I am a social worker in a busy frontline team. One of the young women on my caseload has been placed out of county in a private placement for just over a year. She has complex needs that local provision has been unable to meet. My managers have decided to bring her back into a local authority intensive fostering placement due to the cutbacks, but she does not want to move as she is settled and happy and in school. I don't think this is fair and feel really torn -- what can I do?
