Data & Information Hub

click a TUSLA area in the map to see a report for that area

In 2016 TUSLA and the DCYA agreed to establish a new project ‘Outcomes for Children National Data & Information Hub’ – offering a sustainable opportunity to provide a national standardised technical solution for mapping outcomes and indicators for children and young people.

This hub provides one centralised platform hosting an agreed set of indicators sourced from relevant published reports. A quick reference guide to assist in the navigation of the hub and the inventory of current indicators is available here.

The hub will be continually updated as and when the relevant published reports become available.

 

Five national outcomes for children and young people:

Healthy
Active & healthy, physical & mental wellbeing

Achieving
Achieving full potential in all areas of learning & development

Safe
Safe & protected from harm

Security
Economic security & opportunity

Connected
Connected, respected & contributing to their world

 

Our vision is for Ireland to be one of the best small countries in the world in which to grow up and raise a family, and where the rights of all children and young people are respected, protected and fulfilled; where their voices are heard and where they are supported to realise their maximum potential now and in the future – BETTER OUTCOMES BRIGHTER FUTURES, The national policy framework for children & young people 2014 – 2020
