Neighbourhood & Community Services

Neighbourhood & Community Services October – December 2012

Ref: FOI/NCS/0056 Request: We have received an FOI request asking a number of questions in relation to social workers over the last three years, primarily it relates to staffing numbers, turnover and average salaries.

Although we can obtain the bulk of the answers from the HR/payroll there is one question that we are unable to provide and answer to and that is covered below in Question 2) B - The mean number of cases per worker for the above.

2) a. The number of social workers employed by the local authority on 1st April 2010, 2011, 2012 and the latest available data (or another date in these years if you cannot provide these);

b. The mean number of cases per worker for the above;

c. The total number of social workers who entered the employment of the local authority in the fiscal years 2010/11, 2011/12, and 2012/13 to the latest available data.

d. The total number of social workers who left the employment of the local authority in the fiscal years 2010/11, 2011/12, and 2012/13 to the latest available data.

With that in mind would you be able to provide assistance in let us know the mean number of cases for Children’s and Adult Services, ideally for the three years request or something more current if that is not possible. I was not looking for this on an individual basis and would happily take a total for the service area or even by division. If this is not something the service are willing to provide then I would instead like to have a reason for this that I can place in the response in lieu of the average number of cases.

Response: 2010/11: 129.34 full time equivalent. 2011/12: 140 full time equivalent. We reported the following number of service packages in RAP 2010/11: 7528 2011/12: 7642 Therefore one approximation of caseloads per social worker could be: 2010/11: 7528 / 129.34 = 58.2 cases per social worker 2011/12: 7642 / 140 = 54.6 cases per social worker This does not include agency workers, so the denominator in the above calculations is likely to be slightly higher in reality, giving a slightly lower number of cases per worker. I don't know if you could give an estimate of agency figures, or if we just use our HR data as an approximate. We don't have the 2012-13 RAP figures yet so not sure we could give a value for this.

Ref: FOI/NCS/0069 Request: I am a Masters Student at Edge Hill University , studying MA Voluntary and Third Sector Management. I am also a Warrington resident. As part of my research project I am 'Mapping Black, Minority and Ethnic (BME) Community Capacity' in areas of North West, such as Warrington. Therefore, I was wondering ,if possible , if you could kindly provide statistics of how many BME community groups operate in Warrington (unincorporated, incorporated, social enterprise, small community groups, steering groups etc ).

Response: I am writing in response to your request received on 5th December 12 for information about Statistics of how many BME community groups operate in Warrington (unincorporated, social enterprise, small community groups, steering groups etc). We are unable to determine the exact number of BME community groups operating within the Warrington area as we do not directly fund or engage with all BME groups. Warrington Borough Council actively promotes community cohesion and equality of access to services, programmes and projects through the provision of events open to all within communities. We have a designated BME Community Development Officer who supports us to continually observe emerging communities to ensure we are able to engage with and meet the needs of those communities; we can confirm that 13 new BME community groups have been established over the last twelve months in response to new BME communities that have flourished i.e. Oriental and Russian. We also work closely with Warrington Ethnic Communities Association (WECA) to engage with our BME communities. WECA acts as an umbrella organisation for faith and BME communities. WECA administrate small grants to local BME groups and represent BME communities at groups, boards and other decision making panels. For more information our BME Community Development Officer can be contacted on 01925 638863 or alternatively you can contact WECA via Mr Tatla (Secretary) on 01925 419495.
