Tusla not proceeding with scheme to reduce garda child protection notifications 

Tusla has said it has no plans to roll out a pilot scheme that cut hundreds of child welfare and protection notifications it was receiving from gardaí in Cork. 

According to a recent internal audit, the area management team in Tusla Cork commenced the pilot initiative in response to the significant number of notifications being received from An Garda Siochána where the threshold for intervention by Tusla is not met, but which still required processing.
