About this Event
Welcome to the AGALI Conference!
Ireland stands at a historic crossroads in child representation. As the Child Care (Amendment) Act 2022 moves toward full commencement, the transition from independent advocacy to a centralised civil service model marks a significant shift in decades for the voice of the child in our courts. But what does this structural change actually mean for the children at the heart of the system?
Join us at the AGALI Conference—From Independent Advocate to Civil Servant: What Ireland's Guardian ad Litem Reform Means for Children—as we discuss bridging the gap between policy and practice. This isn't just a briefing; it’s a critical forum for:
- GALs & Legal Professionals: Navigating the shift in professional autonomy and the practicalities of the new national service.
- Policy Makers & TDs: Evaluating if the reform as it stands truly fulfills its promise of "high quality" and "consistent" representation.
- Advocates & Stakeholders: Ensuring that "the best interests of the child" doesn't become a bureaucratic checkbox.
The landscape is changing. Be part of the conversation that ensures Ireland’s most vulnerable voices are not lost in the transition.
