LET'S BE HONEST. 
How the Government of Jersey responded with eye-opening honesty to a damming report into historic child abuse with cases dating back to 1945 and inspired dedicated children's social workers to come on a journey and make sure this failure never happened again. Jersey's reputation has suffered enormously.
The challenge: Recruit Social Workers, Managers and Senior Staff, and reduce hugely expensive and totally unsustainable agency care worker usage.
The results PR: The campaign captured wide-raging attention. There was a lot of local press coverage and the minister appeared on television to discuss the campaign.
The results Recruitment: More importantly, the campaign has brought an impressive number of outstanding children's Social Workers to the island. And it is not finished yet.

The letter. This diverse campaign led with a letter – appearing as a print ad in the Guardian, the Jersey Evening Post and Professional Social Work magazine. The point was to be seen by the industry, be thought-provoking, get people talking, use bold language and inspire trust and interest in equal measure. This was more than a recruitment ad, it was a call to arms.
