Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion
Mr. Andrew Murphy:
While they may not have an allocated social worker, carers have access to a team leader so they will always be able to contact somebody in Tusla. They have access to a team leader or a principal social worker in the area and will be able to access information. They will not be without any contact. They will always have a contact with somebody.
