  • shared the quantitative and qualitative findings of the project
  • provided an overview of the frontline worker perspective
  • celebrated the work of the social services workforce
  • challenged people to consider what needs to happen in order to maintain a competent, confident and valued workforce

We spoke to a number of people about the findings
