A statement of an investigation into the provision of supports and therapeutic services for a child following disclosures of alleged sexual abuse

In November 2009 an investigation was initiated by the Ombudsman for Children under Section 8 of the Ombudsman for Children Act, 2002 (the Act). The investigation was based on a complaint we received in relation to the administrative actions of the Health Service Executive (HSE) and how they may have affected a child.

Under Section 13(2) of the Act, following an investigation, the Ombudsman for Children is required to produce a statement outlining the results. In accordance with the Act, this statement is for distribution to the public body under investigation, the complainant, other relevant parties involved in the investigation and any other persons to whom the Ombudsman for Children considers it appropriate to send the statement.
