OSWEGO COUNTY — The Child Protection Advisory Council’s Caseworker Recruitment/Retention Task Force has come up with recommendations after having a focus group with several caseworkers from the Department of Social Services, and at Thursday’s meeting, the full council was looking for feedback from its members.
Most of the recommendations stemmed from the caseworkers wanting to feel valued and supported by the department, the county and the general public.
