Dr. Niall Muldoon:

I agree that the provision of child support workers is crucial. I do not know of any report either, but the idea of a single parent or two parents together and their children going into a traumatic situation without the support of someone who knows about trauma-informed work, such as a child support workers, is unconscionable and makes it difficult.

People have not planned or prepared for this and we really need to know that every child is being supported to the utmost of our ability as a State. It will save down the line and it is crucial that we try to provide that where we can.
