2016-17 SESLIP Subscriptions

At the SE ADCS Meeting on 13th November, there as an initial dicussion about the content, budget and subscription levels for SESLIP in 2016-17. The SESLIP Steering Group meets next on 11th January 2016, and it will make recommendations to the next SE ADCS Meeting on 15th January 2016. There are new pressures on the budget arising from (amongst other things): the success of the Leadership Development, and the spending of the inherited legacy funds (75K over two years); calls on the benchmarking group to establish more indicators; the success of the Early Help and SEND groups; demand to further develop the Children’s Social Care Workforce initiatives. As a reminder, the current subscription is 12,500 per county and 6,250 per unitary.

If you have any thoughts about what the programme should include (or exclude) and how the subscription level might be pitched, please conact Janette Karklins or Stuart Gallimore.
