Human Resources

Local authorities publish child safeguarding and protection policies. These cover recruitment of staff and volunteers and training on how to identify and report child protection or welfare concerns to Túsla or An Garda Síochána (national police).

Local authorities may provide reports and information on human resources to government departments and other agencies.

Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, may run graduate programmes in innovation, strategy and change management, economic and business development, project management and human resources management to give graduates an opportunity to use their skills in their work with the local authority.

Laois County Council has responsibility for the delivery of a wide range of services which support the physical, economic, social and cultural development of the County.
