Vulnerability Assessments

In their submission, CPNN suggested that the DCEDIY “immediately commence implementing all aspects of the European Communities Reception Conditions Regulation 2018”, for which the Department is responsible. They recommended that Vulnerability Assessments, in particular, would be included in the SoS. This point was echoed across four other submissions, with CEC among others, recommending that the Department deepen their focus on “trauma- informed processes” in assessing applications, with the provision of more appropriately qualified translators required to help support this process.
