workloads

["Yve Repin" <Yve_Repin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i'm seeking resources / references which address the question of size of
caseload for cps workers.  the union which represents cps workers in   the dept
of community services in new south wales, australia, has deemed that maximum
caseload should be 12.  this seems simplistic, since the amount of work for any
case will vary depending on the degree and nature of the abuse, size of family,
age of children, social supports, etc etc.  any leads would be appreciated.
