Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many social workers live in the local authority for which they work.

​​The department does not hold data on the number of child and family social worker visits carried out in person or online in each of the last five years, the average duration of a social worker visit in each of the last five years, or where child and family social workers live.

Social workers provide information about their home and work locations to Social Work England when they join the professional register, and when they renew their registration each year. This information is not verified by Social Work England.
