Adult Learning and Skills Service Accountability Agreement 2024-25
|
Yes |
As a provider of adult education in receipt of
grant funding of over £1m we must write and publish an
accountability statement to form part 2 of our funding agreement
with the Skills Funding Agency. We have also been advised that to
meet financial procedure rules we must also document approval to
receive the recurring grant funding that will make up part 1 of the
documentation.
|
The document will have been produced with full internal consultation with colleagues in inclusion service, economic development, training and learning and the wider localities teams, external consultation is based upon work with local further education providers as part of the LSIP steering board, with colleagues from the combined authority as part of the work to shape the MCA skills strategy and with colleagues at Yorkshire Learning Providers. |
Whilst the document must respond to local key priorities it is key to the service to position this within the wider education landscape. Open consultation is not deemed necessary as the plan aligns the strategic direction of the service (subject to full open consultation) with these priorities the document must detail the key role the service plays in the adult education ecosystem, so consultation with these stakeholder groups is essential and will involve direct feedback on drafts of the document. |
