In addressing the challenges that many areas of the children’s workforce face there is a need to raise the importance of retaining staff by offering them better development opportunities and clear career progression opportunities across services and agencies.

It is important that staff have the appropriate knowledge and skills and that these are clearly understood by the key stakeholders and partners in order that effective workforce planning can be undertaken across the whole children’s services workforce.

In response to the changing practices within the Children and Young People’s Partnership there is a need to ensure staff have skills in new and developing areas such as commissioning and procurement, Common Assessment Framework, e-CAF and information sharing.

The professional competence and continuing development of staff is vital to the quality of service provided to children and young people. Through the workforce data and skills analysis tool we will be able to identify the current profile of qualifications held by staff which will enable us to target segments of the workforce and indeed particular qualifications thus providing opportunities for staff to improve their competence from basic skills upwards.
