Recommendation 15
Welcome to our mini-site on Recommendation 15. Recommendation 15 comes from the review of the post 16 LSC arrangements for Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. An event was held to launch Recommendation 15 on April 29th 2009.
Hazel Mackintosh, Suffolk LSC, presentation
Mark Bayley, First East, presentation
As a recommendation from that event (included in above report), there was a need to identify/initiate networks in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft on the four following areas to support organisations to better support their clients/service users in employment and skills pathways:
- Jobseekers
- Upskilling the employed
- Information, Advice and Guidance
- Specialist support
These have been identified. See ATTACHED REC. 15 WRAP REPORT for full details.
For individuals interested in:
Specialist support network- please contact Nick Morgan-Baker who is leading work (with Ian Rowe of Suffolk County Council) on another recommendation within this scheme of LSC project work looking at specialist support.
Jobseekers support network - see 'Jobcentre Plus Partnership Forum' on our Partnerships page.
Upskilling the employed - see 'Great Yarmouth Employment and Skills Sub-group' and 'Waveney Learning Community' on our Partnerships page.
Information, Advice and Guidance - see 'Information, Advice and Guidance' on our Partnerships page. There is also a Norfolk and Suffolk cluster of the Nextstep (IAG) contract network facilitated by Suffolk County Council. Email Veronica Gibbons for more information. Norfolk Guidance Services are also involved in resurrecting this network in the East of Norfolk and Suffolk - please contact Sid Sidhu for more information and see attached for local contacts.
