Planning for the future supply of these groups forms part of our wider workforce planning process
for relevant professions. However a number of these roles are 'post graduate' and therefore
development of these staff is primarily an employer responsibility. LETBs are working locally with
employers to understand barriers to this development and in some cases are providing financial
support (as indicated in Investment Plan proposals).
