Abstract
Barnardos welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Health Service
Executive towards the establishment of a National Protocol for the Exchange of
Information in relation to the Investigation and Prosecution of Cases of Abuse.
Barnardos agrees that such a protocol is necessary to operate between the HSE, the
Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and An Garda Siochana to
facilitate the exchange of information in the investigation and prosecution of cases
involving abuse. Consideration should also be given to how information other
agencies, including non-statutory agencies, can be included with this or similar
protocols.
