Workforce Planning Guidance

In March, OHID distributed workforce planning guidance. This guidance was developed following extensive sector engagement including focus groups with staff and people with lived experience, one-to-one conversations with 67 staff and volunteers, and a survey completed by 476 frontline staff and volunteers. The resulting workforce planning guidance was intended to support LAs and their delivery partners in 2023/24 SSMTR grant planning.  

The guidance pack provided key actions for LAs and delivery partners to consider in 2023/24 budgets and plans. It was intended to be used alongside the findings of the first ever national workforce census undertaken in 2022.
