SAFL Community Learning 2023/2024

Notice Description

The Council wishes to invite applications for funding for the Adult Skills Programme from providers with a proven track record and, where applicable, an Ofsted rating of Good or Outstanding. The contract and timescale for delivery will cover learners enrolling and undertaking learning from 1st August 2023 to 30th June 2024. Delivery of provision must be completed by 30th June 2024. The Adult Skills Programme must meet the needs of the diverse population of the area and tackle some of the challenges Sandwell faces whilst recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, in particular in increasing employability, up-skilling and employment support targeted at communities in greatest need. Wider adult learning opportunities have a vital role to play in promoting inclusion, improving health outcomes, in engaging and building capacity in local communities, and supporting and building stronger families. We expect activities to be in response to local needs and to deliver community-based learning activities. We expect to commission a range of providers to access different groups of learners in different areas of Sandwell who can produce high levels of positive progressions into further learning and/or employment.
