  The research which underpins this briefing report was driven by a primary, quantitative Workforce Survey which focused on understanding the views of employers across the public sector – in particular, health and justice. This involved respondents sharing their experiences and views on qualifications and skills, training, the critical workforce issues impacting on delivery, and the external drivers of change which shape the ways in which employers respond to challenges. This research, which is conducted every two years, is the latest in a series of investigations into the public-sector workforce.
