Some 60 social workers left Tusla between January 2021 and July 2021. Ten went on career breaks, 20 went to new job opportunities, 13 went to other health agencies and more than 21 cited personal reasons for leaving. Around 33 social workers moved on to other jobs. It is obviously very challenging work.
