As at 6 September 2019
(a) 389
(b) Please refer to tabled paper 3076, tabled on 19 September 2019.
Children in care monitored cases are children in care who are settled with their needs being met. These are monitored regularly by the Team Leader and or District Director. If concerns are raised for any child on the children in care monitored cases list, an urgent review is undertaken by senior staff and immediate allocation to a Case Worker occurs.
Recruitment of an additional 7.5FTE is underway. It is anticipated that these additional positions will assist in reducing the number of cases on the monitored list.
