Mr. Fred McBride:

We are recruiting social workers across the board but, as the chief operations officer said, we are trying to prioritise getting social workers, and experienced social workers where possible, into our front door for the initial assessment and decision about whether or a child or a family needs ongoing support from a social worker or where it can been diverted to family support. That is where we are prioritising our recruitment. We have not broken down the numbers coming in the door by team, but we are recruiting social workers across the system - intake, which by its name and nature is where initial referrals are made, child protection, children in care and foster care support social workers.
