Issue - meetings

Cabinet considered a report on arrangements for the Schools element of the Apprenticeship Levy.

It was proposed that the Lancashire County Council Skills, Learning and Development (SL&D) service would continue to work with Lancashire Schools through the Lancashire Schools Forum (LSF) to establish working practices to maximise the utilisation of the Schools element of the Apprenticeship Levy. The SL&D service would work with the LSF and others to explore and implement funding options to support this activity.

Resolved: That,

  i.  Lancashire Schools access Apprenticeship Levy funding through the Lancashire County Council Digital Account.

  ii.  The SL&D Service establishes mechanisms for delivery, governance and operating protocols with Lancashire Schools through the LSF.

  iii.  SL&D work with LSF to explore funding options to assist in supporting this activity.
