What will schools, colleges, training providers, Local Authorities and the Learning and Skills Council need to do?
The responsibilities of different local partners have been set out in the Education and Inspections Bill. Ensuring that all courses are available in a local area will be the responsibility of the Local Authority (in relation to 14-16 year olds) and the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) (in relation to 16-19 year olds). Schools will be responsible for ensuring all 14-16 year olds on their roll have access to the full entitlement. No institution acting alone will be able to offer the full entitlement. So, schools, colleges and training providers will need to work together with Local Authorities and the LSC about how to offer more between them than any one institution could on its own.
