Retaining staff at Northamptonshire County Council's children's services department has been hard work.
The under pressure service only came out of special measures earlier this year, but an Ofsted report said work still needed to be done to improve the retention of social workers.
Staff leaving means inconsistency for children and big agency costs, but a new mentoring scheme is hoping to tackle that.
Social worker Janice Snelson spoke to the BBC earlier this year about the pressures workers face.
Quote MessageI've had times when I've wanted to leave. I'm always talking about it... I've seen some amazing people who I've got a lot of inspiration from leave this organisation. That's what's been difficult for me.
