What can we learn from other parts of the public sector, other sectors, and other programmes (e.g. NHS, parenting programmes) about professional training to develop knowledge and skills (e.g. about child development, on behaviour management, on how to improve leadership skills, how to improve workforce wellbeing, and how to use evidence)?

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).
