Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor Robbie Gilligan:
We would need to check the exact figure, but it was certainly worthwhile. Some work would need to be done on that, but we are talking about a salary, and it has to be a reasonable proportion of a salary. In many disciplines, people are being paid some kind of a trainee salary. Maybe that is where we need to get to, and then build in some kind of requirement that people stay on afterwards.
