In May 2017, the OCO prepared a submission to the Seanad Public Consultation Committee on children\u2019s mental health services in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Included in this submission are recommendations relating to the development of a new, stand alone, comprehensive Government strategy specifically addressing the mental health needs of all children and young people; the recognition of children\u2019s right to child-centred and quality mental health services at a statutory level; the development of universal, accessible and evidence-based, prevention and early intervention mental health services at a community level; ending the practice of admitting children to adult psychiatric units as a matter of urgency; and the establishment of a mental health advocacy and information service that is specifically for children, and accordingly accessible and child-friendly.<\/p>\n

The Ombudsman for Children, Dr Niall Muldoon, appeared before the Seanad Public Consultation Committee in July 2017 to discuss children\u2019s mental health services and outline these recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2317,"template":"","class_list":["post-2314","library","type-library","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource_type-submission","resource_topic-health","resource_topic-mental-health"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSubmission to the Seanad Public Consultation Committee on Children\u2019s Mental Health Services in Ireland - Ombudsman for Children<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oco.ie\/ga\/library\/submission-seanad-public-consultation-committee-childrens-mental-health-services-ireland\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ga_IE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Submission to the Seanad Public Consultation Committee on Children\u2019s Mental Health Services in Ireland - Ombudsman for Children\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In May 2017, the OCO prepared a submission to the Seanad Public Consultation Committee on children\u2019s mental health services in Ireland.
