Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Recruitment and Retention of Social Workers: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor Michelle Norris:

I note that the Government has taken action to address the placement costs in other professions, for instance, student teachers. Equity would demand that student social workers would be treated similarly.
