Prior to the publication of the UCD SERP report, DCEDIY and Tusla established a Working Group looking at institutional and organisational abuse. DCEDIY has requested that the working group considers the UCD SERP report. The working group is currently in the process of commissioning external research funded jointly by the Departmemt and by Tusla and this external research will consider the scoping study by UCD as part of its work.

Tusla have also established an anti-trafficking working group in readiness for the Department of Justice's National Action Plan for Human Trafficking which includes the area of child sexual exploitation. This work is on going.
