Therapy units criticise Garda handling of child interviews
Gardaí do not consistently share videos of interviews of sexually abused children with other agencies, despite protocols that allow for sharing, two of the country’s leading child sexual abuse assessment and therapy units have said.
Sharing of such videos would reduce the number of times children need to be interviewed.
And while Tusla, gardaí and the units agree interviews with children about sexual abuse should be kept to a minimum, in practice that is not always the case.
