Dear Eleanor Evans

Thank you for your email of the 22 July 2024  where you requested information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The information you requested is enclosed.

1. Please could you provide me with detail of your recruitment agency spend for 2022 and 2023, including the agencies in which you have engaged.

The total recruitment agency spend for 2022 and 2023 was £6,052,272.07 and £6,884,859.81 respectively.

Our main agency supplier is Reed and we have engaged workers through providers on our Social Work Framework, which includes Paradigm, Liquid Personnel and Personnel Leasing.

2. Please could you also provide me with a current organisation chart for Technology and Human Resources, or any information that you could provide me with regarding these teams.

The organisation charts requested have been attached along with this email.
