Analysis of the primary evidence gathered is then considered against the curriculum supply information provided by WG on the full time further education and work based learning offers across the region. A key element of this stage was the development of a sub-group consisting of senior representatives from the providers across the region and the industry chairs of the aforementioned cluster groups. The creation of this group allowed for key discussions to take place ensuring that recommendations made were mutually beneficial and accepted by both parties.
1.3 Limitations & Factors for Consideration
When reading this document a number of factors should be considered, these are;
• As per the specification from WG this plan only serves to make recommendations on full time vocational provision and elements of work based learning. The RLSP appreciates that this is a small portion of the post-16 offer available within the region as it does not consider school level provision, A-level provision, the current higher education offer or adult and community learning. It is the hope of the RLSP to produce a regional plan which fully comprehends the entirety of the post-16 landscape, fully addressing these limitations in future iterations with the support of WG.
• The employer evidence included in the sector profiles should be regarded as the views of solely the employers that the RLSP engaged with during this process (either through cluster group meetings, survey responses or interviews) and not the industries as a whole.
