The purpose of this review is to audit our approach to the investigations function in monitoring children\u2019s rights and to determine in the context of a need for public sector reform, the areas that particularly affect children and require attention.<\/p>\n

The aim of this research was to examine a select number of Investigation Statements\u00a0with a view to assessing whether and to what extent the actions of the public bodies in\u00a0question met children\u2019s rights standards.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Failure to provide appropriate housing in the case of a child with a disability;<\/li>\n
  2. Provision of school transport for 23 children;<\/li>\n
  3. The refusal by a County Council to grant tenancy of a local authority dwelling;<\/li>\n
  4. The delay in a suitable placement being made available to a young person by the\u00a0\u00a0HSE;<\/li>\n
  5. Eligibility for Concessionary School Transport of a Child with Special Needs;<\/li>\n
