Bradford 20/21
Children's Team
Following Ofsted’s monitoring visit in 2018, Bradford Children’s Services has been following a programme of improvement. As part of this, a workforce analysis identified a need for additional capacity in order to build resilience across the service and stabilise staff numbers, in order to provide continuity for vulnerable children and young people.
Imperium Solutions was appointed to develop a standalone locality service to support increased demand. This service consisted of 1 Service Manager, 3 Team Managers and 18 Level 3 Social Workers. Our teams proposed a new and improved model of working which meant engaging temporary workers on a 12-month fixed-term contract to provide stability and reduce the constant change in case allocation.
