Child Care Information System has ‘surely got to make things safer’

Tusla’s new National Child Care Information System has been many years in the making, but as the Child and Family Agency prepare to finally roll it out across the country, those behind it have given it a ringing endorsement.

“In terms of accountability and responsibility, from a service provider’s point of view and an individual point of view, you can’t hide from it,” according to Niamh Browne, service lead, NCCIS. “Anything that is done on the system is trackable, one way or the other. There are people that can go in deeper and find it.”

Her colleague, Tusla’s head of the programme management office, Fergal Collins, agrees: “It’s surely got to make things safer.”
