The UK Commission’s first strategic plan, published at the same time as this document, sets our vision, mission and priorities for the next five years and beyond as we seek to improve the economic competitiveness and social cohesion of the UK through increasing employment and skills of the working age population and balancing the needs of providers, individuals, employers and communities.
