What is the career path for a social worker within Tusla once they are hired? What is the ratio of management to social workers within Tusla? If Ms Dunnion does not have those figures, we will have to try to get them. Have any studies been done on people who have gone through the interview process or how long does it take? Ms Dunnion mentioned the bureaucracy. Is there a flowchart available that shows the end-to-end recruitment process and where candidates fall out if they leave the process? Is the recruitment process driven locally or is it a panel format, similar to that in the HSE?
