'Challenges' remain in Tusla Cork's child protection and welfare services, despite improvements – Hiqa

Senior managers within Tusla in Cork told inspectors that unless the area was "appropriately resourced" there would be an impact on vulnerable children.

The report on a risk-based inspection of Cork child protection and welfare services is based on a follow-up inspection last November by the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa). At the time, there were 89 children whose names were entered into the Child Protection Notification System (CPNS) and who were subject to a child protection safety plan.
