Notes:
(1) In 2008 data for Dumfries and Galloway was not provided. Data for 2007 has been used as this was the most recent available.
(2) All social work services staff (excluding social workers) can register under more than one category with the SSSC. As a result the table can total to more than 56,881.
(3) Staff numbers may fluctuate over time as a result of various factors, including changes in the way services are provided and changes in the numbers of vacancies. Please refer to Background Notes for further information.
