Mr. Cormac Quinlan:

This is an absolute clear goal of our child protection and welfare strategy. We want to put children and families back at the centre of what we do and bring good practice as to how we engage with families in order to keep children safe. Part of the strategy is to align our processes to good practice. Part of our work going forward will be to align all of those key policies to make sure they make sense to the worker to ensure the practice they are doing with the family is supported. That is what policies and procedures should do. They should not be there to conflict with what the practitioner wants to do with the family. They should be there to support it. That is a core stream of work within our strategy to help practitioners to be compliant when it fits within the practice they want to do.
