Description

Expressions of interest are sought for a new national longitudinal study of local authority child and family social workers in England.

It will aim to establish a much stronger understanding of recruitment issues, career pathways, choices and decisions and to investigate how these differ according to demographics, entry route, region, LA types, LA performance and local labour markets.

Full details are provided in the attachment. Expressions of interest submitted must be no more than 1,000 words.
