Developing the Childcare Workforce
30 Mar 2010
6th National Conference. Held at The Bloomsbury Hotel, London
The Government expects organisations within children’s trusts to demonstrate that they are working together at the operational level and directors of children’s services to gain more experience of operations. This conference looked at examples of co-operative best practice on the ground, helping local authorities and their statutory partners to meet these obligations.
