Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Tusla

Mr. Cormac Quinlan:

The Department of Justice is leading a review of section 3 of the Child Care Act. Ms Caroline Biggs, SC, is chairing that process and both ourselves and the gardaí are part of that process, informing the required changes we feel need to be made to section 3 to consider how the legislation might support more effective engagement.
