Abstract

In 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) commissioned a consortium led by IFF
Research, working with social work academics at Manchester Metropolitan University
and the University of Salford, to conduct a longitudinal study tracking the careers of local
authority child and family social workers in England over five years. The landmark new
study aimed to collect robust evidence on recruitment, retention and progression in child
and family social work by tracking individuals over a five-year period.
In Wave 1, 5,621 local authority child and family social workers took part in the survey,
comprising almost one in six of the population.
1 This report covers the second year of the
research,
