Concerns were focused on education, Tusla and access to health services
Almost 1,800 complaints were made to the Ombudsman for Children's office last year.
Children’s services are under increasing pressure, according to the Ombudsman for Children’s latest annual report.
Concerns were focused on education, Tusla and access to health services.
The report warns children’s rights are “in the balance”, with growing concerns around housing, disability services, education and mental health supports.
The office is calling for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to be fully incorporated into law.
