We see some fantastic social workers moving on to work in the health professions. Why is that sector more attractive? That is the question I am trying to get the witnesses to address. Why do social workers move on from child protection in particular? We admit that is a very difficult role. Excellent social workers are moving on to other Departments. Why is the grass greener on the other side?
