Our directorates

Leading the way


We deliver our work in a way that is customer focused and evidence driven, making the best use of available technology to provide a seamless service that is based on the intelligence we hold.


As a public sector body, we recognise the importance of best value services that are well-governed and effectively monitored. To do this we have four directorates that carry out our statutory and workforce development role and provide support functions.
