I don’t buy the argument of caps being ‘counterproductive due to varying complexity of cases’. If a social worker has 35 cases it doesn’t matter how skilled they are or how low the needs are, it is an impossible task, similar to a teacher who is given a classroom of 50 pupils.

I think a baseline cap whether it be a classroom or social worker case load is vital.

And the emotional, mental and physical toll this takes.

You are not going to retain good, experienced social workers on a long term basis. Pair that with trying to remove agency workers/reduce hourly rate is just going to contribute to this recipe for disaster.

The impact of covid is continuing to be seen on our children, carers, partner agencies as well as social workers. The demand and trauma is HIGH on everyone.
