Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Children's Rights Alliance Report Card 2019: Discussion
Ms Edel Quinn:
We engage thoroughly with about seven Departments, including the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, and a number of agencies and bodies within those Departments so the level of engagement is very heavy. We find that they are keen to highlight the work they have done so for the most part they tend to engage well and provide us with the data we need. That is helpful. We know every year that when it comes to completing our Report Card we can find the information we need and help our members with that as well if they are looking for particular information. We find that it is a positive engagement, something that we have built up over years and we actively work to maintain that positive relationship.
