The Portfolio Holder introduced a report reviewing the impact of the recruitment and retention strategy and funding arrangement, agreed by the Council’s Executive on 3rd February 2010.  Designed to stabilise the staffing within two front line teams of Children’s Social Care Services, the strategy consisted of a number of elements including an enhanced remuneration package, a ‘grow our own’ social worker scheme and the use of overseas recruitment.

 

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to endorse the continued use of the strategy for recruitment and retention of children’s social work staff for 2012/13 and 2013/14.
