Description

This indispensable book provides essential theory around child protection, data protection and online safety in Ireland, illustrated with practical frameworks, tools and advice. It includes draft policies and guides on how to write child safeguarding statements and child protection policies, helping practitioners navigate Irish child law and practice.

This practical emphasis is enriched with detailed case analysis and commentary on legislation, including:

- Child Care Act 1991
- Children First Act 2015
- Online Safety and Media Regulation Act 2022
- EU's Digital Services Act

Also included is valuable discussion around keeping children safe online, and an overview of laws and regulations concerning child safeguarding, the online world, and data protection, particularly concerning children's data. This title is set to become the go-to resource for data protection and child and family law practitioners, as well as other statutory bodies and organisations working with children.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Child and Family Law online service.
