The British Union of Social Work Employees met with the NSPCC last week in an attempt to halt the charity's restructuring process and call for reassurances that there will be no redundancies.
BUSWE general secretary Steve Anslow said that the restructuring was being carried out in a "piecemeal" fashion, and that the 500 BUSWE members who worked for the NSPCC wanted it to be handled as a whole.
Staff at the NSPCC received a written response from chief executive Mary Marsh following last week's Community Care article which said the charity was reviewing its services, planning to cut jobs and scaling back its plans for projects (News, page 6, 6 September).
In her response, Marsh told employees that the restructuring was about ensuring that the best organisation structure was in place to deliver a national strategy through local projects.
