One of our greatest strengths is our ability to engage with employers extensively and in a meaningful way across the UK. We are your voice, and use what you tell us to influence policy and practice.

At the end of last year we established a SfC&D UK stakeholder panel. This aims to complement all the national and regional networks we have, and provide us with a formal mechanism to test out ideas and direction of travel for SfC&D's work on a UK level.

The input that we get from contact with stakeholders informs our projects and strategy within each nation, and across the UK. This helps us to ensure that SfC&D has its finger on the pulse in terms of what employers and the sector needs, so that we respond to this in all we do. If you are interested in being part of the UK panel, or finding out more about our local employer networks, please contact hanna.buchheit@skillsforcareanddevelopment.org.uk
