Using a panel survey provider a US cross-sectional survey was completed by 92 Latino fathers who had a child with a disability.

Failure to retain experienced practitioners has serious implications for the protection and support of vulnerable children. Existing research and workforce interventions have focused on the support of early-career social workers to prevent exit. Relatively few studies have examined what can be learned from experienced social workers who have remained in the profession long-term. This study captures the voices of experienced stayers. Data consist of interviews with social workers (<i>n</i> = 58) across 11 local authorities in England who have remained in practice for ≥8 years. Findings suggest that a strong sense of professional identity (PI) sustains social workers and promotes retention. For experienced social workers, staying in the profession long-term involves navigating a series of identity challenges over the course of their career, conceptualized here as Critical Career Episodes (CCEs). Based on these findings, we suggest that retaining experienced social workers involves support to navigate CCEs alongside meaningful opportunities for learning and development. We identify three key factors that support and sustain ongoing PI development and support retention: generativity, specialism and mobility.
