PQ 2549
2549. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality whether she is satisfied that St. John Ambulance is fully implementing the recommendations of the Shannon report given that the National Safeguarding Officer’s own audit report of August 2025 identifies ongoing safeguarding deficiencies and makes further recommendations for corrective action; his views on whether these findings suggest that key safeguarding measures were not fully embedded in practice as of August 2025; and his views on whether there needs to be a clearly defined independent mechanism to verify that the recommendations of the Shannon report have been implemented fully in practice.
