In reply to S. Why is 8 weeks notice out of touch? Isn't it more beneficial for children and families to have a proper transition between workers rather than just learning with a few days that they are having a change or worker?

Should the question be why agency social workers hand in their notice? If they do not feel valued, not a part of a team, but only present to manage unrealistic caseloads and timescale, or feel unsupported and unprotected ask yourself why anyone would remain in such an environment.

Should the question also be why some team managers end a worker’s contract or is the worker automatically assumed to be the problem/issue from the manager’s point of view? Are these questions ever asked? Agency workers work hard but are undervalued, where do they go for support? when some environments can be very unfriendly places to work.

One example. I worked somewhere for three weeks I never met the team once either in person or via teams, I never had access to teams, and if I needed support the attitude was “It was not their role”

Two times per week all teams were required to be in the office, if the team I was assigned to was in the office they never made themselves visible or were never present in the office and yes I attempted to locate the team several times but never found them before leaving.

Agency work is not a secure form of employment. Agency staff have to deal with all the issues described, and little regard or respect is afforded to agency workers. It is usually the manager who ends your contract, and you are expected to work on cases that are out of timescale therefore you are open to being blamed for decisions made before you were allocated the case.

It is not the agency staff who are the issue. It is a far more wider issue, without agency staff local authorities would struggle even more than they are now.

So will the same rule apply in the nhs where living consultants earn thousands per shift.

Having been both a locum and a permanent social worker, what has to be appreciated is as a locum you dont get sick pay, holiday pay or bank holidays, you have to hit the ground and know all the different systems that are used and have experience. The last local authority and team I was in was 80% locums as most of the permanent workers left due to the stress of high waiting lists, poor management and more senior management not being supportive and aware of the stresses from lack of resources and more vulnerable people requring adult social care. I was also in a temporary post of nearly 4 years and applied for the role I did for over 2 years and was passed over for someone whose face fitted better and didnt have my experience and this has an impact on you as a worker. What has happened in social work is not new and doesnt just apply to social care, its all public sector roles. Lack of investment in support and resources causing more stress and now that many are being CQC inspected this has further increased this stress and focusing time on not showing the true picture. There are high vacancies and lack of care for adult social care and the pressure being faced is being filled by locums who then get blamed ( personal experience if this) so whats the way forward. Many local authorities would not have workers, I agree that agencies and project teams costs and charges need regulations and more on a level playing field and the abuse of IR35, no one should be paid £82k, that is obscene, however better pay scales and rewarding experience and not having to do a course for progression and more focused support would also encourage people to stay in a post permanently.

There are lots of common misconceptions here. A locum who gets paid 45 pound per hour does not get this in their pocket. By the time you have paid agency fee. Employers and employees national insurance. Weekly fee for umbrella and tax you probably come out with around 780 per week. If you are coming out with 1000 plus. HMRC will catch you up as this is tax avoidance! You cannot impose an 8 week notice period on locum unless you are prepared to give them employee rights. You can’t sat you have to give notice however I can end your contract whenever I want. Most locum do t do it for the money these days it around flexibility. Not getting involved in local authority politics and retaining some level of autonomy. There are a few locums who give us a bad name but most are very hard working !

In reply to Sue Griffiths. You do, I suggest you look at and understand exactly what AWR is after your qualifying 13 weeks in placement

In reply to Sue Griffiths. That’s the choice the locum makes. If you want to be paid more change jobs. Go work on the stock exchange. As for project SWs they get paid a fortune one recently told me they were getting 82,000 py for consultancy work - been qualified 5 years. Shameful when there are limited services to support the people we serve.

What a load of s***. I would 100% leave the profession if this happened. We’re already massively underpaid and overworked.

Social workers have no appreciation at all for what we do day to day. This is yet another insult injury. Councils cannot function without locum social workers so trying to force their hands is very careless and stupid. Furthermore, whoever suggested that locums should give 8 weeks notice is clearly out of touch with reality and getting paid far too much

What a crock of ….. What will changes achieve now? Isn’t this a waste of all that money paid for Joshua McAllister to do his review? Would it not be more sensible to simply work on better permanent wages to even the system up and encourage the move to permanent jobs? And fairer to all who do the same job for less.
