Legal Justification

The IFD/MASH is holding a number of vacancies and is unable to meet its statutory deadlines for referral and assessment. The locum social workers are required as an interim arrangement whilst permanent recruitment for the positions is completed as part of the Family First model. It has not been possible to recruit the volume and quality of staff required through our internal recruitment partners, and running a competitive tender procedure would jeopardise our ability to perform at the statutory level required in a timely manner.
