Children’s Services Unit

What we do

There are approximately 100,000 children and young people under the age of 18 living in Dublin City. The Children’s Services Unit was established in 2007 to actively work towards making Dublin a better place for children and young people.  We work to promote awareness of children’s and young people’s needs including play development and access to quality childcare.  We work closely with other internal city council departments and outside agencies such as Dublin City Children’s Services Committee, Dublin City Play Plan Steering Group and Dublin City Childcare Committee.
