What the petition asks
Currently caseworkers can deny making inappropriate comments, and there’s no way to uphold a complaint as a result. Requiring these meeting to be recorded will provide accurate evidence against the caseworker and likewise the caseworker would be supported if a vexatious case was made against them.
Most importantly, this will help ensure that correct decisions are made about the care of our children.
