Gaps in training and access to training
I am trying to identify any gaps in training for te Children's and Young People's workforce.
I am also aware that across the sectors (statutory, voluntary and private), different constraints operate which make it difficult to access the kind of training you need, or would like for your professional or personal development.
Organisations vary in attitude and approach to training, the amount of money available, the ability to cover staff absences while indertaking training etc.
Attached is a survey covering some of these.
Workforce Development Strategy
A key element of achieving a world class workforce is a sound workforce development strategy.
The attached strategy has been agreed by the Integrated Working Board, extended services, educational psychologists and numerous other groups within Warwickshire. The next move is for approval by the Children's Trust Board at their next meeting.
The strategy identifies six principles and key themes:
Integrated working
Recruitment
Retention
Leadership and Management
Learning and Development
Quality standards and practice
