Training & Development

These pages have been created to allow Education Welfare Practitioners quick and easy access to information on training and development issues specific to their job and to keep you up to date with new developments. The initial funding to develop and populate these pages was provided by CWDC (Children's Workforce Development Council) as part of their Occupational Grouping Funding stream.

It is important that these pages remain up to date and informative and you can support this in a number of ways.

• From time to time NASWE will be canvassing the views of practitioners so please take some time to check out the site and add your views
• What's happening in your area? If your local authority or a college near you are delivering relevant training, or your authority is doing something innovative, tell us using the contact box below so that we can let others know.
• Are you organising a training event in your area? NASWE are happy to post this on the site free of charge for a not for profit event or for a small fee for profit making events.
