The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) monitors the safety and quality of services provided by Oberstown Children Detention Campus under section 185 and section 186 of the Children Act 2001, as amended by Criminal Justice Act, 2006.
This guidance will be used by inspectors alongside the assessment judgment framework, a tool developed by HIQA to assess compliance with regulations and standards. It can also assist the Director and Staff of Oberstown Children Detention Campus to self-assess their own service against the rules and implement continuous improvements. This guidance should be applied in conjunction with Oberstown Children Detention Campus Children’s Rights Policy Framework (2020).
