Do you work with children & young people?   Delivery of the Every Child Matters and Youth Matters agendas in Hackney raises many challenges for the Private, Voluntary and Independent sectors working with children and young people. The local Children’s Services workforce and the responsibilities that individual organisations are required to meet is one key issue for many Private, Voluntary and Independent sector providers in the borough. Over the next 3 years in Hackney, we want to focus on how we meet: § Key workforce skills and qualifications § Essential quality assurance standards § Safeguarding responsibilities for children & young people and § Local Area Agreement outcomes   Find out how you can help shape this agenda and how you can achieve more for your members and organisations at the:   Hackney Children’s Services Third Sector Awareness Raising Event Tuesday, 15 January, 2008 10.00am to 1.00pm Queensbridge Sports & Community Centre 30 Holly Street, London, E8 3XW
