Interview: Tell me what you need - Liz Morrey, development director, Children's Workforce Development Council

Participation is the word on Liz Morrey's lips, but she's more interested in getting the views of the children's workforce than of children.

As development director of the shadow Children, Young People and Families' Workforce Development Council for England (to give it its full name), Morrey is charged with establishing its organisational structure and strategic plan before it starts operating in permanent form, probably by next April.
