Summary
The Ombudsman for Childrens Office (OCO) released their annual report, revealing a surge in complex complaints involving multiple agencies. Education issues topped the list, accounting for 31% of complaints, followed by Tusla and health services. The OCO also engaged with over 2500 children through rights education workshops. Three percent of complaints related to accommodation centers for asylum seekers, citing living conditions and complaint handling issues. Housing complaints, mainly regarding suitable housing for children with disabilities and long waiting lists, accounted for 6% of complaints.
