Does anyone know where our Chief Social Worker for England (Children & Families) Isabelle Trowler is?

She was a member of the design group for the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care (2022) led by Josh MacAlister and she used to regularly comment on a number of issues via twitter and yet she has not posted anything since September 2022. I assume that she must still be in her role?

Weird to see host of issues happen in world of children social work and not see any comment from her.

Again, bringing in all the wrong changes, not listening to staff or actual social workers….agency staff will leave to pursue other careers not fill the gaps, instead we will be left with more vacancies and even higher caseloads. I do not know a single Children’s Social Worker who feels valued, not for their expertise or the amount of time working over our salaried hours (unpaid) which would never be seen in the private sector.

Comment on the new data by DFE regarding agency SW. tue credit for the analysis goes to someone called Toni B ( locum SW) . What it clearly evidence is the sensationalist in tue media jumping on the government trumpets to demonise locum SW. Ignoring wider structural issues and the unnecessary agenda of Mr Crocker. If we focusing on pay let’s have it out then for all to see. This is obviously besides their amazing bonuses and gallantry titles with lovely pensions to look forward to

“ According to the latest TaxPayers’ Alliance’s Town Hall Rich List, 18 HCC employees were paid more than £100,000 in 2017/18.

Among those there were chief executive John Coughlan with £216,195; deputy chief executive and director of corporate resources Carolyn Williamson with £180,019 and director of children’s services Steve Crocker and director of adults’ health and care Graham Allen who both earned £153,015.

The director of community, culture and business services and the director of economy, trasport and environment, whose names were not disclosed, were both paid £144,783 followed by the director of transformation and governance with £131,361.

And finally the analysis of how many SW actually enter into locum work:

“ So out of the 5400 that left the profession in 2022 only 800 (14.8%) moved over to Locum work.

Meaning 85% (4600) walked away from social work altogether.

12.7% of the workforce left in 2022.

Vacancies up to 7900 (up by 21%)aka almost a quarter of posts are vacant.

Just sharing as there’s been a lot of talk relating to the ‘capping of Locum rates’ where it is being banded around that permanent workers are leaving to become Locum workers…. This is not reflected in the quantative data from 2022 or previous years. ”

How is this surprising? Frontline Social workers are completely burned out, most working until bedtime and most wknds to meet the demands of their caseload.
Permanent staff are underpaid and the staff shortage and financial cuts has placed even more strain on the services.
Most local authorities now demand their social workers to undertake large pieces of work that would previously be deleted to specialist teams or external assessors.
It is only going to get worse im afraid.
In my time i have seen newly qualified sws not even being able to stick around for the one year of their ASYE, giving notice before the end of the program due to stress l, burnout and lack of support.

Is this any surprise given the lack of financial investment?
