CWDC was formed in 2005 with a remit to strengthen the children’s workforce through improved qualifications and skills, increased support for employers and wider integrated working.
In 2010 it was announced that it would lose its funding and its status as a Non-departmental Public Body.
Early years teaching and EYPS
The Teaching Agency is the new executive agency of the DfE, carrying responsibility for ensuring the supply of teachers, training and teacher regulation. It will deliver policy for teachers and instructors, those working in early years, classroom-based school support staff, special educational needs co-ordinators (SENCOs), educational psychologists and examination officers.
Its key areas of responsibility will be the supply and retention of the workforce, overseeing the quality of the workforce, and regulation of teacher conduct. The agency will also fulfil sector body responsibilities with regard to staff who support teaching and learning.
