The review team write

The Department for Education has commissioned an expert-led review of professional development for the children’s homes workforce. As part of this, the review team are seeking views on professional development from people working across the children’s residential care sector.

Your feedback will help us understand what is working well, where there are challenges, and what changes could better support the workforce. Insights gathered through this survey will be used alongside other sector engagement activities to inform the Children’s Homes Workforce Review and its recommendations. The team are really grateful for your feedback.

The survey contains seven sections:

1. Information about your role and experience
2. Knowledge, Skills and Qualifications
3. Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
4. Career Pathways
5. Practice Models
6. Leadership
7. Closing Questions

All questions are optional. You do not need to answer every question to submit the form, and you are welcome to provide feedback on as many or as few areas as you wish.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to the review.
