Authorisation Process • and Plans
The Authorisation Process Capability and capacity will be demonstrated through a combination of self-assessment, submission of evidence, clarification process and ‘Board to Board’ assessment • The diagram below summarises the current thinking of the proposed authorisation process. Each stage will strike a balance between robustness and proportionality. Proposed authorisation process Review of evidence Clarification process and pre-meets Framework Guidance Issued Self-assessment Submission of evidence ‘Board-to-Board’ assessment Joint production of LETB Authorisation Framework between HEE and key stakeholders. LETB engagement will be achieved through interviews, multi-LETB conference calls and workshops. LETBs will self assess their progress against criteria and identify where they need development. The framework should be sufficiently designed to allow LETBs to assess which gaps they themselves need to fill in order to meet the criteria. Once LETBs are satisfied they can either demonstrate how they will meet the required thresholds they will submit documentary evidence to support their position. HEE will review the evidence supplied, assess it against the evaluation criteria. Key areas for consideration will be identified and a decision taken on whether what LETBs need to do to move onto the next stage. Clarification of the submission as necessary will take place between HEE and LETBs. Individual sessions between HEE and LETB staff may be required. Feedback on submission will also be provided. Once LETBs submitted evidence is sufficient to suggest that they would be capable of operating with devolved authority a ‘Board-to-Board’ assessment session will be held to discuss the submission and consider potential scenarios and case studies. Authorised
Principles of AuthorisationA set of principles underpinning the development of the authorisation process have been proposed Safe Transfer - Supports a safe transfer of functions from SHA to LETB Transformational Outlook – LETBs must demonstrate intent to deliver material improvements to Education and Training Outcomes Outcome Led- LETBS must be focused on delivering outcomes in line with the Education Outcomes Framework and relevant to their local area Robustness- The process must be robust in genuinely assessing LETB capability and capacity Proportionality- The process must recognise the evolving nature of the LETBs and be proportionate to the risks Equitable- A process that fairly and equitably delivers outcomes appropriate for differing LETB readiness for authorisation
Domain StructureThe Authorisation process will expect LETBs to demonstrate capability and capacity against six different domain areas.
NW Appraisal • A key strength is that we started 8 months ago • Lots we can build on and lots we have learnt • Now need to re-fresh and revise • Strong emphasis on stakeholder engagement, capacity and capability
Authorisation is a process of gaining assurance that each LETB is ready to make effective decisions in a way that engages with all relevant stakeholders to ensure security of supply of the workforce, and has appropriate governance arrangements to support this and deal with conflicts of interest as and when they arise. There are likely to be three possible outcomes: Fully Authorised- LETBs have demonstrated they are capable of taking on all responsibilities delegated to them. Authorised with conditions- LETBs have demonstrated they are capable of taking on some, but not all of the responsibilities delegated to them, and must meet certain conditions before assuming full responsibility. Not authorised- LETBs have not demonstrated they are capable of taking on delegated responsibilities. A future assessment of readiness for delegation will be required. LETB Authorisation TimetableThe current focus of work is to define and clearly communicate the process through which LETBs will be authorised. 5th April 2012 Framework design begins Late June 2012 Guidance issued July 2012 Guidance published April 2013 LETBs formally begin operations Self-assessment July-October 2012 Authorisation Process (Oct 2012-March 2013) Current focus of work
Education Commissioning Plan 2013-14 • To meet the requirements of the authorisation process • 2 stage consultation – • 1st stage July/August - to guide development of draft plan • 2nd stage August/September – to test assumptions in draft plan • Integrated with workforce planning process • Provider focused
‘What are your organisations key priorities and challenges for education and training?’ • Short Term – 1 year • Medium Term – 1 to 3 years • Long Term – 4 years plus • Consider within context of patient need in relation to : • service change/transformation • Profession specific requirements • Whole workforce • New roles and new ways of working • Education capacity and capability
