Agenda item

S Sykes presented a report and performance dashboards to provide the Board with an update on performance information on all skills and employment programmes delivered on behalf of the LEP and the MCA.  It was noted that there were no issues with projects to report.

It was reported that it had been confirmed that the full amount of Skills Bank funding had been awarded for 2020/21.

With regard to the Local Growth Fund, the Board were informed that when contracting for projects, the standard LGF template was used which didn’t include information of quality.  S Sykes queried whether the Board thought this information would be useful.

Then Board felt that this should be included where relevant.

RESOLVED:

(i)            That the report be noted.

That when contracting for projects, quality should be included in the template where relevant.
