Analysis: At risk-children will remain vulnerable to being ‘disappeared’ unless attitudes change
His words came just hours after the publication of two other equally damning reports on services apparently losing, forgetting and failing some of our most vulnerable children.
The report provides disturbing examples of children, referred to Tusla, left without even a preliminary assessment, including two children under eight who were left for so long that it appeared social workers were “unable to determine” where they now lived.” for more than 200 unaccompanied children seeking international protection “required significant improvement”. Here too, children did not have “timely access” to services.
Hiqa found “the lack of leadership and governance was evident” in the service, which was focused on “crisis responses”. This was from the report on services for unaccompanied minors, but it could have been in any of the three. It was important to note, said Dr Susan Finnerty, chief inspector of mental health services and author of the report, that Ireland ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1992. Article 24 recognises children have the right to “the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health”.
