Written answers

Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, is an operationally independent body. In line with the Oversight Agreement with the Department, Tusla is responsible for the maintenance of its Corporate Risk Register. The identification, assessment and mitigating of risks, including those related to residential care placements, are a matter for Tusla management, its Audit and Risk Committee and its Board.
