I think it has been noted that there is a high proportion of children in the care system who transition in Canada.
Will have to look for the source.
Yes, this is true. I think I've read it in some mainstream media sources but it's also what I've observed.
I have some family that are foster carers and they have noticed it too. It's tricky for them though, for one thing it's just not an area they are very knowledgeable about, and so they rely on the guidance from the care system. A lot of the kids they have had are also diagnosed with things like BPD and attachment disorders.
And it's not dissimilar with the social workers, there is an expectation around best practices and they are expected to toe the line. If they want to keep working they have to tread carefully. There is really very little autonomy. If they tick the right boxes and things go wrong they are covered, if they don't and things go wrong, they are screwed.
In some ways social workers are in a worse position than medical doctors, they aren't a high paid group, they can't necessarily afford to lose their jobs, they can't just change their area of practice.
