A major one-day international conference
Supported by the Scottish Government and European Commission
Across Europe, reform of the children’s sector workforce is on the agenda as new roles develop and new aspirations envision services which are child and family centred. These developments require a workforce that is skilled, valued and representative of the population it serves.
This conference will:
· explore issues and developments relevant to the reform of the children’s sector workforce
· consider workforce models and developments in a wide range of EU countries
· offer a particular focus on the role of the early years workforce in addressing poverty and promoting social inclusion
· strengthen the dialogue between the providers of initial and continuing education, and employers and other stakeholders
· help shape the debate at a local, national and European level on how to develop a workforce that our children and young people and their families deserve
