Each of the 7 Local Authorities in the pilot has a delegated resource to put in place local arrangements for delivery but there will be close joint working with the providers across the region. There is a regional project board and there will be an independent evaluation team working across the region to capture outcomes and learning and report back to the MHCLG.

The PIE Training will be commissioned on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority.
