Who's who in Children's Services
Dear Medway Council,
1. Please provide an organisational chart of your Childrens Services Department from Director down to Team Managers providing the names of current postholders as appropriate (Director down to Service Manager would be excellent including Heads of Service, Principal Offficers).
2. Please identify who within Children’s Services and your Human Resources Department takes lead responsibility on social worker recruitment and retention.
3. What steps if any have you taken or intend to take to incentivise retention?
Yours faithfully,
James Judge
