This call is now closed. Please do not submit an application for this call. The information provided on this page is for reference purposes only.

Details

Activity should involve a range of relevant integrated actions to ensure that individuals affected by multiple disadvantages receive appropriate support to give opportunities that will facilitate progression to skills development and employment.

The main focus of activity under this call needs to address three main aims for those individuals and families at risk. These are:

  • Prevention: to prevent or minimise the risk of long term issues/problems which culminate in an inability to seek and hold down employment;

  • Early intervention: targeting resources on individuals or groups at high risk, or showing early signs of a problem, to try to stop it occurring; early remedial treatment;

  • Intervening: once there is a problem, to stop it getting worse and redress the situation.

The programme(s) should be individually focused and flexible to the needs and differences across each LA area. It may best be supported by a Key Worker model, developing active links between people working on the mainstream programmes and this project. Applicants are encouraged to consider a wide range of innovative delivery models.

Project activity must be easily accessible across the whole sub-region and therefore take account of the mixed geography of Cheshire and Warrington. Applicants should demonstrate how they will ensure effective coverage and support for people in rural areas.

This call for ESF investment has been issued with a complementary call under ESF Investment Priority (IP) 1.2. OC03S18P1133. Applicants can apply against both or individual calls, Investment Priorities 1.2 (Sustainable Integration of Young People into the Labour Market) and IP 1.4 (Active Inclusion).
