New service to advocate for children in care
The national advocacy service operated by EPIC (Empowering People In Care) will provide a one- to-one service exclusively for children in, and leaving the care system, operating in Dublin North East, Dublin Mid-Leinster, and Cork in HSE South.
The hands-on service aims to ensure that the views of the young person are heard, in addition to linking them to appropriate services and attending various meetings such as care reviews.
