Due to Commonwealth Government funding cuts many child protection alerts are going unallocated

and many Case Workers in the child protection system feel overwhelmed by their respective

caseloads. Judith supervises workers from differing cultural and social backgrounds. Bob is hearing

impaired, and Di identifies as an Australian Torres Strait Islander.

Judith has recently noticed how a lot of workers are beginning to present at work both tired and

worn out. Plus, many of them are constantly catching colds and the flu. Judith is beginning to think

that maybe these are indicators that they are all suffering from stress due to their ever- increasing

workloads. As site Manger Judith wants to assist all her staff to both identify and manage their

respective stress levels.
