This is a recording of a CRCF seminar which launched findings from a major research project. The presentation outlines a theory of change which aims to improve the retention of social care professionals working in local authorities. We outline a blueprint for intervention which focuses on career-stage specific support for social care professionals. This theory of change draws on two major research studies. Study one involved 58 children’s social workers from 11 local authorities in England. From this, we developed the concept of Critical Career Episodes (‘stay or go’ moments where workers are vulnerable to exit) and identified a three-factor career pathway model (mobility, specialism and generativity) supporting retention. Study two consisted of 11 workshops with 51 health and social care professionals, across 2 local authorities in England including: adult and children’s social workers, Approved Mental Health Professionals and Occupational Therapists. In consultation with professionals, we refined the original model and developed a theory of change to inform workforce development.
