N1  - Literature snapshots, July 2012
N2  - This literature snapshot summarises documents relating to the development and implementation of core competencies for the children’s workforce (ie a workforce of people who work with children).

It draws mainly on literature from the UK, which is the only jurisdiction to have taken this step toward including core competencies for a children’s workforce. Material from the US, Canada and Australia is also included. (from the website)

This literature snapshot is one of a number of time-limited research scans commissioned by Child, Family and Community Policy to inform the development of the White Paper for Vulnerable Children. The snapshot provides a narrative review of literature that focuses on a general topic of interest. It does not seek to weigh up a body of focused scholarship in order to make a definitive judgement about the strength of evidence in support of particular programmes and practices.
The information in this snapshot is limited to a single literature search across reputable online information sources, government websites and other printed materials. (from the document)
