Tusla to open specialised facilities for children affected by sexual abuse in Cork and Dublin
The new plan also seeks a 30% reduction across the three years in the number of children awaiting assessment for Home Schooling under Alternative Education Assessment and Registration Services, starting from a baseline figure in 2020 of 1,435.
Tusla is targetting a 30% reduction in all its national waiting lists over the next three years, as well as opening facilities to help children affected by sexual abuse in Cork and Dublin.
The targets are included in Tusla's latest three-year corporate plan, which will run to 2023 and aims to improve how complaints are dealt with; increase compliance with national standards for child protection and welfare, residential care and foster care; and train all staff in the fundamentals of GDPR, with specific training provided to some staff engaged in high-risk areas of data processing.
