The Children’s Workforce Development Council (CWDC) leads change so that the thousands of people and volunteers working with children and young people across England are able to do the best job they possibly can. The aim of the CWDC is to ensure England’s children and young people’s workforce are respected by peers and valued for the positive difference they make to children, young people and their families.
They advise and work in partnership with lots of different organisations and people who all want the lives of all children and young people to be healthy, happy and fulfilling. In short, they join up the way different agencies work, and bring consistency to the way children and young people are listened to and looked after. The CWDC are the voice of employers and ensure their concerns, experiences and views directly influence workforce reform.
CWDC supports 2.6 million people who work with children, young people and their families, in sectors including early years, childcare, work with young people, education welfare, social work and social care. They also had impacts on over five million volunteers who work with children and young people
There are five outcomes on the Every Child Matters agenda - one of these is that every child stays safe. The CWDC aim to make England to be the best place in the world for children and young people to grow up in. Keeping children safe is of paramount importance to everyone that works for and with the CWDC.
In November 2010 the government announced it would withdraw CWDC funding after April 2012.
From April 2012 onward the leadership of CWDC’s programmes of work will be taken forward either by the Department for Education (DfE) and the new Teaching Agency.
The CWDC do an amazing job in helping to support workers that keep children and young people safe, I only hope that the agencies taking over their role can carry on the great work in helping to keep England's children safe.
