Inter-Agency Protocol
A Protocol to govern interagency cooperation between the HSE and Housing Authorities in relation to services provided for people with a disability has been developed by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Department of Health and Children in association with the HSE and the Local Authorities. The protocol is focussed on children under five years who are assessed by the HSE under Part 2 of the Disability Act, and are identified as likely to require housing support. The protocol details the engagement process which is to be undertaken between the two agencies in these circumstances.
A copy of the protocol and a flow chart detailing the engagement process is available on the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government website.
