Session Outline

• Introduction, expectations re gateway process

• Overview of Diploma requirements / QCA criteria / self assessment form

• Partnership / individual activity


Key messages:

• Success will be dependent on partnerships demonstrating they have rigorous and compelling plans to prepare for delivery of the diplomas

• DfES expect providers to deliver Diplomas as part of a collaborative local partnership, rather than acting in isolation

• Each partnership submits proposal to LA • LA likely to have to make judgment on bid prior to

forwarding to DfES (ie determine strengths and rationale)

• Submission to Eileen Chapman (email [email protected]) BY 21st NOVEMBER 2007


Essential features:

• Need to demonstrate clear understanding of each diploma line to be offered

• Asked to provide a lead contact for the gateway process for single channel of communication (this does not mean a lead institution)

• Can concentrate on particular Diplomas – do not have to deliver all 5 new lines (or all 5 from round 1)

• Keen to see partnerships offer all 3 levels at the same time, but not ‘absolute’ requirement. Expect progression routes to be in place by the time young people complete their diplomas


What will you need to provide?The bids will have 3 parts:1. Partnership information form2. Generic summary – your partnerships 14-19 strategy;

how your partnership is planning to meet the entitlement by 2013; partnership strategies for workforce development, employer engagement, IAG, facilities

3. Details for delivery of each specific diploma

We are surmising that they will still requireA full self assessment for each area for each diploma line,

rating green, amber/green, amber/red or red and explaining:– Where you are now– What you need to do by September 2009– How you are going to bridge the gap

School Improvement Service in Partnership with Lincolnshire County CouncilWhat do you have to do?

• Remember that the bid is being prepared on behalf of the whole partnership – the bid does not belong exclusively to the lead contacts or their institution

• Clarity of roles and responsibilities - ensure that roles of FE / WBL/ Schools / employers are appropriately identified

• Check you understand what the diploma requirements are – use statements of content and QCA criteria

• Carry out an internal self assessment against the 5 criteria – identify what is happening now – an honest appraisal of where you are now – grade each criteria

• Identify where the gaps are between what you have in place / are doing now, and what is needed

• State what you intend to do to in order to address those areas – ie a development plan • Clear statements with factual examples • Ensure that all gateway criteria are addressed• Assume no knowledge by reader!• Essential that each bid is ‘signed off’ by strategy group• Get someone to proof read• Continue with your planning once bid submitted – don’t wait for results

The Diploma in Hair and Beauty will combine a range of generic and specific theory, knowledge and practice, related to employment within the hair, beauty and related industries to steer learners down an applied learning route.

• Demonstrate that you are providing current and relevant IAG on range of careers and opportunities available including employment across the diploma sector

• Demonstrate how you will ensure equality of access for all learners – see pages 34-35 of the DDP specification. How will you tackle stereotyping eg use of role models?

• Demonstrate effective links with the relevant sectors to ensure that IAG reflects local provision and opportunities

• All staff delivering the diploma, even if only a single unit will need to understand the diploma and the potential progression routes – see pages 29 – 33 of the DDP specification for information on progression routes
