• What are the features of the design and delivery of cost-effective professional development, at scale? Why are these features effective?

Background

We need further evidence to ensure that we have people across all the education and children's social care sectors with the best possible knowledge, skills, and experience, and who are motivated, inspired and enabled to deliver our Opportunity Mission. This includes supporting all of our workforces to use the best available evidence in their work. (For brevity, please read all references to children as encompassing both children and young people where appropriate).
