A mother becomes guarded when you explain the Children First assessment follows a referral from her GP.

You
"I can hear this feels like a lot. Under Children First, my job is to understand how things are at home for your son and see what support might help — can we start there?"

Mother
"The doctor shouldn't have said anything. We're managing fine. I don't see why Tusla needs to be involved."

2.0 / 3 Good framing of purpose. Acknowledge her concern before moving into assessment questions.

Statutory focus

AI-generated, fictional cases — every session is a fresh family and situation, never a real child or real risk. Local RAG sources ingested for case generation and reflection.

Referral to Tusla

Initial referral or concern — screening and allocation.

Child protection assessment

Initial assessment of risk and need under Children First.

Multi-agency conference

Garda coordination and the child protection conference process.

Honest about depth. Ireland knowledge grounding is a limited pilot corpus, not equivalent to the UK pack. National Tusla pilot — verify against Children First and local procedures. Treat statutory references as starting points and verify against local guidance. Roles available today: Social Worker, Family Support Worker, Early Help Worker.

Irish statutory context — not UK Working Together. Training only — not decision support for live cases, not legal advice, and not a substitute for supervision.
