Cork social workers hamstrung by 'unmanageable' case load

Tusla said it had acted on a compliance plan.
Social work teams in Tusla Cork were overstretched and senior social workers complained of "unmanageable case loads", a new report by health watchdog Hiqa has found.
The inspection report on the child protection and welfare service operated by the Child and Family Agency (Tusla) in the Cork service area involved the review of 69 children’s case files as well as a review of policies and procedures.
