About CWDC

CWDC aims to improve the lives of children, young people, their families and carers.

We do this by ensuring that those who work with children and young people have the best possible training, qualifications and support. We also help organisations work together more closely so that children and young people are at the heart of what they do.

Our organisation works in the interests of a range of sectors covering about 500,000 workers, including early years and childcare, education welfare and social care for children and young people. We are one of six bodies forming the UK Skills For Care and Development Sector Skills Council and coordinate the Children’s Workforce Network.
