Recruitment and retention in Social Services
The Committee asked for the current number of social services vacancies. It made four recommendations: that the report return to the Committee in one year with benchmarking data; that work continue to encourage a more gender-balanced workforce; that schools be engaged to promote social care work as a career; and that work with other councils continue towards a relief pool of staff.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
