‘Significant risks’ at disabilities centre, Hiqa finds

Inspectors at a disabilities centre have highlighted shortcomings in protecting people from abuse, including one incident in which the person in charge at the facility was unaware of a previous “significant” episode.
Previous inspections into standards at the Dunwiley and Cloghan facility in Co Donegal, which is operated by the HSE, had found “significant risks relating to the safety and welfare of residents at the centre”.
