STAFF OF SCOTTISH LOCAL AUTHORITY SOCIAL WORK SERVICES, 2003
1. Introduction
1.1 This bulletin forms part of a series of publications which provides information on staffing of Scottish Local Authority Social Work Services. It contains the results of a staffing census held across all Scottish local authorities on 6 October 2003.
1.2 The arrangements used by local authorities to provide social work services are changing. In addition to changes in the organisational structure of services (resulting in the merging of social work with other local authority departments in some areas), many councils are increasingly contracting out services and/or developing partnerships with neighbouring councils and other organisations. The staff numbers in this bulletin, therefore, should not be taken as a strict measure of the full services provided by each authority.
