Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Review of Barnahus Model for Young People who have Experienced Child Sexual Abuse: Discussion

Mr. Des Delaney:

I have spoken to Tusla's area manager in the west and there is a service level agreement with CARI in respect of those two workers providing services. Those significant waiting lists for therapy are concerning and that is why the interdepartmental group has asked for that fresh evaluation of the service, which is literally happening. My colleague, Ms Ciara Doyle, is leading that.
