Aontú calls for ‘Irish Sea border in terms of people’ to ensure stricter immigration checks in Northern Ireland “Carers were being approved on an emergency basis without having completed the necessary mandatory training in fostering, and in one case Garda vetting had not been completed,” said one inspection report.
“Reviews of care plans were not conducted in line with the time frames set out in the regulations and the process for the review of children’s care plans required greater oversight by managers,” it added. On the child protection and welfare services, inspectors found it was better supported since the previous Hiqa inspection in February 2023.
