Anything that can be done to amend this code to relieve the administrative burden on local departments of social services. Too many of our social workers spend time doing paperwork instead of social work and they did not study policy administration, they studied social work. At the same time there has been a critical consideration of inconsistent followthrough of potential reports of child abuse across jurisdictions. Having a very clear standard for what reports require follow up and making the administration of those followup less paperwork intensive may serve to increase follow up on child abuse reports rather than findings of no issue. However, simply requiring local departments to follow up on more reports or a certain percentage of reports without also increasing funding or decreasing the administrative burden on departments will not ve fruitful.
