HIQA review finds children significantly at risk in Co CorkTuesday 24 March 2015 22.13 A review of child protection and welfare services in Co Cork by the Health Information and Quality Authority has found that children there were at significant risk as a result of failures by the Child and Family Agency - Tusla. The findings arise from a full inspection of services in the county conducted by the authority last October. The report of the inspection was published by HIQA this morning. In its report, HIQA makes two specific findings where, it says, children were at a significant risk as a result of failures by Tusla. HIQA says children deemed to have a high level of need were placed at risk by the failure to allocate a social worker to them, or to give them timely access to child protection and welfare interventions. Of the almost 5,000 cases referred to Tusla in Co Cork, more than 1,000 had no allocated social worker, including 234 who were deemed high priority. HIQA also says that, where allegations of retrospective abuse were made against adults, Tusla failed to establish the risks to all children who may have been in contact with the adults against whom allegations were made. Of the 27 standards assessed by HIQA, 19 required further improvement. Tusla has undertaken to address the deficiencies.

Páistí i mbaol i gContae Chorcaigh de réir tuarascála ó HIQADé Máirt 24 Márta 2015 16.20 Léiríonn athbhreithniú a rinne An tÚdarás Um Fhaisnéis agus Cáilíocht Sláinte nó HIQA ar sheirbhísí cúraim leanaí agus seirbhísí leasa i gCondae Chorcaigh go raibh páistí i mbaol mar go raibh teipthe ar an Ghníomhaireacht um Leanaí agus an Teaghlach. Baineann an tuarascáil seo, a foilsíodh ar maidin le cigireacht iomlán a rinne HIQA ar sheirbhísí sa chontae i mí Deireadh Fómhair seo caite. Dúradh gur chlis an ghníomhaireacht seo Tusla ina cuid dualgas maidir leis seo. Luaitear cásanna nár cuireadh oibrí sóisialta ar fáil do pháistí agus nár tugadh cosaint dóibh ná an cúnamh a bhí ag teastáil uathu. Deir Tusla go ngabhfaidh sé i ngleic lena chuid fadhbanna agus go bhfuil obair fheabhsúcháin ar bun aige cheana féin.
