SUMMARY:Apprenticeship compliance for leaders
DESCRIPTION:“An apprenticeship deliverer is only going to be compliant if they understand the real risks within their organisation”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis in-depth webinar series digs deeply into the realities of apprenticeship compliance.\nDesigned for managers and leaders who want strategies for apprenticeship compliance\, these sessions bring to life the knowledge and understanding of the core rules and funding methodologies. Beyond the basic rules\, you’ll look at the foundations of compliance across your organisation\, and how curriculum\, evidence system design and monitoring of implementation are integral to getting compliance right while also strengthening quality.\n\n \n\n\nAt the end of the series\, you will: \n\n\n\n\n\n 	Be able to critically evaluate compliance in your own area of operation\n 	Have developed your understanding of best practice for reducing risk\n 	Increased your knowledge of common errors and how to avoid them\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll take you through: \n\n\n\n\n\n 	Key compliance principles – How it all should work\n 	Risk in areas of operation\n 	Managing the risk of rogue elements within your organisation\n 	Safeguarding funding through the apprentice journey – the data needed\n 	The three R’s\, Right programme\, Right learner\, and Right employer\n 	Compliance strategies\n 	Common strategic errors\n\n\n \n\nAbout your session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Lockhart-Hawkins\, SDN’s funding and compliance specialist will facilitate this series. After working in the sector for over 25 years\, David has supported hundreds of providers to establish effective compliance systems. His in-depth understanding of funding and wider apprenticeship delivery gives him a unique insight into compliance across the organisation.\n\nWe’ve built this series so that providers can send middle and senior managers from all departments and areas on an intensive high-level compliance journey so that they can bring new ideas and best practice examples back into their organisations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe highly recommend that you attend our Apprenticeship compliance fundamentals and what this means for your role series prior to attending these webinars. This will introduce all apprenticeship staff to the core apprenticeship rules and where their role fits in the compliance journey.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Gave me a better understanding of how to improve quality through compliance audits and reviews within the company.”\n\n“Very insightful\, lots of great knowledge and handouts to help.”\n\n– Previous event attendees\n\n\nBooking and payment: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can either attend live sessions or be sent the recordings and materials if you prefer to review them in your own time. You can also mix and match for whatever works best for your schedule.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have several staff who would benefit\, let us know and we’ll send you details of the most cost-effective way of accessing the session.\n\nIf you’re a public sector body (e.g. Local Authority)\, and unable to book via card\, please email us. When you make a booking\, you agree to these Terms and Conditions (including those who request a booking via email and invoice)\n\nSDN Mesma Group PD is designed for Government funded Training Providers. If you’re not a Government funded Training Provider but are still interested in attending please email events@strategicdevelopmentnetwork.co.uk to discuss your attendance in more detail before booking.
