We have already seen reduced contacts, referrals, and a big reduction in the number of assessments which do not lead to ongoing work. "The breadth and depth of circumstances you experience being a fast social worker means there is scope to either develop a specialism and pursue something you are interested in, or alternatively have a varied caseload. The FAST model means that you are able to work with children from the point of referral onward meaning you have the opportunity to work long term with families and form strong and consistent relationships with the children you work with.
