My Department is not considering the development of a national strategy for supporting children affected by parental imprisonment at this time. Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, provides family support services to children and families in a range of different circumstances. These services offer advice and support to families. This includes family support workers, social workers, youth workers, family resource centres, support groups and counselling services.
