Dear Leicester City Council,

I wish to make a FOI request for the below Information please

How many permanent vacancies do you have for qualified social workers across both children and adults services and as a percentage would be useful

How many agency ' social worker' staff do you currently have for children and adults services and what percentage is this against your FTE roles

Lastly, If known do you know what was spent on agency social workers in 2024 again in both children and adults services

Reason for the request is to put together a cost analysis to show the significant cost savings against hiring from overseas to reduce agency staff due to the national shortage in the UK

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Halls
