CWDC to lose government funding

2 mins read Youth Work
The government is withdrawing funding from the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) in a bid to channel more cash to frontline services, children's minister Sarah Teather has announced.

The sector skills council for the children’s workforce will also cease to be a non-departmental public body (NDPB), and its functions will be carried out by the Department for Education (DfE) instead.

The future of CWDC had been uncertain for some time, since it was being considered as part of the government’s wider arms-length body review.

But Education Secretary Michael Gove has now written to Sir Paul Ennals, chair of CWDC, to confirm that DfE staff will start working with the organisation on a detailed transfer plan for their work.

Officials will also liaise with CWDC on how to continue engaging employers in workforce development.
