Today @CarolCoulter17 shared learnings from our court reporting as part of @ChildRightsIRL #EndChildPovertyWeek at an event in #Cork on child welfare & alternative care
Children's Rights Alliance@ChildRightsIRL

Dr @CarolCoulter17 notes that a common thread in many of the child law reporting cases is the experience of adverse childhood experience. In October @ChildLawProject will publish an analysis of trends over the last three years of their work.

Heartening to see, among our reports published today, foster carers being awarded enhanced rights for a foster child they describe as "part of the family". Foster carers are the backbone of the care system. @IfcaInfo @tusla childlawproject.ie/latest-volume/…
