- Conference is sell-out
The north-west of England's first regional EYP conference has been a sell-out success, with over 100 delegates set to attend on 15 May. The event is organised by EYP and network lead Elaine Canale in association with Bolton local authority. She says, 'CWDC will be updating us on EYPS and where the country is at in terms of meeting its workforce targets. We look forward to the opportunity to network and share good practice on the day.'
