Dr. Niall Muldoon:

I wish to add to that. We invested a lot of time in trying to help organisations and agencies to do complaints better. We have a complaint handling leaflet which we engage with. We have brought it to teacher conferences. We bring it to other places. We have engaged with the HSE and Tusla on it so that we can help to make it as easy as possible for them to handle a complaint on the ground so that they do not have to come to us. We are trying to prevent all the time as well.
