The Branch attended a what can only be described as a crisis meeting of Cambs County Social Workers earlier on in the year.  This was a meeting Unison had not received an official invite to attend.  It quickly became apparent why.  Several Social Worker's contacted the Branch afterwards and it was agreed to follow up on these issues. 
The Branch wants to hear from you on the following issues:
Work Load 
Pay including the latest pay award
Working hours
Breaks
Overtime
Email: unison@cambridgeshire.gov.uk with the subject heading 'Social Work issues' and please mention in the body of the text the webpage.
