Hike in tip-offs to preschool services watchdog

New figures from Tusla show a soaring number of incidents notified to its Early Years Inspectorate and an even more dramatic growth in the number of unsolicited tip-offs made to the pre-school services watchdog.
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency’s latest quarterly report also showed another record overall number of referrals to it, with 15,401 made in the second quarter of 2019. That is the highest number for all quarters since Tusla was established at the start of 2014.
