Mr. Mike Allen:

Each child support worker works with approximately 20 children. Some of their time is spent working one to one but, obviously, it is not one to one as such. They work with 20 or so children and they also do group work. In addition, where it is deemed appropriate, a child support worker will stay with a family for a period after the family has moved out of homelessness. It is not the case that the trauma ends with the exit from homelessness and then everyone walks away; it is extended over a longer period.
