Scottish Social Services Workforce Data
Announcements
Publication of 2020 local authority post type data
We are pleased to announce that the breakdown of local authority post types for 2020 was published on Thursday 9th September. 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.
Publication of the 2020 Mental Health Officers Report
We are pleased to announce that the Mental Health Officers (Scotland) 2020 Report was published on Tuesday 17th August 2021 (available here.)
