Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion

Mr. Andrew Murphy:

It would always be related to the care order for the child, be it a voluntary care order, interim care order or full care order. That will dictate the level and the foster carer's capacity to be able to make a decision around those issues as well. It is more nuanced than that.
