Children First Information and Advice Service

Tusla’s Children First Information and Advice Service (CFIAS for short) is a small, national team. We have expertise in Children First National Guidance and Children First legislation, and work from locations around the country. The CFIAS helps organisations to understand and plan for Children First implementation. Much of our work involves supporting Government Departments, service sectors, and umbrella bodies so they can better support the organisations and groups that they are responsible for. We also support individual organisations and groups, as well as professionals who work alone, and the public. Priority is given to Tusla funded and partner organisations and Tusla departments and directorates. The short video, below, for organisations and people who work with children, explains more about our services.
