CALLS FOR MORE CASEWORKERS AFTER ALARMING DATA REVEALED

Alarming new data has revealed that only one third of children at risk of serious harm are being seen by a caseworker in New South Wales.

Of the 16 districts across the state – Central Coast ranked the worst – where only 22 per cent of reported vulnerable kids had intervention from a caseworker.

Labor is calling on the state government to reverse spending cuts and speed up the extra recruitment of caseworkers.
