Children's Workforce Development Council's remit announced

Oxfordshire Children and Voluntary Youth Services has received substantial funding from the Children's Workforce Development Council over the past three years. CWDC has received their remit letter from the Department for Education, which outlines their work activities for 2011/12.  Activities include
completing work to develop and deliver the framework for the development  of apprenticeships for working with young people at levels 2 & 3 that was  started under the Young People’s Workforce Reform Programme.  CWDC  will continue to support and embed integrated working across the wider workforce and disseminate good practice.  There is no specific funding  allocated to support the voluntary and community sector to engage in  workforce reform and no continuation of what was the Workforce Strategy Partners Programme.  More information.

This will impact on our delivery to our members in the short term but we hope to source other pots of funding for this work.
