Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Tusla

Mr. Jim Gibson:

It is also within the remit of area managers to develop mindfulness programmes for their staff and they recognise the need to do that. There are examples across Tusla where area managers have commissioned specific mindfulness and alternative-type activities which assist staff in dealing with the emotional turmoil they sometimes face.
