The sound of social workers protesting against redundancies interrupted a council meeting in Bath which was almost suspended on Monday. “What do we want? No job losses! Who do we tell? Council bosses!” could be heard in the council chamber more clearly than the words of the councillors on Bath and North East Somerset Council’s children, adults, health and wellbeing scrutiny committee. Councillors were discussing a major restructure to the council’s children’s social care department which social workers have warned will devastate key frontline preventative social work.
