Social Workers: Recruitment

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to encourage, through organised career structures, more people to enter roles in the care sector.

Answer

We are developing a Care Workforce Pathway, which will set out the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to work in adult social care, as well as a clear career structure for the workforce. We intend to publish the first part of the pathway, focused on staff in direct care roles, in autumn 2023.
