We have considered the implications for the 36 Skills Advisory Panels across the country and will not make any changes at this time.

Our reforms will build on the work the Panels have been doing to date to understand local skills needs, including the Local Skills Reports due to be published at the end of March. We plan to continue funding all Panels, including Sheffield City Region’s Skills Advisory Network, as we trailblaze Local Skills Improvement Plans in a small number of areas.
