COMMENTS: This is a significant reduction and therefore much better than the previous year. This year, we have seen more starters than leavers and the figure is far better than the previous national average of 17%. Recruitment and retention of experienced staff does remain a challenge, however, and the majority of social workers have come through our own successful academy.
