  1. Learning and Skills Council Update Presented to: Rutland Learning Disability Partnership Board By: Maggie Freeman Welcome

  2. Machinery ofGovernment • The Government is planning to change the way it organises and manages funding for learners who are aged 16 and above • Funding for 16 – 18 year olds will go to the Local Authorities in 2010 • Funding for adults will be through a new organisation called the Skills Funding Agency

  3. Machinery ofGovernment • The Government hasn’t yet decided who will manage and fund learning for people with disabilities or learning difficulties who are aged 19 – 25 • There will also be a new National Apprenticeship Service starting in April 2009

  4. Learning for Livingand Work • This is the Learning and Skills Council’s plan to improve learning and opportunities for people with learning difficulties and disabilities • The Government is committed to the plan whatever happens after 2010 • Because of the changes the government is making, the plans to change the way learning for people with learning difficulties is funded, have been delayed

  5. Some thingshappening locally • The LSC has provided £1/2 million funding to build a new adult education centre as part of ‘The Big Build’ in Oakham • The LSC has agreed a £40 million project at New College Stamford to rebuild most of the college. • The range of types of courses you can do at New College Stamford has increased, including lots more practical courses

  6. Some thingshappening locally • There have been some excellent Ofsted inspection results • But, a review of learning opportunities in Rutland has shown that there are not enough courses at entry at level 1, or practical courses so learners have to travel a long way to get the course they want • The schools and Rutland College are working together with the LSC and Rutland County Council to see how they can improve this

  7. Employment • The number of young people with a learning disability going to college or training when they are 16 has improved and is better than for everyone else • But • The number of young people with a learning disability getting a proper job when they leave college is not as good as for everyone else

  8. Employment • So we are trying to improve this: • Linkage Community Trust are doing some work for us to find out all the different people and schemes there are to help people get proper jobs • Colleges are looking at their courses to see how they can be improved to get people into proper jobs

  9. Any Questions?
