Description
To provide a managed service to undertake Statutory Assessments over a 30 day period, completing 108 stat assessments and associated activities which may include Child Protection investigations.
Swindon Children's social care is working with unprecedented high numbers of children in need, children on a CP plan and Children in Care. Demand is rising and recruitment of permanent staff is very difficult. These are national trends and Swindon Borough Council is no exception. We would like to procure a team of 6 social workers and a team manager, working on 18 assessments each, in order add capacity to the Assessment and Child Protection Team. It is anticipated that this capacity will be increased by providing 6 social workers (min 2 years experience, including child protection) along with an experienced Manager, who would be able "hit the ground running" in a busy unit. The social workers would be expected to complete statutory assessments and then prepare the cases so they are ready for Initial Child Protection Case Conference, transfer to our community teams or refer to other services outside of social care. All cases should have evidence of Management oversight, which will also be provided by the successful tender.
