Here at Community Care towers we've been aware that social workers have been seeing their salaries squeezed left right and centre for some time.

Inflation is currently running at 5% but many social workers will be lucky to retain their current salary level, let alone receive a cost of living increase to match inflation. In some pockets of the country people are even being asked to take pay cuts.

We're trying to quantify how this is impacting on social workers. So, if you're a social worker (remember that's a protected title) please take ten minutes to complete our survey and let us know how you're doing.
