Abstract
On 20th May 2010, to mark the first anniversary of the Ryan report, Barnardos and seven
other organisations working directly with children or adult survivors of child abuse came
together to launch the Saving Childhood Ryan campaign. The other organisations are
Children at Risk Ireland, Children’s Rights Alliance, Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, ISPCC, Irish
Association of Young People in Care, One in Four and Rape Crisis Network Ireland. The
campaign aimed to lobby the Government to implement the Ryan Implementation Plan
recommendations which would seriously improve the child protection systems and reduce
the risk of harm to children across Ireland. It looked specifically at the progress of ten
selected aspects of the Plan, recognising and welcoming where progress has been made
while also highlighting the impact of the absence of progress in other areas especially when
the agreed timeframes have been passed.
