Welcome to the One Children's Workforce tool
What is the one children’s workforce tool?
The one children's workforce tool is an online self assessment tool that enables local areas to establish where they are in relation to the one children’s workforce framework. The tool allows local areas to involve their workforce in a number of activities such as questionnaires, workshops and focus groups.
How does it work?
By using the tool and gathering the views of the workforce the local areas can highlight areas for potential improvements, and focus development activity on the areas that are likely to have the greatest positive impact on children and families.
Am I part of the children and young people’s workforce?
If you work with children or young people in any aspect of your job, including volunteering, or if you manage people who do, then the answer is yes.
How can I get involved?
If you have been selected to participate in a questionnaire then you can login and submit your answers online. If you have forgotten your password or have trouble logging in then use the forgotten password link and a reminder will be e-mailed to you.
