Children’s Residential Services Awareness Week
Welcome to Children’s Residential Services Awareness Week 2024! From September 23rd to 27th, we’re celebrating the exceptional work done by Social Care Workers across Ireland, day in and day out, across statutory, voluntary and private care providers. This week is all about shining a light on the dedicated professionals who help shape brighter futures for children and young people in residential care.
Children’s Residential Services play a vital role in the lives of vulnerable children and young people, providing them with a safe, nurturing environment where they can heal, grow, and thrive. Social Care Workers are at the heart of this work, making a real difference every day.

We’re united by a common goal: to support and enhance the workforce within Children’s Residential Services, ensuring every child in residential care or in need of a care placement receives the support they need.
