Can the witnesses talk about the reform taking place within Tusla at the moment? How are they ensuring the reform within Tusla combining social work and family support includes good knowledge and understanding? Actually, we are protecting our social workers from burnout because now we are expecting more of them. I do not think this reform is being received positively, from what I am hearing; tell me if I am wrong. We are expecting social workers to widen their caseloads and take on more groupings. I hear the word used there - "integrated" - but have we given the training and support the social workers will need? They are now family support practitioners and social workers. We are expecting everything of them. Who slips through the cracks when this is happening?
