To what extent is the service anonymous?

We know that it is difficult for clients to take the first step to reach out for help, and people are very often concerned about confidentiality. At One in Four we understand the need to protect the privacy of our clients, but we also understand how important it is that children are protected from harm. We try at all times to ensure that our child protection policy does not deter clients from accessing services.
It is our policy to report any knowledge, belief, or reasonable suspicion that a child (as defined as an individual who, at the time that the mandated person receives, acquires or becomes aware of the information, is under the age of 18) has been harmed, is being harmed, or is at risk of being harmed to Tusla child protection teams.
