Public Accounts Committee

Tusla - Financial Statements 2016

Mr. Fred McBride:

We do not have more people leaving. It comes back to the point about retention. The Chairman is correct about this, and how we put in specific measures to retain staff, particularly front-line staff and front-line social workers. With social workers, we tend to recruit in the last quarter because new graduates come out of colleges in September or October. We see a spike in activity in the last quarter. This is why we have 304 staff at various grades in the process.
