CE LL is funded as a lead body for Community Learning provision and will be sub-contracting work under this funding stream. Due to SFA funding rules second level sub-contracting is not allowed. Cheshire East are therefore not able to accept bids from Consortiums or Sub-contractors. The Community Learning categories for 2015-16 Community Learning provision are: - Lot 1 - Health and Wellbeing Programmes Health and Wellbeing Programmes use learning as a means of improving the health and wellbeing of individuals. There is no requirement to progress learners on to employment, although the progression on to further learning and/or employment, if appropriate, would be a desired outcome. A positive impact on the heath and wellbeing of learners should be demonstrated by the end of the course. - Lot 2 - Taster/Engagement Programmes Taster/engagement programmes use creative and innovative approaches to engaging individuals who may normally experience barriers to learning. The desired outcome is that learners will progress on to further learning that will lead to further learning and/or employment outcomes. - Lot 3 - Longer Programmes Leading to Employment Outcomes Longer Programmes leading to employment outcomes are intended to equip individuals with the skills and confidence needed to be able to access work or accredited learning. The desired outcome is that learners will progress on to employment or accredited learning that will lead to employment. These programmes must be aligned to the Skills Funding Agency funding requirements, the priorities set by CE LL and the needs of local people, communities and, where appropriate, businesses.
