As part of our programme of outreach and engagement with services working with survivors in Ireland and the UK, we held meetings last week. The meetings allowed us to provide an update on our recent activities and to hear about the experiences of the services in assisting survivors with applications to Caranua and for us to also hear an update from each group.
The areas that were discussed during the meeting were:
- Caranua’s current work
- Outreach and Engagement
