Spotlight on rewards tied to performance
Article Abstract:
Performance related pay is being introduced into both the public and private sector in the UK. Many are opposed to these schemes, including the trades unions in the higher education sector. Pay related to performance is being used to motivate existing employees, attract new ones and retain those in post. It is also used as part of the company's philosophy, to explain to potential and present employees the dynamics of its organisation. Although the principle is often supported by employees, the implementation and amount of money available may be disappointing in the long term.

Domestic dispute into crisis
Article Abstract:
The Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work (CCETSW) has set up a strategy group to address the serious problems regarding the funding of social work education. Around 5,000 new recruits a year are likely to be needed in this area but recent years have seen a decrease in the numbers trained. The real reason for this is that there is an insufficient number of places that want to educate social workers. The CCETSW has threatened to refuse to recognise social work programmes delivering inadequate placement provisions either in terms of quantity or quality.
