Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion
Mr. Andrew Murphy:
There was a criminal justice contact for young people leaving residential care as opposed to foster care. One can look at that and compare it with the transition for young people leaving foster care who have a longer transition period. They might get aftercare and they might have that experience at a later time in their lives. Research might be needed.
