    3. Introductions

    4. A brief recap… Tripling of ESOL nationally 2001-5 Sept 2007 – fees introduced Review of ‘ESOL in Manchester’ commissioned by LSC Sept 2007 May 2009 – ESOL: The New Approach introduced Locally identified priority ESOL learners ‘ …priority groups will vary in each locality, and …local authorities, and their partners, are best placed to know who the priority groups are.’

    5. The New Approach… Each LA has to write an Action Plan for ESOL Identify priority groups Consider gaps Pull together all funding and services Drive up demand amongst priority groups

    6. The New Approach… No additional funding available for implementing the new approach SFA will remain responsible for allocating current FE ESOL budget ‘The government’s new approach is not expected to affect funding levels to providers, certainly within the first year (2010/11); however, we do expect those providers who are delivering ESOL provision to change their methods of delivery, ie more intensive delivery, delivery within the community, evening and weekend delivery for those at work etc.’ (LSC)

    7. The New Approach… Likely to be s..l..o..w pace of change! Majority of funding from LSC/SFA Probable tension between PSA targets and LA priorities
