Ms Kate Duggan:
Yes, throughout the country. It is very important that we highlight that somebody not having an allocated social worker does not mean they are not being provided with a service. We also have a large majority of children, young people and families who are accessing our family support services. They do not require the intervention of a social worker child protection response. What they are receiving are family supports and early intervention services.
