Note:
(1) Percent vacancies = vacancies as a percentage of the staff complement - i.e. relevant WTE+vacancies. Relevant WTE excludes home care staff (and secondments prior to 2006).
(2 ) In 2006 and 2007, data for Dundee City was not provided. The data supplied for 2005 has been used.
(3) In 2006 and 2007, children and families vacancy data for City of Edinburgh was not provided. The 2005 data for children and families has been used.
(4) Vacancy data for Eilean Siar was not provided for 2006 and 2007, so 2005 figures have been used.
(5) In 2006, new staff category trainee social workers collected for the first time.
(6) In the October 2006 census, there was a change in methodology to eliminate the double counting of staff covering for absent staff. Therefore, 2006 figures are not comparable with previous years.
(7) Vacancy data for Glasgow City was not provided for 2007, so 2006 figures have been used instead.
