I thank Mr. McBride. We are scheduled to conclude in three minutes so I propose to focus on just one area, namely, certain findings in the report that I am not sure have been covered extensively. The report refers to children not being assessed after allegations. Mr. McBride's organisation has identified that they are at risk. The report refers to assessment in a timely and effective manner. Reference is made to inconsistencies in safety planning across the State, specifically in respect of allegations of child sex abuse.
