Website improvements
We have updated the LSC changes page where you can find out about what happens with working with local authorities and the Skills Funding Agency now that the LSC has been dismantled.
We have also broken up the result pages for the Directory searches and Funding page so that instead of a whole mass of information, you can click easily from page to page. We will now be able to refer you to specific pages on the Funding page (see above in ‘New funds added’ section).
If you have any other comments about our website and how we can improve things further, please contact us as we would love to hear from you.
