The Employer Standards for Social Workers in England set out whole system approaches to help develop a working environment where social work practice and social workers can flourish.

The Local Government Workforce Survey provides information on key elements of the workforce within local authorities in England.

The employer standards survey, sometimes known as the ‘health check’, gives a voice to registered social workers, occupational therapists, and non-registered social care professionals and allows them to feel listened to and that their employer is proactive in tackling challenges. The purpose of the survey was to better understand a number of critical questions about their experiences.

The survey was sent to police forces in England and Wales in order to inform on-going national negotiations by providing accurate and up to date information about the composition of the workforce and provide a means for costing claims, offers and their consequences.
