Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Discussion with CEO of Tusla on Future Developments and Update on Childcare Facilities
Mr. Brian Lee:
The highest point of any risk register we have would be that the provider is on the national registration enforcement panel. It would have received correspondence that it is at that level with us in terms of enforcement by the head of registration and enforcement. With regard to conditions, the providers will be aware that they have conditions. We do not actively communicate the risk register to providers at this time. We will consider how that might be worked in the future. To date, it has been used as an internal register to support our processes in prioritising for inspection planning and focusing where our resources are best suited. However, services that are in the top end would know that they are there. They are told that they are at risk of losing their registration or of other enforcement processes that we might have.
