Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 20 July 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what the terms of reference are of each sector skills council; and what assessment he has made of the performance by each in fulfilling its remit.
The terms of reference for all Sector Skills Councils (SSC) focuses on raising employer engagement, demand and investment in skills; a lead role in collating and communicating authoritative labour market information; and, a lead role in vocational qualifications, apprenticeship frameworks and national occupational standards. In addition each SSC business plan sets out the sectoral objectives specific to the needs of their employers and industries. In 2009/10 all SSCs went through a high performance assessment undertaken by the National Audit Office and the UK Commission to ensure they can deliver against the core remit. The business plans, assessment reports and skills audits of all SSCs are available in the public domain.
