Welfare of Children replaces previous editions and should be the only one
in use. It is intended for use by the general public, mandated persons and
other professionals whose work brings them into contact with children
and also by staff and volunteers of organisations providing services to
children. Social workers and staff of Tusla – Child and Family Agency,
should note that the Child Protection and Welfare Practice Handbook
is the reference point for all practice detail.
