Fears for vulnerable children as Tusla referrals drop by third
Tusla has confirmed that the number of referrals it has received relating to children have fallen by at least a third since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak here, heightening concerns for the welfare of some vulnerable children.
It came as the Children’’s Rights Alliance began a new Food Provision Scheme to help target children under the age of six who - with schools and early years services closed - may be in danger of malnourishment.
