What do we mean by workforce development?
We call the people who work with children and young people the ‘children and young people’s workforce’. We look at how people who work with children and young people work and think of ways to make that better. We do this by developing their skills and knowledge and finding new ways of working.What are skills?
Skills are things that workers need to have to be able to do their job well. All people who work with children and young people need special skills.
