The Children’s Workforce Network is a strategic alliance committed to creating and supporting a world-class children's workforce in England.

The Children's Workforce Network (CWN) is a strategic body, bringing together the relevant Sector Skills bodies (including the Children's Workforce Development Council), workforce reform and regulatory bodies. It is a voluntary grouping of independent partners, who recognise that collaboration will help them to achieve the more effective implementation of their individual and joint roles.

The Network's vision is a children's workforce that:

• Supports integrated and coherent services for children, young people and families
• Remains stable and appropriately staffed, whilst exhibiting flexibility and responsiveness
• Is trusted and accountable, and thereby valued
• Demonstrates high skills, productivity and effectiveness
• Exhibits strong leadership, management and supervision
