Funding Reform and Localism Steering Group

The Funding Reform and Localism Steering Group (FRLSG) has been established to help the SFA develop a simpler, more locally responsive funding system for adult skills, excluding apprenticeships.

Membership of the group includes representation from LEPs, combined authorities, the FE sector and their membership organisations. The group meets monthly and is chaired by Dr Ann Limb CBE, Chair of South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP).

Any communications about the group or its work should be directed to the SFA, not directly to the Chair.

We publish a list of dates for these meetings on the SFA: funding systems information and guidance programme page.
