We are pleased to announce that the breakdown of LA post types for 2017 was published on Friday 26th October (available here). The spreadsheets present headcount and WTE (whole time equivalent) data of all filled posts in local authority social work services where those employed do not work in a registered care service. This therefore covers staff working primarily in field social work services.
