Relicensing review

A detailed evaluation of the SSC relicensing process has taken place.  The main aims of this review were to:

  1. To establish if the SSC relicensing process was delivered in an efficient and effective manner and to identify any areas for improvement to inform future reviews.  
  2. To establish if participant Sector Skills Councils and stakeholders believe the process was delivered in accordance with its published objectives.
  3. To identify what benefits/impacts (if any) SSCs derived from the SSC relicensing process both as a result of preparation for relicensing, the process of assessment itself and as a consequence of the relicensing decision.
  4. To establish to what extent SSCs and stakeholders believe the remit of SSCs is clearer and better understood as a result of the SSC relicensing process.

 

Findings from the evaluation show that:

  • 75% of those responding to the quantitative survey were satisfied with the rigour of the process.
  • 72% were satisfied with the overall fairness of the final decisions and ratings including 100% of SSC Chairs and Board members and most Chief Executives (63%).
  • 86% felt that the NAO were an appropriate choice as an independent Third Party Assessor.
  • 69% of SSC staff felt that the process had added value to their work as an SSC.
