IS not the action like closing the stable door once the horse has bolted? Does a child have to die before these cases are spotted?
One of the main problems is that to get a job in social services all you need is a degree. This does not qualify to do this type of work.
The world works on a balance of ego-drive and empathy. If you do not get this balance right you fail.
I would suggest the most qualified people to do this work are people who have suffered the same or similar situations.
