NEW July 20110
HLTA/ funding

You will be aware that the new coalition government have made a number of cuts in education which have affected grants/budgets/funding that come into the Local Authority.

HLTA will no longer be funded by the TDA. Training might continue but we are in discussions at the moment to see how this will take shape and what cost schools or individual candidates would incur. HLTA applications that have been completed for the autumn 2010 term training will be kept on file. Schools will be updated as soon as the LA know how to move forward

Support staff who want a professional qualification i.e. NVQ L3 etc can still access these through Middlesbrough College and Middlesbrough Adult Education but again the LA is unable to offer funding, the schools or individual candidates will now incur the costs.

I am available to offer guidance and support on CPD but please be aware that there is currently no central funding to support activities as in the past.
