A social worker has warned that the ongoing monitoring of children named on Tusla’s Child Protection Notification System is proving “a serious challenge” amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cork-based John Finn, writing in the ‘Irish Social Work’ blog, also said of the current outbreak: “Many foster placements will come under serious pressure during this crisis and, unfortunately, some will break down.”
