The Children's Workforce Network

The Children's Workforce Network (CWN) is an alliance of twelve partners, one of which is CWDC, all committed to creating and supporting a world-class children's workforce in England.

CWN is a strategic body, bringing together the relevant Sector Skills Councils and other partners representing the workforce. It is a voluntary grouping of independent partners, who recognise that collaboration will help them to achieve the more effective implementation of their individual and joint roles.

CWN's vision is of a workforce that:

  • supports integrated and coherent services for children, young people and families
  • remains stable and appropriately staffed, whilst exhibiting flexibility and responsiveness
  • is trusted and accountable, and thereby valued
  • demonstrates high skills, productivity and effectiveness, and
  • exhibits strong leadership, management and supervision.
