Original consultation

Summary

We’re seeking views on detailed proposals for using and publishing new outcome based success measures for adult further education.

This consultation ran from
1pm on 30 September 2015 to 11:45pm on 2 December 2015

Consultation description

This consultation sets out detailed proposals for using new outcome based measures of performance for publicly funded post-19 education and skills, excluding higher education. It builds on the findings of our earlier consultation published in August 2014.

The consultation looks at:

• using the measures for accountability and intervention as part of the minimum standards framework
• how local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) and local authorities can use the new measures as part of local outcome agreements with providers
• how we might best present and publish the measures to help learners, employers, LEPs and providers

A new set of experimental data on these measures is published alongside this consultation.
