Skills council will start in autumn

The new Sector Skills Council for all those working in early years and children's social care will start to take on some of the duties previously undertaken by the Early Years NTO from as early as this autumn. Speaking at the tenth annual general meeting last week of the Council for Awards in Children's Care and Education (CACHE), chief executive Richard Dorrance confirmed that the Early Years NTO will be wound up as of 31 March 2005 and replaced by the Sector Skills Council for Social Care, Children and Young People.

Speaking at the tenth annual general meeting last week of the Council for Awards in Children's Care and Education (CACHE), chief executive Richard Dorrance confirmed that the Early Years NTO will be wound up as of 31 March 2005 and replaced by the Sector Skills Council for Social Care, Children and Young People.

Dr Dorrance said that it was his understanding that the new SSC would be a 'virtual body' likely to be made up of a small number of representatives from a UK-wide federation of five other organisations - the Children, Young People and Families Council (England), the Adult Care Council (England), the Care Council for Wales, the Northern Ireland Social Care Council and the Scottish Social Services Council.
