Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2026
923. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality to outline the mandatory training requirements for Tusla social workers in respect of autism, neurodiversity, and disability awareness; the frequency with which such training is refreshed; and whether compliance with these requirements is monitored by her Department. [9375/26]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that the Department’s officials have asked Tusla to respond directly to you on this matter. For clarity, the Department does not have a compliance-monitoring role in respect of non-statutory training requirements established by Tusla. As such, we do not monitor adherence to internal or self-directed training obligations set by Tusla for its staff.
