Cad é Oifig an Ombudsman do Leanaí?

Is institiúid cearta daonna sinn. Oibríonn muid chun cearta leanaí agus daoine óga in Éirinn a chothú.

Fiosraíonn muid gearáin a déantar faoi seirbhísí phoiblí do leanaí.

Ba bhreá linn go mbeadh cluas éisteachta tugtha do leanaí agus daoine óga, go dtabharfaí meas dóibh, ionas go mbeidh siad sona sábháilte acu ina gnáthshaol.
