Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Carmel Halton:
In the late 1990s, there was a similar problem in recruiting social workers. The Chair asked earlier whether we are providing for the demand. In the late 1990s, when there was a demand for social workers and we were not able to meet the demand in the educational establishments and universities, a service level agreement was put in place which worked extraordinarily well across all of the universities.
