Integrated Qualifications Framework (IQF)

What is the IQF?

The Integrated Qualifications Framework (IQF) will be a set of approved qualifications that allows progression, continuing professional development and mobility across the children and young people's workforce.

It will be a comprehensive set of qualifications that are agreed to be appropriate for people who work with children and young people, up to and including degrees and postgraduate qualifications. It will support shared values and learning approaches across the whole of the children and young people's workforce.

The Children's Workforce Development Council is working with its partners in the Children's Workforce Network (CWN) to develop the IQF. This means that it will extend across and be supported by all the different sector bodies and occupational groups who work with children. Ultimately, this will mean that the child is at the heart of all services and the skills and training available for staff is the best and most relevant in can possibly be.
