N2 - Commissioned as part of the Department of Health’s ‘Social Care Workforce Research Initiative’, this research explored what progress is being made toward achieving the policy goal that by 2020 social care employers will no longer need to rely on temporary agency staff to cover tasks that would be normally carried out by a permanent social worker (DfES/DH 2006). The study also explored safeguarding issues and why some social workers and other social care staff chose to leave permanent employment to become ‘agency workers’ and what, if anything, might tempt them back into permanent employment.
