Regional occupational summary sheet pilot

Pilot study to explore the feasibility of using occupational summary sheets to map key workforce intelligence data for CWDC's sector skills footprint in four regions

Using occupational summary sheets to map workforce intelligence data

A pilot study has been carried out in four regions (East England, East Midlands, South East, and Yorkshire and the Humber) to obtain a clearer picture of the availability of regional information for the occupational groups for which CWDC is responsible, across public, private and voluntary sectors. We call these groups our 'footprint'.

The findings support work to improve workforce intelligence for the children's workforce in relation to one of five priorities set out in our sector skills agreement - 'Delivering the big deal'.

The report looks at data sources and suggests ways forward to tackle the data gaps that have been identified within the pilot.

The full report is available below.
