Session Outline
• Introduction, expectations re gateway process
• Overview of Diploma requirements / QCA criteria / self assessment form
• Partnership / individual activity
School Improvement Service in Partnership with Lincolnshire County Council
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
School Improvement Service in Partnership with Lincolnshire County Council
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 partnership’s 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

Components of DiplomaPrincipal Learning
Specific to each diploma – approx 50% of time should be ‘applied learning’ (application in work or work related contexts)
Generic learning
Functional skills En / MA / ICT assessed as discrete units
Personal, learning and thinking skills – embedded in principal learning
Project – assessed discretely
Work experience
Planning and Review
Additional / specialist Learning
Additional GCSE / A level /other academic qualifications
Sector specific qualifications – specialism / complementary
Optional units
In 2008 – these will be drawn from existing qualifications

Resources and Facilities
• Must provide a Realistic Learning Environment (RLE) reflecting that found in a commercial workplace
• Conform to H&S legislation and commercial practice• Range of services, tools, products up to date and available for use• Learners need to dress appropriately for the environment they are in
School Improvement Service in Partnership with Lincolnshire County Council
Workforce• Audit current workforce experience and qualifications against each
principal learning topic – identify strengths and shortfalls• What additional training will be needed – plans for doing this eg
updating with regard to current practice by time in professional establishment
• What new recruits needed? – plans for this
School Improvement Service in Partnership with Lincolnshire County Council
Local Employer engagementEBP:
• Raising awareness among employers

parent/student nights; taster sessions; marketing materials to support the young person’s selection
• Offering work experience placements• Providing professional development opportunities for teachers and other deliverers.• Engaging in work related learning opportunities (e.g. employability workshops;
workplace simulation/role play; work shadowing; debating sessions; industry days; survey investigation/case studies; job application and interview simulation; careers investigation; and school ambassadors)
• Contributing to the development of learning materials to support the diploma.• Sponsorship of or involvement in the project element of the diploma• Becoming a mentor to learners (either face to face or virtually)• Fielding employees to Summer Schools run at local universities for Level 3 learners• Fielding employees to attend regional awards ceremonies for project groups• Donating tools and equipment to give learners as realistic an experience as

Information, Advice and Guidance
• Use the overview provided by Connexions as a starting point - this focuses on generic current activity. BUT, you will also need to:
• Show how you are keeping IAG current and up to date
• 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 51-52 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 41 – 50 of the DDP specification for information on progression routes
