Children’s Workforce Development Project

The Children’s Workforce Development Council aims to improve the lives of children, young people, their families and carers.

They do this by ensuring that those who work with children and young people have the best possible training, qualifications and support. They also help organisations work together more closely so that children and young people are at the heart of what they do.

The organisation works in the interests of a range of sectors covering about 500,000 workers, including early years and childcare, education welfare and social care for children and young people.

Leeds Voice in partnership with Children Leeds and the then Connexions West Yorkshire was successful in applying for funding from the Children’s Workforce Development Council, under the Workforce Strategy Partners Programme.

Leeds has a Strategic Workforce Reform Group of which the VCFS is represented and all localised developments from this group and developments for the VCFS will be posted here.
