Social Work Health Check 2021
For a number of years we have been running the social work health check in Cornwall to give social work a voice and help us improve our support to social workers. Social workers do one of the most important and demanding jobs in society. We are committed to doing everything in our power to give you what you need to do your job well, in line with the standards for social work employers set out by the Local Government Association.
Your responses help us identify strengths and areas we need to improve. In response to your feedback last year we have taken a number of actions including:
Launching a national SW recruitment campaign in order to recruit Social Workers: www.worklifecornwall.co.uk
Refreshing the social work career and qualification pathway to making it easier for Social Workers to progress, without lowering standards.
Raising the starting salary of NQSW’s
Putting in place international recruitment to make sure we are pursuing all options to fill social work vacancies, with the first successful applicants scheduled to start in Cornwall in early 2022.
Highlighting the importance of confidential, designated team spaces to support and enable the professional, personal and practical supervision and support from managers and colleagues that is so essential to good practice, wellbeing and resilience.
This year the survey contains some similar questions to last year, as this will help to compare how your feedback has changed compared to previous years. We are also particularly interested in what you think about the issues that face social work as a profession nationally, as well as the impact of Covid19, and so would appreciate you answering a few specific questions about these areas at the end of the survey.
First we need to know a little bit about your role, and what part of the organisation you work in. This will not identify individuals, but help our understanding of how things may work differently across the Service.
Thank you for taking part in this, your contribution is really important to help us plan developments for the forthcoming year to support all Social work staff achieve their potential and continue to do amazing work with children and families
