Strategy gives workforce boost

The government will today (Thursday 11 December) unveil a new partnership body designed to represent the entire children and young people's sector as part of the 2020 workforce strategy.

A review of regulation and registration across the workforce, a reassessment of the role of sector skills councils and a review of workforce support arrangements will also form part of the long-awaited strategy.

The so-called common core of skills and knowledge for the workforce will also be expanded so all those working with children and young people understand emotional health and wellbeing and the needs of disabled children.

And in youth work, the strategy promises training for 5,000 youth service leaders and managers and the introduction of a new youth professional status for youth workers. Training provider Ford Partnership has won the Children's Workforce Development Council contract to deliver the training.
