Joint Committee On Health
Impact of Covid-19 on Children: Discussion
Mr. John Church:
This relates to Senator Conway's point. Until such time as we can identify the child, we cannot refer him or her. We can only support the child and help him or her in building resilience. As soon as we get any sort of information, we can refer a child. This is sometimes a source of frustration within the service, and definitely a frustration for some of the volunteers. We are looking at whether we can do something more.
