A fusion of horizons: an exploration of text and context in the formation of Tusla, the Child and Family Agency

A fusion of horizons: an exploration of text and context in the formation of Tusla, the Child and Family Agency
(2018)
Sheridan, Niamh
Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the creation of Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. This state agency was formed in January 2014 with a vision of creating an organisation which would improve the safety and welfare of children in the Irish state. The creation of this agency heralded fundamental changes, including the disaggregation of children’s services from the Health Service Executive, the dissolution of other non-governmental agencies and the reorientation of community organisations working in the area of children’s services. This study focuses on the relationship between aspiration and reality and aims to explicate both the apparent and subterranean connections between one government report – ‘‘Report of the Task Force on the Child and Family Support Agency (2012)’’ and the experience of front line workers during the implementation of the findings of this report. The study is placed at the intersection between text and context and aspiration and reality, and explores the emergi...

Collective participation of children in care: a formative evaluation of the Tusla / EPIC foster care action groups
(2019)
Jackson, Rebecca; Brady, Bernadine; Forkan, Cormac; Tierney, Edel; Kennan, Danielle
Abstract:
Children’s participation has been defined as ‘the process by which children and young people have active involvement and real influence in decision-making on matters affecting their lives, both directly and indirectly’ (DCYA, 2015: 20). Children’s participation can relate to decision-making about their own lives and circumstances (individual participation) or to the issues affecting a group of children and young people (collective participation). This study focuses on collective participation, which is defined by Seim and Slettebø (2011: 498) as ‘the goal of improving services for everyone in the same situation’.

Influencing policy and practice for young people in foster care: Learning from a model of collective participation
(2020)

Abstract:
A strong rationale for the collective participation of young people in care regarding decisions related to their care experience is evident in literature and statutory reports. However international research demonstrates challenges relating to participation in the childcare system. This includes context specific factors relating to issues in the field of child protection and welfare, along with more universal challenges such as access and diversity of representation, the imposition of adult formats and agendas and limits to the level of influence achieved. This paper reflects on the collective participation of young people in care in a rights-based initiative intended to facilitate input into service and policy development. This model, initiated by Tusla, Irelands Child and Family Agency, in partnership with EPIC an independent advocacy agency, provided an opportunity for young people in care to share direct experiences in order to identify and address challenges within the care sys...

Meitheal and child and family support networks final report: Tusla’s programme for prevention, partnership and family support
(2018)

Abstract:
The Development and Mainstreaming Programme for Prevention, Partnership and Family Support (PPFS) is a programme of action being undertaken by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, as part of its National Service Delivery Framework. The programme seeks to embed prevention and early intervention into the culture and operation of Tusla. The UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway has undertaken an evaluation study focusing on the implementation of and the outcomes from the PPFS programme. The study’s overall research question is: Is the organisational culture and practice of Tusla and its partners changing such that services are more integrated, preventative, evidence-informed, and inclusive of children and parents? If so, is this contributing to improved outcomes for children and their families? The evaluation study has adopted a Work Package approach reflecting the key components of the PPFS programme. The five work packages are: Meitheal and Child and Family Support Netwo...

The Influence of Childcare Arrangements on Child Well Being from Infancy to Middle Childhood
(2015)
Byrne, Delma; O'Toole, Catriona
Abstract:
In 2012, the Family Support Agency (now Túsla, the Child and Family Agency) in collaboration with the Irish Research Council commissioned this study to investigate the wellbeing of children from families in which the parents are in employment and the children are minded by others. The study set out to describe the uptake of non-parental care from infancy to middle childhood, and to determine how such uptake influences the wellbeing of children. This is the first national study of the well-being of children from infancy to midd le childhood in the Irish context. The key research objectives were: 1. To explore the relationship between childcare arrangements in early childhood and out-of- school care in middle childhood and children’s physical, cognitive and socio-emotional outcomes; and, 2. To identify the key risk factors associated with children’s well-being from infancy to middle childhood.

Abstract:
The Prevention, Partnership and Family Support (PPFS) Programme is a comprehensive programme of early intervention and preventative work which is being undertaken by Tusla – Child and Family Agency in Ireland with the support of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre (UCFRC), National University of Ireland Galway (NUI Galway). This Programme is being implemented collaboratively by Tusla and its partner organisations by way of five main work streams (Tusla, 2017), one of which is the Parenting Support and Parental Participation work stream. The Department of Children and Youth Affairs’ ‘High-Level Policy Statement on Supporting Parents and Families’ (2015) gives a policy platform for Tusla to strengthen and grow Parenting and Family Support as an effective prevention and early intervention measure to promote best possible outcomes for children. To that end, Tusla produced the Parenting Support Strategy, which ‘sets out the strategic direction of the Child and Family Agency in it...
