The message is still work from home where possible, however some feel it is better for emotional wellbeing and personal development to be in. Some will just use as a touch down between visits etc.

In 2019 and 2020, Devon ranked best for average caseloads against its neighbouring authorities with 13.5* as the average (DfE Children’s Social Work Workforce Census). More experienced Social Workers will have a higher number with it typically around 18 children in our Children and Families and Permanence and Transition teams with recruitment activity taking place to reduce this back to 16.
