“It’s not a cover-up. I’ve said we’ll talk privately to the chair'
Leeds’ children’s services has refused to comment on claims social workers have filed a formal grievance over high workloads.
Speaking at the meeting, Councillor Stephenson suggested frontline social workers were handling an average of 40 caseloads each. “But what we have said and what we’ve acknowledged with Ofsted is that in some cases the caseloads for social workers are not where we want them to be and that’s a national challenge. It’s a challenge that’s being faced by every local authority.”
When Councillor Stephenson repeated the question, Councillor Venner said: “Julie has been very clear here that it’s not appropriate to comment on confidential HR maters and we won’t comment further,” before adding that the scrutiny board chair could be “briefed in private” over issues happening within the service.
