Butterworth Report
The Butterworth Report (1972) or the Report of the Butterworth Inquiry Into the Work and Pay of Probation Officers and Social Workers was a report published by a committee headed by Jack Butterworth, Baron Butterworth and commissioned by the Department for Employment to study the work and pay of social workers in England, Scotland and Wales.[1][2] It advocated for local setting of priorities to prevent services from becoming overwhelmed by demand.[3] It also noted that there were discrepancies in pay and prospects for those working in the National Health Service compared with those employed by local authorities.[4]
