195. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the status of Tusla’s draft policy concerning adult disclosures of abuse entitled policy and procedures for responding to allegations of child abuse and neglect September 2014 in view of the Office of the Children's Ombudsman's request for the publication of this document. [2159/18]
View answerI am informed that the “Policy and Procedures for Responding to Allegations of Child Abuse and Neglect”, dated September 2014, is the current policy and that all Tusla staff had been advised of same. I understand that a review of the policy is ongoing, which includes consideration of how to support staff with additional guidance.
I have sought an update from Tusla with regard to the publication of this document.
