I don’t suppose anyone knows either what proportion, or how many LAs, have Welfare Rights workers embedded in Social Work teams? We do here in Wolvo and I know Derbyshire does as does Sefton and Hertfordshire.

I’m wondering whether anyone’s kept a tally?

I’m thinking specifically Social Work rather than health.

Cheers

It’s just England. It’s for a lecture I’m giving to the Think Ahead programme; graduate fast track for Social Workers and it’s solely in English institutions.

Nah, Fleetwood where the fishermen need them all year round, however I know Brian’s got that stitched up already.
