Decision details

York Learning Accountability Agreement 2024/25

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Decision Made (subject to call-in)

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Purpose of Report: 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 statement is a mandatory part of the legislation linked to our current funding arrangements but must make clear reference to a document, written by West and North Yorkshire Chamber of commerce called the Learning Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and the key priorities of the council. This document is this year’s version of a document approved for 2023-24 and our response is largely based upon the strategy for adult learning and skills engagement that we consulted on in July 2022 and just defines targets based on the LSIP and national skills requirements.

Members will be asked: To approve the agreement to form part 2 of our annual funding contract with the Skills Funding Agency.

Decision:

Resolved:

 

                      i.         Approved the Accountability Statement at the Annex to this report ahead of publication at the end of June 2024.

 

Reason:     For the service to receive funding to deliver against this

statement we must gain agreement on contents. This agreement provides a framework for accountability whilst enabling us to receive the necessary funds to deliver the service. The document will also serve as the basis for wider internal conversations that will maximise the potential of learning for our residents.
