Ms Kate Duggan:
At present, 88% of our children in care have an allocated social worker. This means 12% of our children in care do not have an allocated social worker. They are active on duty so they are reviewed by a social care worker. They are seen for assessment. Home visits are undertaken. In terms of a requirement with the regulations to have a named dedicated social worker, they do not have that.
