Committee on Drugs Use

Kinship Care and Care: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Gary Broderick:

To what Deputy Graves said, I will add our voice to not necessarily feeling heard in the community. I thank her for raising that.

I also acknowledge the work of the Probation Service. We can knock people, but social workers are often probation officers. Probation officers tend to have a positive relationship with the women we work with. I will mark the fact that Ms Rachel Lillis and her team's work on the women's strategy has been really helpful. Maybe something similar could be done within social work, if that has not been done already.
