<p>According to information supplied to the department by local councils, the number
of child and family social workers has not decreased and therefore no such assessments
have been made. Information on the number of children’s social workers in local councils
in England has been collected as at 30 September each year since 2013. The most recent
data as at 30 September 2016 was published by the department on 16 February 2017 and
is available online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-childrens-social-care-workforce"
