Mr. Jim Gibson:

I do not have the exact number but we can get it for the Deputy. The lion's share of social work posts are in the child protection and welfare area. With the developments within the child protection and welfare service with our national approach to practice and the strategy, many social workers prefer to work within that area with those initiatives. It is quite important. With duty and intake teams, many social workers like to return because our service delivery framework is set up in such a way as to try to minimise the number of social workers a child will have in his or her lifetime through his or her journey and care, so children move to the children and care team quite quickly. The children and care team now manages all the court appearances, which can be quite intensive for staff.
