Number of children and family social workers leaving during year (FTE) (18139) Metric type
- Help text
- This data is from the Department for Educations Children's social work workforce release.
The release provides information about children and family social workers and agency social workers employed in local authorities.
The information is based on data collected in an annual census from local authorities in England. The latest collection covers the year from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2021.
Children and family social workers are social workers registered with Social Work England (SWE) working in a local authority in a children’s services department or, if working in an authority where the services are joined up, a social worker that works primarily on children and families work. Figures are shown on both a full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount basis.
This Metric is the Number of children and family social workers leaving during year (FTE).
Leavers are social workers who left a social worker post at a local authority in the year ending 30 September. This includes social workers who are staying at a local authority, but moving to a non-child and family role, for example moving to adult social care, and those continuing as children’s social workers but moving to a different local authority.
Leavers also include social workers who have begun a career break, those seconded out of an organisation or those leaving the profession altogether. They do not include social workers who have started maternity or sick leave.
A move or promotion from one children’s social work position to another children’s social work position within a local authority is not counted as a leaver, unless the social worker left employment at the local authority in between these roles.
