Brandon Nichols discusses changes in his two years as the director of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
The NBC4 I-Team reviewed data about social workers, caseloads and child deaths in Los Angeles County and sat down with the director to discuss the status of the largest child welfare system in the country.Since becoming the director of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services two years back, Brandon Nichols says he has been using data and information gathered from social workers and others who work with families to help develop programs.
"I will say caseloads are lower in the Antelope Valley than they've ever been. There are more social workers in the Antelope Valley than we've ever had. But it still is an area that is under-resourced, and it's an area that receives our attention especially,” Nichols said.
