Caroline Strong

Caroline Strong is the Chief Operations Officer of the Irish Association of Social Workers (IASW), where she advocates for the welfare of children and emphasizes the need for improved inter-agency communication in child protection cases. Recently, she highlighted the concerns of social workers who feel hindered by GDPR regulations when sharing critical information about children's safety. Strong has called for a review of the Child Care Act to facilitate better collaboration among agencies involved in child welfare, particularly in light of tragic cases such as that of Daniel Aruebose, to ensure that lessons are learned and systemic gaps are addressed.
