Download or view the report of the Social Work Issues Group survey of social work ‘paraprofessional’ staff in local authorities. The survey was carried out earlier this year to support organising work.
Some very interesting reading, it confirms the shift in workload to paraprofessionals to fill the gap in qualified social workers. It also reports on issues including significant pay and grading inequities and the proposed expansion of the regulated workforce to include this group, which the SSSC is currently scoping.The report is also online here Survey Report on Social Work Paraprofessionals – UNISON Scotland (unison-scotland.org)
