Abstract / Description of output

This chapter explores the issues and global relevance of child protection and welfare in Ireland. It expounds on the evolving political context on the Island of Ireland being the reason behind the nation having two different and independent child protection systems. The chapter also focuses on the impact of Brexit, technologies, and migration while highlighting the importance of neighbouring jurisdictions working together. Technology and social media platforms have also enabled social workers to communicate, monitor, and analyze data on adults who might be a risk to children. On the other hand, migrants are at an increased risk of poverty and social exclusion as children from ethnic minority groups are over-represented in the Irish childcare system.
