Barnet social workers vote on whether they wish to donate £78 to Barnet Council

Barnet Council have decreed that social workers (Adults & Children’s) will have to pay the increased social work accreditation (£78) to the new quango called Health Professions Council (HPC). When social workers registration began the branch negotiated a deal whereby the Council paid the registration fees.  The branch position is to oppose and demand the Council continue to honour its contractual commitment to reimburse staff their registration fees.

The branch needs has organised a meeting on Wednesday 12 September from 12 –1pmin training room 6 Building 2, NLBP for ALL social workers across Children’s and Adults to gauge the views of our members. We will then conduct an inline ballot of their views before reporting back to the Council
