Recent and upcoming events from the IS Early Learning and Childcare team explore workforce planning in the sector and examine how the ELC Insights Dashboard can support planning and improvement.

National ELC Workforce Planning Discovery Session

In November, we hosted a national discovery session bringing together professionals from 24 local authorities to share approaches, challenges, and opportunities in early learning and childcare workforce planning. The session highlighted innovative practices and common priorities, all aimed at ensuring the right people are in the right place with the right skills to give children and families the best start.

You can read the full summary here.

We’re now planning focused sessions with individual councils to dive deeper into local priorities. If your council would like to take part, sign up here.

ELC Insights Dashboard Workshop - 27 November

Join us for an interactive session exploring how local authorities can use the ELC Insights Dashboard (ELCID) to strengthen service planning and improvement in funded early learning and childcare.

This workshop will:

  • Provide a walkthrough of key ELCID features
  • Showcase real examples of how councils are using the tool in practice
  • Offer space to share feedback and shape future developments

The session is particularly relevant for ELC leads and colleagues involved in service planning, quality improvement, or performance reporting.
