Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

HIQA Report: Engagement with Tusla

2:00 pm

Mr. Cormac Quinlan:

We have a joint protocol under Children First on our respective responsibilities in terms of notifying each other. Those are happening all the time, correctly and accurately. What we are talking about here is a broader information sharing agreement to cover how we share information with each other. We absolutely share information with each other all the time in respect of our functions under the joint protocol for Children First. It is a requirement under GDPR that we have to have an information sharing agreement.
