To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if her Department or the State Examinations Commission is providing Tusla (Child and Family Agency) with details of students to trigger investigations into individual families and children based on answers provided in State examinations; if so, if the context and legal provision for this will be explained; if students and their parents/guardians have been made aware of this possibility; how many such instances have occurred to date in 2023; what records of such investigations are kept, and for how long and by whom; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the state examinations.

In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
