Consideration was given to this report which detailed the
position regarding 16-19 commissioning with effect from mid October
2010. This followed further changes to
the national arrangements which, in July 2010, had culminated with
the Local Authority retaining its strategic role for all 16-19
learners and the Young Peoples Learning Agency taking on the
majority of arrangements to institutions and training providers as
well as the management of contracts and grant
agreements.
RESOLVED
- That the detailed process which presents a
detailed performance Analysis principally based on 2008-9 learner
outcomes from which the commissioning priorities have been
identified be noted.
- That the proposed
16-19 Commissioning priorities which sets out those strategic areas
which are seen as essential in improving the outcomes for all 16-19
year old learners across Cheshire East be endorsed.
- That the steps being
taken to integrate Authority Service Teams in terms of establishing real collaboration and effective use
of resources which allows the mapping of learner pathways from Pre
16, into Post 16 and then into adult Learning be noted.
