A “crisis” in child homelessness in Ireland is causing an increase in suspected child abuse and neglect, the State’s independent child protection expert has said.
It found that even in family hub accommodation, “there is evidence of alcohol and drug use, and of children being exposed to distressing fights between adults”.
Professor Conor O’Mahony (the special rapporteur on child protection) said it was “unsurprising that a sustained crisis in child homelessness would generate an associated increase in child protection referrals to Tusla”.
In his annual report for 2019, Prof O’Mahony warned it is likely that the problem of suspected child abuse in homelessness services has been underreported.
