Nicola Curley, Chair of the ADCS Workforce Policy Committee, said:
“There are workforce challenges right across social work and the Department for Education need to bear that in mind as they think about supporting the next generation of social work leaders. This short notice ending of funding for the Frontline Pathways Programme leaves a gap in the support and development opportunities available to future leaders, and so it will be important that the Department works with the sector on what comes next to minimise any short term disruption to the workforce development offer. We would welcome the Department considering this holistically across the whole of the workforce.”
