Who is the guide for?

It is for everyone who needs to understand LSC demand-led funding: in particular, those who plan and deliver provision in school sixth forms, training providers, and further education colleges. It covers the new 2008/09 national funding formula and demand-led models for school sixth forms, further education (16–18 and adult), Apprenticeships, Entry to Employment and Train to Gain provision.

You need to know what the changes mean for you – now!

Edexcel have worked with Nick Linford (Director of Planning and Performance, Lewisham College, and a member of the LSC funding advisory group) to produce this guide which explains the changes in simple terms. It is written as a reference tool which will guide you smoothly through the demand-led funding system. It is split into sections, each covering one topic, to make it simple to navigate.
