This meta-analysis report is designed to highlight many of the flaws of the system in which some of our most vulnerable children find themselves in. However, it is also offers a range of recommendations which aim to account for the systemic root causes of these recurring problems. The Ombudsman for Children\u2019s Office has been investigating issues relating to children in care for 10 years and, in light of the re-organisation of children\u2019s services, sought to provide an overview of the repetitive issues and their root causes so that the new agency, Tusla could benefit from our systemic recommendations. It was in this spirit that we engaged with Tusla and we are very pleased to present, within this report, their response to our recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":561,"template":"","class_list":["post-541","library","type-library","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource_type-report","resource_topic-children-in-care"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nA meta-analysis of repetitive root cause issues regarding the provision of services for children in care - 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\/meta-analysis-repetitive-root-cause-issues-regarding-provision-services-children-care\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ga_IE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A meta-analysis of repetitive root cause issues regarding the provision of services for children in care - Ombudsman for Children\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This meta-analysis report is designed to highlight many of the flaws of the system in which some of our most vulnerable children find themselves in.
