Child welfare services data      '16

As you can see the county noted its own problems of too many clients and too little staffing. Fiscally the department always needs more funding. They also strive to improve services for older youth who are in need of support services and long term planning to prevent homelessness and reentry into the system. The department also seeks to increase the quality of partnership between foster parents and agency workers. This link proves to valuable as caregivers often report feeling left out or not as supported as the parents or children when they are the ones providing most of the in home care for the child. Another note is that the salary of the average social worker is around 70K per year which has lead to many workers protesting below average salaries given the amount of work they perform. .
