General Update & Themes Philippa Lyon, CFO Policy Lead
CFO Focus • Hard to reach – general emphasis • Difference between sub-groups and target groups • ESF priorities and indicators • Progress focus – not necessarily hard outcome achievement • Sub-groups – delivery expectations
CFO Delivery • Custody and community – 50:50 • Final prison list • Expectations of activity pre-July – to Dec 2015 • CFO – not a traditional ‘programme’ • National elements – approach to delivery
Stakeholders • Regional stakeholder engagement • Points of contact – custody, community, wider • LEPs and Opt-ins • ESF Managing Authority – 2014-20 Operational Programme
Alignment • Adding value – avoiding duplication • Custody and community • Development Fund • CRCs and NPS • ESF Operational Programme • Final specifications
General themes At next stage - • ESF – publicity, audit and regulations • Evidence requirements • Specialist delivery – some over-reliance on partners • Differentiation for sub-group delivery e.g. mental health • Young people/young adults and NEETs Opportunity to speak to specialist reps today
Procurement process - Next steps Simon Ambrose – Ministry of Justice Commercial Directorate

Staff transfers – current contracts • Unlikely that an exemption will be applied (similar to that which was applied as part of the TR Programme) • Authority neutral on application of TUPE (Commercial consideration, case-by-case, business to business etc) • Probable that pension protection of some kind will apply to former Probation / CRC staff on transfer • Details still being finalised; further updates to follow
