Three quarters of child protection social workers have experienced an increased caseload over the last 12 months

73 per cent of social workers say they are now spending significantly less time with vulnerable children and adults than they were 12 months ago. This has come as a result of increased caseloads and more time spent completing administrative tasks. Indeed, three in four child protection social workers are spending 70% or more of their time doing admin work rather than working with service users.

Note: It's their own damn fault you know.
