Funding 'to help social care problem'
BBC Radio Devon
More than £700,000 is to be invested by Devon County Council to make the county a more attractive option for social workers.
Devon County Council’s cabinet heard on Wednesday that there was an urgent need to address the shortage of qualified social workers.
It followed Ofsted inspectors concluding earlier this year that children’s social care services in Devon were inadequate having identified ‘serious failures’.
They identified that some children who have suffered chronic neglect and emotional abuse are being left with families for too long.
