There were also complaints lodged relating to Child and Family Agency, Tusla, as well as Local Authorities.
Tusla was criticised for how they communicate with service users, their families, social workers and family supports.
Ombudsman for Children Dr Niall Muldoon says government needs to step up its game as families and children are being let down by inaction.
