Hello John,
I hope that you are staying safe and well during these challenging times.
I'm contacting you to alert you to the latest communication from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) seeking expressions of interest from Youth Workers for temporary deployment to residential centres for children and young people.
Read the complete DCYA Covid-19 Communication (16 April) here.
It highlights that one of the critical impacts arising from Covid-19 on vulnerable young people is the staffing shortages being experienced in children’s residential centres. These essential services are necessary to provide care and support to young people in home-based environments.
In response, as the parent department with responsibility for both Tusla and the youth sector DCYA is seeking expressions of interest from Youth Workers for temporary deployment to residential centres for children and young people.
As ever if you have any questions or feedback, let me know.
We are monitoring this ongoing situation regarding Covid-19, and NYCI will continue to act as a national point of contact for the Department of Children and Youth Affairs to disseminate information to the wider youth sector.
Stay safe and stay well.
Kind regards,
Mary
Mary Cunningham
