Dear Members.
This week we have 42 pages of news and views and bids, grants and funds going out
to over 3,000 people and Organizations. Thanks to our sponsor Richard at Net

Well a Very happy Easter to you all.
Thousands of nursing apprentices who have less than a year before they finish
their training can breathe a sigh of relief as an organisation has finally been
found to assess them.
However, there is likely to be concern over whether enough assessors will be
recruited to meet demand seeing as there will be close to 4,500 of the apprentices
taking their final exams throughout 2020 alone.
NOCN, an end-point assessment organisation (EPAO) approved to assess the
second most standards in the country, was given the green light to assess level 5
nursing associate apprentices yesterday.

The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education has once again awarded its long-term
external quality assurance (EQA) contract to Open Awards.
The decision sees a continuation of service from the awarding body who has been delivering quality
assurance for apprenticeships assessment on behalf of the institute since 2017.
Its previous long-term contract came to an end in March 2019 but as FE Week reported earlier this
month, Open Awards had agreed to extend this work until June while the institute’s “competitive”
procurement was finalised.

The Greater London Authority is planning to provide free English for speakers of other languages
(ESOL) courses up to the level required for British citizenship.
As part of a new consultation on its Skills for Londoners Framework, which was launched today and
outlines how the GLA intends to spend its adult education budget (AEB) from 2020/21, there is a
proposal to fully-fund ESOL provision up to entry level 3 from that year.
The GLA is due to take control of London’s £306 million adult education budget from the Education
and Skills Funding Agency on August 1, 2019. In that year, London’s Mayor will conduct a review into
the quality and delivery of ESOL provision in the capital before offering the free courses.

Meeting larger employers' recruitment needs through training for inactive / unemployed people
across SELAG
CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD
There are a number of larger employers across the SELAG area, e.g. Ginsters, St Austell Brewery etc.
and, considering the UK average staff turnover is approximately 15%, this presents an opportunity
for residents in Core areas to develop skills with a view to gaining employment.
Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with larger employers and understand their
recruitment needs. This will lead to the development of relevant training for Participants in Core
areas. Methods for engaging with eligible Participants will also need to be demonstrated.
Projects will deliver a level of 'training' relevant to the needs of participants and support them into
potential employment with the partner employer organisations. This may include addressing soft
skills such as increasing confidence, raising aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training;
or anything in between. Following the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported
into further training, job seeking or employment.
It is possible that wage subsidies can be utilised to help engage employers and mitigate any
perceived risk of employing somebody from disadvantaged circumstances, e.g somebody with a
disability or who may be long-term unemployed.
• We are looking for:
Projects that demonstrate an ability to act strategically linking employers staffing needs with courses
for local Participants.
• Projects that take Participants' wider development needs into account and find solutions to
address them.

Support and skills development for inactive / unemployed Young People in Callington (18-24)
CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD
SELAG recognises the lack of enquiries for projects working with young people in Callington. There is
concern regarding stories of a rising drug issue in Callington and SELAG will welcome projects that
also address this as part of an overall skills development project.
Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with young local unemployed and
economically inactive residents in eligible areas of Callington.
Projects will deliver a level of skills development relevant to the needs of participants and move
them closer to the workforce. This may include addressing soft skills such as increasing confidence,
raising aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training; or anything in between. Following
the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported into further training, job seeking or
employment.
We are looking for:
• Projects that demonstrate a link between local employers staffing needs and the proposed training
project will be a higher priority for support.
• Projects where training is provided to eligible Participants in a way that also aims to address the
most acute issues identified in the IMD will be a high priority for support.

Create a route to self-employment in Callington, Saltash & Torpoint
CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD
A recent review of projects and verifiable enquiries has shown there is little or no activity happening
to meet the P11 outputs in this area (96 potential entrepreneurs is the SELAG target). The South &
East Cornwall LAG feel it is timely to target activity accordingly.
Projects that raise aspiration in eligible beneficiaries and recruit them to a course (min of 12 hours
interaction) where they will learn how to become enterprise ready.
Applicants should demonstrate where they are linking with local organisations for engagement,
support and/or legacy purposes. Demonstration of innovative thinking in the applicant's exit strategy
will be a priority.
It is probable that a proportion of beneficiaries will have additional training needs that may limit
their ability to make the most of the pre-start up business support. This should be taken into account
by applicants and consideration given to how they will address this.
Beneficiaries' may currently be employed, unemployed or inactive, but cannot already own a
business.
We are looking for:
• Applicants that can demonstrate flexible delivery methodologies that have different approaches
depending on the needs of the beneficiaries.
• Linkages between the applicant and other training programmes to facilitate additional skills
development for beneficiaries as appropriate.

Developing Basic Home & Property Maintenance Skills (Newquay)
CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD
Anecdotal evidence and desktop research suggest this is particularly acute in Houses of Multiple
Occupation (HMOs). Issues include inadequate heating, ventilation and insulation which can be the
cause of poor living conditions, e.g. cold, damp, condensation, spread of mould etc, and have a
direct impact on the health of tenants. Alongside this, there are issues with unsustainable, seasonal
employment leading to economic insecurity and fragile living situations.
Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with landlords and their unemployed /
inactive tenants private homeowners to develop skills linked to DIY home improvement and utilise
the housing stock as a training ground and practical experience opportunity.
Skills Development:
Projects will deliver a level of 'training' relevant to the needs of participants and move them closer
to the workforce. This may include addressing soft skills such as increasing confidence, raising
aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training; or anything in between.
Following the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported into further training, job
seeking or employment such as a trade apprenticeship.
Route to self-employment:
Projects will also be encouraged that raise aspiration in eligible beneficiaries and recruit them to a
course (min of 12 hours interaction) where they will learn how to become enterprise ready.
This may be following the previous skills development and ultimately lead to self-employment
relating to home repairs/DIY.
Applicants should demonstrate where they are linking with landlords and other relevant
organisations for engagement, support and/or legacy purposes. Demonstration of innovative
thinking in the applicant's exit strategy will be a priority.
Types of projects sought:
• Projects where training is provided in a way that also aims to address participants' needs
holistically and/or the most acute issues identified in the IMD.
• Projects that alleviate issues associated with mental health and/or fuel poverty.
• Projects that include a degree of co-design will also be encouraged.
Due to Health & Safety consideration, the intention is to focus on basic DIY skills and
not those requiring accredited certification in electrical, plumbing or gas related

New £60 Million Fund to Support Young Peoples TV Programming (UK)
The Government has provided £60million of funding to provide a boost to the UK’s Radio and
Television sector. Over the past decade the output of children’s television from public service
broadcasters (PSBs) in the UK has been in decline, with them spending roughly 40% less than they
did in 2006. As a result of this a significant amount of programming on children’s channels now
consist of repeats.
The funding is being made available through two schemes:
The Young Audiences Content Fund (YACF), which is administered by the British Film Institute, aims
to help reverse the trend of repeats and will specifically focus on television for young people under
the age of 18.
The Audio Content Fund (ACF) will be used to produce distinctive, public service radio programming
that is traditionally more difficult to support on a commercial basis. This includes programmes such
as documentaries, comedy, drama and light entertainment.
Both funds will also provide a boost to indigenous UK languages programming such as Welsh and
Gaelic, with an aim to invest five per cent of the total fund on this.

apply for programme or project funding or for unrestricted or core support for work which will
contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Northern Ireland conflict.
The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) aims to fund work delivered by organisations,
individuals and charities and grants range from a few hundred pounds to £100,000+ and may be
single payments or spread over up to three years.
JRCT is interested in funding work which:
• Addresses the root causes of violence and injustice, rather than alleviating symptoms
• Cannot be funded from other sources
• Is likely to make a long-term, strategic difference.
Funded projects will address the following priority areas:
• Strengthening human rights and equality
• Supporting inclusive, non-sectarian and participatory politics
• Supporting processes of demilitarisation
• Dealing with the past i.e. work that promotes a shared understanding of the root causes of
past violence, or which encourages government to implement initiatives to address the legacy
of violence at a societal level.
The Trust is particularly interested in receiving applications related to women’s participation in all of
these areas.
In addition to applications from Northern Ireland, it is open to receiving applications from Britain
and the Republic of Ireland for work related to the above areas, and for work with an

Business and Academic Partnerships: Apply for Funding (UK)
Up to £40 million of funding has been allocated to support businesses in collaborating with an
academic or research organisation and a graduate on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). The
KTP scheme enables businesses in the UK to innovate and grow by linking them with an academic or
research organisation and a graduate.
A KTP enables an academic or research organisation as a partner to a business to recruit a suitable
graduate (an Associate) to work at the company for the duration of the KTP. The business is thus
able to access new skills and the latest academic thinking to deliver a specific, strategic innovation
project. KTPs can last between 12 and 36 months, depending on the project and the needs of the
business.
The KTP 3-way partnership will consist of:
• A UK-based business of any size or a not-for-profit organisation
• An academic or research organisation i.e. university, college or research and technology
organisation in the UK
• A suitably-qualified graduate with the capability to lead a strategic business project
The KTP can be part-funded by a grant from Innovate UK with the business partner contributing to
the salary of the Associate plus the cost of a supervisor who will oversee the scheme. Contributions
will depend on the scale and length of the project and the size of the company i.e.
• Small and medium-sized enterprises contribute around £35,000 per year, about one-third of
the project costs
• Large businesses contribute around £55,000 per year, or half of the project costs

Developing the Use of Data from Clinical Audits to Improve Health Care (UK)
The Health Foundation’s £1.6m Insight Research Programme 2019 invites researchers to submit
ideas for research that advances the development and use of data from national clinical audits and
patient registries as a mechanism for improving health care quality in the UK.
Information held in national clinical audits and registries can be used to inform improvements in
health care quality. However, there is widespread recognition that national clinical audits and
registries could be further developed and are essential to understanding the quality of care
provided, particularly regarding clinical effectiveness, but also other domains of quality.
Under the Insight Research Programme, the Health Foundation will support four to five projects with
funding of between £300,000 and £400,000 for a maximum duration of 4 years.
The priority areas for this call are:
• patient focused audits and registries
• accelerating the use of linked data to support future challenges and trends in quality and care
or to improve the value of health care
• demonstrating and enhancing the impact of national clinical audits and registries on practice
and policy.
The closing date for receipt of outline proposals is the 16th May 2019.

Grants are awarded at two levels, under £1,000 and over £1,000 with the latter awarded at meetings
held three times a year. Payments can only be made to registered charities, therefore smaller
charitable organisations are recommended to approach their local Council for Voluntary Service
(CVS) who can administer or process a grant payment on their behalf.
The Trust acts as a ‘support funder’ and prefers to award:
• Initial grants to act as leverage to access larger funds from other sources
• Shortfall funding i.e. where there is a shortfall for particular elements of the project
• Grants where the project budget is too small to fit the criteria of other funders.
For the ‘Under £1,000’ scheme the average grant is £700 and for the ‘Meeting’ grants the average is
£4,500.
The Trustees meet three times a year and the deadline for receiving completed applications for the
next meeting is 4pm on Friday 28th June 2019.
Applications for grants of below £1,000 can be submitted at any time.
Recent grants awarded include:
• The Four Corners Music Network - £5000 towards the costs of staging the ‘Under the Fields’
festival commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Heaton Main Colliery disaster.
• The YMCA in Northumberland - £30,000 grant towards a major capital project to establish a
Digital Arts Hub in Ashington.
• Chatton Village Hall - £1,000 for solar panels.
• ET Jobs Education and Training, Newcastle - £4,500 to help run ‘Integration for All’ a project
