"A very different Policy Watch this week. In the light of continuing debate about how complicated the skills system is in England and what all the different bits are, Policy Watch has compiled a 'Who Does What Guide' in the English Skills System."

"In creating this, it uncovers...

• 4 planning and funding bodies;
• 4 regulatory/inspection agencies;
• 9 bodies representing or supporting providers;
• 10 support agencies;
• 12 strategic bodies;
• 16 separate support mechanisms"

"A simple explanatory paragraph is provided on each which hopefully does each justice. Unfortunately it runs to 20 pages but there is a diagram at the beginning."

"The Guide covers both 14 - 19 as well as post 19 components so could be used across the board"

Prepared by Steve Besley, Head of Policy, Edexcel.

Edexcel Policy Watch is a service intended to alert busy colleagues to national developments that might interest them.
