Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion
Ms Catherine Bond:
The foster care committee is made up of a number of professionals. The foster care committee guidelines are quite prescriptive. The committee includes an area medical officer, a psychologist, a principal social worker and a range of other professionals. Foster carers also sit on the committee. It is quite an onerous body to put oneself before for approval as a foster carer.
