Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion

Mr. Joe McCarthy:

That would be the trend but there are efforts to change it and the sooner recruitment goes back to being local, the better. On recruitment, the previous speaker mentioned CPL, private agencies. That needs to be considered because it is another stress for social workers. I do not believe that most from CPL do not intend, or would not like, to stay with Tusla. That is how they enter into it.
