Abstract:

Greg Kelly and Dominic McSherry describe the timescales involved in achieving freeing orders for 23 children in Northern Ireland between 1996 and 1999. There was delay at all stages in the process. The delays were particularly pronounced in social services and social services/legal services processes. The authors conclude that if adoption is to be made available to more children from state care, current arrangements, including legislation, will need revision and reform.

Abstract:

Ireland's health system is primarily funded from general taxation and is publicly provided, although private health care retains a considerable role. It is a unique structure, a mixture of universal health service free at the point of consumption and a fee-based private system where individuals subscribe to private health insurance that covers some of their medical expenses. The recent history of the Irish health services saw consolidation of existing services and an expansion into new areas to adapt to changing practices and needs. There has also been a drive to extract maximum efficiency so

Abstract:

We have examined the history of education service provision in the Republic of Ireland for persons with intellectual disabilities. We distinguished between children with mild or general learning difficulties and those with severe and profound intellectual disabilities as the development of educational services for these two groups has differed dramatically. Distinctions between rural and urban educational systems were made where appropriate. We have purposefully neglected to address services for students with moderate intellectual disabilities as we believe that those services for students wit

The most critical period of human development is from conception to age six years when important brain structures develop.

A considerable proportion of developmental delay is avoidable and early detection and intervention can improve child, family, and community outcomes.

Introduction In 2022, almost 74,000 people with disabilities engaged with a disability service in Ireland. Of those, 7,486 people were living in a residential service, while overnight respite was provided to 3,196 people. National standards for health and social care promote practice that is up to date, evidence based and consistent. Since the publication of the National Standards for Residential Services for Children and Adults with Disabilities in 2013 by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) in Ireland, there have been significant changes in the sector, including an increased

Abstract:

The COVID pandemic increased mental health problems. This was particularly the case for children and young people and specifically for those on the long waiting lists in Northern Ireland for assessment for ASD or ADHD or mental health services. The South East Mind Matters (SEMM) project is a 30 month funded project delivered by the 4 Healthy Living Centres in the South East of Northern Ireland. SEMM is a trauma informed package of support for people experiencing or are caring for people with poor mental health. A single point of contact co-producing support for the person while also building c

Abstract:

Profiling bilingual and minority language acquisition is becoming increasingly important for the work of speech and language therapists in Ireland. The Official Language Act (2003) dictates that all government and public services must be provided in Irish as well as English. Therefore SLTs must now be prepared to assess and treat clients in the Irish language. This paper describes how an assessment of early expressive vocabulary and grammatical development for children aged between 16 and 40 months was adapted to Irish from the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (Fenson et a

Abstract:

IntroductionThe aim of this project is to determine the patterns, decision-making processes and parental preferences associated with unscheduled paediatric healthcare utilisation in Ireland. Unscheduled paediatric healthcare is outpatient care provided within primary care settings by general practitioners (GPs), emergency departments (EDs) located in paediatric and general hospitals, and out-of-hours services provided by cooperatives of GPs operating on a regional basis. This project will take a multimethod approach to analysing the utilisation of unscheduled paediatric healthcare nationally w

Abstract:

Purpose: In Ireland, the complex needs of people with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus (SB and/or H) are treated across primary care and tertiary specialist services. Traditionally, there has been much variation in how primary care services are delivered. To increase equity, ‘Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People’ is a policy which is being implemented to reconfigure children’s services into multidisciplinary teams, for all disabilities. These changes, and an apparent discontinuity of support in the transition to adult services, requires further research exploring serv

Abstract:

Summary The extra strains experienced by families who care for a relative with intellectual disabilities are well documented. The provision of overnight (respite) breaks or supports in the home are common ways of supporting family carers. Often demand exceeds supply. Using data from a national register in Ireland, child and adults who received overnight breaks and in-home support were identified along with the characteristics that distinguished them from families that did not have these services. Moreover, changes in provision over a 10-year period were monitored and variations in provision ac

Abstract:

The Kids Active program was developed with the aim of increasing physical activity (PA) and fundamental movement skill (FMS) levels of children in preschool services in Ireland through training educators to encourage active play opportunities. In this study, the impact of a six-week pilot program on educator confidence, as well as children’s PA levels and FMS proficiency, is evaluated. Educators’ (n = 32) confidence to teach PA was measured through questionnaire, while data (anthropometric data, PA via accelerometry, and proficiency in four FMS; run, vertical jump, overhand throw, and catch) w

Background:Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with international prevalence rates estimated to be 5%. It is currently the most common disorder treated in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Ireland. There have been a number of guidelines worldwide produced to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD; however, there are no guidelines available specifically for the Irish population and healthcare system.Objectives:The aim of this paper is to review the available clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of ADHD in c

Abstract:

Both Wexford and Waterford Counties are badly suffering from the lack of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). This is directly connected to the lack of CAMHS consultants to lead these services. Accessing the existing CAMHS services, especially in emergency, is particularly difficult as the waiting lists are ever growing, and therefore delaying the possibility of an early first appointment. An emergency “out of hours” child psychiatric service has been developed, in order to provide help when the CAMHS services are not accessible. Providing a service for under 18 yea
