Children's Services - Pay review
The paper recommends a salary offer for social work staff and managers within Children’s Services which is competitive to those been offered by neighbouring authorities who are rated good or outstanding and where we are experiencing the loss of our current staff.
Children’s Services also experience staff recruitment and retention issues for Educational Psychologists and Family Support workers and the report recommends that a market force exercise is completed to match salaries for these posts prior to 1 April 2023.
