Summary
Reverse new DfE rules that cap agency social worker pay, restrict movement, and impose conditions that push workers into permanent local authority roles. Sector bodies have raised concerns about limited consultation, the lack of a full, published impact assessment, and potential procedural issues in the development of the reforms. Community Care reports widespread worry among social workers, and BASW has noted concerns that the changes may worsen recruitment, retention and service stability. The reforms also target only social workers.
