Introduction to workforce reformWhy workforce reform? (PDF) is an information sheet created by NCVYS to explain to leaders and managers why workforce reform has come about and what it is, to help them realise why they should take note of this important work. In essence, it is about staff and volunteers having the best skills and knowledge in order to work with and meet the needs of children and young people.They cannot work alone and must work in an integrated (partnership) way with other services. NCVYS member the Salvation Army has two clear messages to its youth staff and volunteers 'No more lone ranger' and 'It takes a village to raise a child'.
