Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Impact of Homelessness on Children: Discussion

Ms Niamh Lambe:

In the family health service I manage we have more than 1,000 children linked to the service we work with. To put it into context, some 9% of those children have a child support worker. We have many case managers working with the adults of the families but to look at the families as a whole I believe it is important to look at every child and hear every child's voice.
