In pursuance of this aim, a Steering Group has been set up. It is intended that at least one Sector Skills Council may take the lead in identifying the skills required for promoting sustainable development for all levels of employees, including managers, autonomous workers and supervisored workers.

Many government agenices, particular Local Authorities and Regional Development Authorities have a responsibility to implement sustainable development. Sector Skills Councils are required to "take the lead...in particular they will give employees ...confidence that: sustainable development and rising public expectations are being assessed accurately and professionally."

Charlie Clutterbuck, Director of EPaW has been nominated by the UK government's Trade Union Sustainable Development Advisory Committee (TUSDAC) to this SSDA Steering Group.

The DfES are producing a paper "Sustainable Development in Education & Skills" to be announced in Autumn 2003.
