Social workers in Family Service Centres (FSCs) partner individuals and families to address their social needs. FSCs refer to the FSC-Code of Social Work Practice (FSC-CSWP) to classify each case into one of four case groups based on its assessed risk and complexity. Cases with higher risks and complexity of needs are assigned higher CSWP groupings.

From FY2018 to FY2020, the average and median number of cases in each grouping managed by each FSC social worker is in Table 1. We do not have data for the period before FY2018.
