Finding Daniel Aruebose casts 10th birthday of Children First in gloom

The disappearances of Daniel Aruebose and Kyran Durnin are horrifying reminders that Ireland's record on vulnerable children is poor — and it's not improving 

Daniel Aruebose, whose remains were found on Wednesday: his tragic fate demonstrates serious issues in child protection.

I finally got to sit down and update my Children First training online the other day. It’s a mandatory training module for everyone who works with children in health and social care, and the renewal date always comes around quicker than I expect.

Coincidentally, I noticed the supporting legislation for this training, the Children First Act, is celebrating 10 years since enactment.
