Following the recent publication of ALP’s paper on support for 16/17 year olds, DCSF have arranged to meet with ALP next week to discuss its concerns about the future of the e2e programme. They have suggested they have some proposals which should deal with providers’ concerns.
ALP Chief Executive, Graham Hoyle, commented, "I am delighted that the Department is anxious to discuss our concerns as a matter of urgency, and look forward to what they have to say. Hopefully there will be some positive news to report in a future Countdown, hopefully not before too long."
