Dear Jim Ward,

 

Thank you for your recent request for information under the Freedom of
Information (FOI) Act 2000.

We are now in a position to respond to your request.

Your request:

1. How many qualified Social Workers did you have working on a temporary
(Agency) basis on 31st March 2014?      

 

2. What was your total expenditure on temporary (Agency) Social workers
supplied through a recruitment agency in the financial year 2013-14?

Our response:

1.  The Trust does not currently employ Social Workers in a “temporary
(Agency)” capacity.  Social workers work onsite as part of a partnership
arrangement with Brighton and Hove City Council who employ these staff. 
You will therefore need to contact Brighton and Hove City Council for the
information you are requesting, as this information is not held by the
Trust and is therefore not available from us under the Freedom of
Information Act.

 

2.  £0.00 (nil)

Pease note that any information provided by this Trust is for your
personal use and not for resale or use for profit in any way under the
Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005.
