Skills and Training Audit
The Skills and Training Audit forms part of a pilot exercise for development of the Youth Work workforce, and is the necessary foundation for training, qualifying and equipping Youth Workers to serve the young people of Wales more effectively. It stems from recommendations made by the interim Youth Work Board’s report ‘Time to Deliver’ to deliver a sustainable model for Youth Work.
In November 2023, Data Cymru was commissioned by Education Training Standards (ETS) Wales to undertake a renewed skills and training data collection. Both the Local Authorities and the Voluntary sectors were asked to take part. Two data collection instruments were developed; one aimed at individuals and one to be completed by a senior leader within organisations delivering youth work in Wales.
