In reply to Michelle. I whole hearted agree, if they treated workers better people wouldn't leave. I became an agency worker after being permanent for 27 years and 7 months. I took constructive dismissal from my then employer because of bullying, intimidation, racism and sexual harassment. I ended up with PTSD dues to work related stress. I took 2 years out to heal then returned as an agency social worker because I felt that it gave me more autonomy however you're not treated any better because they use and abuse you, give you a bad reference if they're unhappy with you for any reason.

In reply to Michelle. Don't know where you have been, but social work salaries are definitely NOT low. A PSO in the probation service is only paid £26-29k p.a (and they gave risks going HV too). Social workers do not work at the speed and fast paced capacity that are required of other jobs either, which are on half the salary at £25-7k (know this from experience) Stop bleeting poor you and just get on with the job. As for funding, social workers think money grows on trees. They waste so much money on non essential resources. And some clients know this and manipulate the social worker in order to get 'free' things out of them.Social services is a MASSIVE drain of public resources and is quite simply unsustainable. Things have to change. No more time for the idealistic, left wing, wish wsh that, tbh, isn't all that effective in long term in the real world for these families and wastes a lot of money social workers give little thought about.

Well it’s about time. Let’s not beat about the bush here, most do it for the money and less responsibility. Social workers are paid well enough when directly employed by local authorities, of they are committed to social work, then need to commit to permanent positions. If they’re in it for the money and an easier ride, they can go elsewhere.

Why is it that these rules only will apply to social workers and Team Managers.

If you want a stable workforce it should start from the top – if this comes into legislation you’re saying it is fine for a Director/Head of Service to work as interims on £500-800pd where ever they want with no restriction on location or rate, but not a social worker.

It should be one rule for all.

I guess turkey’s don’t vote for Christmas.

Gosh I’m so glad I’m leaving this profession, agency workers are being scapegoated. Social Workers salary is low, we are always working outside of our ours, we are at risk during home visits, case loads are not manageable, families are far more complex than they have ever been, most environments promote a toxic culture that is based on statistics and not the families we want to support. Getting funding for basic things like a bed or bus pass takes how many forms hoops and negotiations.

Staff wellbeing and happiness is not a priority. I could go on. Shame on the government.

Part of the problem is that many of these Directors have not worked with actual children and families for many years and it’s very likely that is also the case for many in management. It’s vital that everybody works with children from the top down and then they’ll have an idea about what that work is actually like. Absolutely agree with the three year post qualifying rule but generally I see this as a crude cost cutting measure using cartels of local authorities to arrange lower pay strategies for agency workers who form the core of highly experienced workers in the profession.
Alienating this highly skilled group seems to me to be highly unproductive.
This is the same ADCS that has created over the last decades a toxic performance obsessed culture mired in hierarchy and endless measurement.
In essence social work is a practice and we should all be practitioners extending radical kindness to each other and the vulnerable we work with. Enough of this thinking that endless and pointless meetings and infinite assessments are the answer to anything. As for the agency workers, I guess they’ll just choose to go surfing! Respect to all!

In reply to Roy Leach. All vulnerable people should have the right to be treated with respect and dignity by trained and understanding staff.I also think that all care for vulnerable people should be provided by not for profit providers with appropriate levels of accountability and transparency.

Perhaps it might be reasonable to consider banning the use of agency staff (including doctors) in all health and social care settings and roles – in a phased and publicised way. The public purse is being publicly and significantly robbed. Agency staff will probably not seek alternative careers, so they’re highly likely to remain in the workforce – give reasonable time for the transition and ban private agencies entirely. However, there is a need and scope for a capped-cost agency system, which should be managed and governed at affordable prices set by local or national government.

I suggest the Directors look at the culture they have created within childtens services, to make going permanent more attractive.
Agency work is not solely about pay, it gives workers flexibilty to get out quick if caseloads too high, lack supervision, heavy handed management, micro managing etc.
I also suggesy Agencies be required keep a shared data base to prevent the few social workers who get poor references switching agency and hiding fact they worked at such-and-such place, having a “career break”

What about the young voiceless vulnerable adults that have fallen through the cracks in adult social care now?
Still around but tucked away being supported by untrained agency workers hiding behind a private care provider and funded by LA.My heart broke a while ago.
