An effective workforce plan is essential to ensuring that children’s social care services have the right people, skills, experience and management arrangements to meet the needs of children and young people. For Children’s Homes and Supported Accommodation providers, workforce planning is closely connected to the quality and consistency of care and support, safeguarding, staff development, organisational resilience and regulatory compliance. However, workforce plans can sometimes become static documents that describe staffing arrangements without demonstrating how the workforce is developed, supported and reviewed.
