An opportunity to shape the new programme to develop young people’s workforce
CWDC is holding 11 regional consultations and an online consultation to give those who work with young people the opportunity to shape the next stages of a £25m programme. The programme, managed by the Children’s Workforce Network and led by CWDC, covers the young people’s workforce aspects of Aiming High for Young People*.
The programme aims to strengthen leadership and management through training programmes for up to 300 strategic leaders, 5,000 frontline managers and 150 emerging leaders; to build capacity in the third sector; and create a common platform of skills which includes the Youth Professional Status.

The online consultation opens on 29th April. It will be found at www.cwdcouncil.org.uk/yps-consultation
Keith Brumfitt, Director of Strategy at CWDC, said: “This programme is about building on the good work that the workforce already does to ensure it is better able to successfully deliver improved outcomes for young people. It is also about promoting greater cohesion and consistency in the way the workforce works with each other and with young people.
“We now want to fully involve everyone in the sector at all levels and listen to their views on how best to move forward with the programme.
“These consultations will be the ideal opportunity for people for those who work with young people to shape and be part of developing a world-class workforce which will meet the demands of the 21st century.”

Holy Thursday
So much starts to happen as the week begins to come its climax. In the church calender the washing of the Disciples’ Feet, the Last Supper, sweating blood in the garden and the betrayal by Judas is remembered. We go from the highs through the lows to rumblings again that something is going on.
Roles inverted, the leader who kneels,
questions unanswered, as the cup passes round
Roles unexpected, the leader who bleeds to the ground
Answers rejected, a new future peels Sense and Sensibility hd
Holy Monday
The church calender (depending on which denomination) highlights today as fig monday when the withering of fig tree is read and remembered in the light of the events that will follow later this week. Thinking on this the fig tree seems fit not because of the historic judgement interpritations but in the aftermath of Palm Sunday with its jubilation and shouts, the sense of anti climax or what next. the withering of expectation after a day of celebration and hope, perhaps preparing the disciples for the seemingly anti climax of the cross.
After the waving and songs of hope
After the ride without any pope
After the noise and after the shouts
Came the monday, the monday of doubts.
Holy Tuesday remembers the parable of the 10 virgins perhaps because hope and vigliance was needed
After the doubts and the aprehension
they slowly remembered with expection
After the conversations and the reminiscing
Hope was rekindled for a new beginining
Holy Wednesday or spy wednesday is the day when the church remembers Judus first arranging the betrayal
The fire was small and the light grew dim
At least one thought the future looked very grim
Dashed expections and a misunderstood theme
followed the mumbles, followed the scheme
Post modern mission
This is a kind of reworking of an earlier post *batteries not included buy exploring how we can use post modern conditions (PMC) to aid the process of mission or if you like how can the charateristics of post modernity help us help the world and ourselves become fully human. They all inter relate but here are a few I have been thinking on.
PMC Truth is relative
– reinforces the need for missional humility countering the Christendom arrogance.
– reinforces that it is God’s mission not ours
PMC This is my truth
– mission is a dialogue and christianity is a faith that questions our answers so we can journey together
-we do not have a monopoly on truth but see through a glass dimly they may help liberate us
– if we listen thier truth they will listen to ours
– trust our story
PMC it is all one
– mission is worship which fuels our faith and gives time to engage with people
– is a response that goes beyond the categories of modernity so can itself be critiqued
– you will find God in that moment
PMC Individualist consumerism
– even here God is present, there is the echo of a memory that this may not fullfill
– the fleeting nature of the purchase and the God who plays hide and seek
PMC it is all relative
– opens dialogue and listening which in turns offers and reinforces the desire for relationships
– a good place to start a journey of discovery
PMC hyper criticism
– if a seeker seeks they will find, encourge the questions rather close down the dialogue by giving an answer
– the offer and possible discovery of the herectical imperative
– christ is beyond the propositional approachs and faith is not about assent to the particularBaja Beach Bums move

Shrove Tuesday
In the madness that was yesterday I ended up with missing two meals, which actually served me well as I often fail to prepare as approach Lent. It reminded me of the approaching time and the need for discipline in fasting, appropriatly and purposefully. So this is my gentle reminder to myself as i approach the season to SORT IT OUT!!
