The purpose of the VCS Engage programme is to engage the Voluntary and Community Sector in the new framework for planning, commissioning and delivering services for children, young people and families. This will be achieved through tailored training packages, equipping the sector with the skills and knowledge they need to engage with Local Authorities and work within the ECM agenda.
