[A council in Devon says its social workers
are being pushed to "breaking point"
and unable to carry out normal
safeguarding duties, because of a high number
of migrants being placed in
hotels identifying as minors.]
[Torbay Council says a "high percentage"
of migrants at a hotel in Paignton are
claiming to be under 18, resulting in
two social workers having to spend a
minimum of 37 hours on every case - a process
which could result in around £1m in total costs.
The council's chief executive Anne-Marie Bond
told Sky News the situation is
putting immense pressure on staff.
She said: "As a consequence, we don't have
these social workers available to undertake
their normal safeguarding responsibilities
within the bay, and that is leading to immense
concerns about our ability to deliver statutory
services to the children of Torbay.
"We, and our social workers, are working
incredibly hard to balance these risks,
but we are pushing them to breaking point
and that's my main concern."]
