Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion
Alan Farrell (Dublin Fingal, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Would the witnesses be aware of the numbers in this regard? If a child is referred to and reared by a foster family, how many social workers would the foster carer or child go through over the course of the fostering of that child? I am not sure of the length of the average stay, but let us say it is ten years. In the normal course of affairs how many times will the child and the family have to retell the story?
