Since it was established on January 1, 2014, Tusla has been working to promote and enhance the safety, wellbeing, and outcomes for children in Ireland. Over the past 10 years, the Agency has grown significantly. It has adapted to meet increasing demand for its services, with a 100% increase in child protection and welfare referrals. Tusla has also implemented new services in line with changing policy and legislation, such as the Birth Information & Tracing Service.

Additionally, the Agency has developed innovative programmes to meet emerging challenges, like the one to address the 500% increase in Separated Children Seeking International Protection/Unaccompanied Minors. Throughout this period, Tusla's corporate functions have also matured and developed to support the Agency's mission and enable reform.
