I thank Ms Mannion for that response. Effectively, Tusla is standing still in terms of the number of social workers for 2023. Could she detail the training and supports available to existing social workers? I have heard reports of a high level of burnout and stress. Given the reduction in the number of social workers the work is obviously falling on other people's shoulders. More importantly, could she detail the oversight and monitoring of the work of social workers?
