Recommendation
Staff retention is important for continuity of care for people with SMI. As part of the forthcoming 10 Year Workforce Plan, the Government should set out specific measures to reduce burnout, including action on caseload management and access to supervision; improve pay and progression opportunities for CMHS staff, including those in the VCFSE sector delivering equivalent roles; and ensure comprehensive training and continued professional development is available. (Recommendation, Paragraph 194)
