I understand the Deputy is referring to the recent document circulated by the ISPCC as part of its 'How Can We Be Sure They're Safe?' campaign. I have only recently received this document and the issues raised in it are being considered by my Office and by the Departments of Education and Science and Justice, Equality and Law Reform. My Office has also asked the Health Service Executive to consider the document in the context of its provision of Child Protection and Family Support Services under the Child Care Act, 1991.
