Description
It’s time to talk about caseloads… Session Host: Yvette Burgess, Director, Housing Support Enabling Unit
Session Guests: Dr Emma Miller, Senior Research Fellow, University of Strathclyde Gary Meek, Chief Executive, Blue Triangle
Session Outline: Frontline services are being backed into a tight corner with greater demand on time, a pressured funding environment and challenges recruiting and keeping great staff being experienced right across adult social care. Caseload numbers are often not protected; despite the impact this has on people and those that support them, on the quality of service received – and on the time we are willing to afford people, and the stark message that sends. This breakout session will learn about research that proposed limits on caseloads for social workers – and explore what we should do now, and next, to keep finding solutions to this burning issue
