The number of social workers in low-decile schools and on the frontline has been increased by the National-led Government.
The Social Workers in Schools programme, which covers 285 schools, will be expanded to all decile 1-3 schools. The total number of schools with social work support will increase to 673.
There will also be an increase of 10 per cent in the number of frontline care and protection social workers. This is an additional 96 social workers to support at-risk kids and help give them the protection and security they deserve.
Focusing on vulnerable children is an absolute priority for National. This investment in more social workers will provide more specialist support to help tackle child abuse and neglect.
