Details
This guidance explains the aim and purpose of Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs), the process for developing them, and who should be involved. It reflects broader changes in the skills landscape, including the creation of Skills England and the strategic direction outlined in the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper.
It also explains how LSIPs connect with other local and national plans and contains details about how designated Employer Representative Bodies (ERBs) and Strategic Authorities are expected to work together in advance of the legislative changes needed to implement the joint ownership model announced in the English Devolution White Paper.
It is designed for:
- designated ERBs who must have regard to this guidance in line with the terms and conditions of their designation
- Strategic Authorities who will have a vital role to play as the joint ownership model is established
- further and higher education providers
- local stakeholders, including local authorities, employers and sector bodies
