Longitudinal study of local authority child and family social workers (wave 1)

Abstract

In 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) commissioned a consortium led by IFF \nResearch, working with social work academics at Manchester Metropolitan University \nand the University of Salford, to conduct a major new longitudinal study tracking the \ncareers of local authority child and family social workers in England over five years. The \naim of this landmark new study is to collect robust evidence on recruitment, retention and \nprogression in child and family social work. In particular it aims to establish a much \nstronger understanding of child and family social work recruitment issues, career \npathways, choices and decisions and how these differ across different individual, job and \nemployer characteristics. \nThis report covers the first year (Wave 1) of the survey and follow-up qualitative \nresearch, which was conducted between November 2018 and March 2019.
