John ChristieSummary
Connexions is a multi-agency partnership providing information
advice and guidance to all 13 – 19 year olds through a range
of providers supported by direct government grant. Presently
Connexions is provided in West London by an independent company
– Connexions Partnership London West Limited – but due
to the urgent need to restructure the Company Board has recommended
that a confederation model be implemented as quickly as possible.
Under this model Brent Council would assume financial and legal
responsibility for the Connexions service in the borough. The new
model will ensure a tax efficient structure and be in line with
proposals for the Connexions service set out in the Children Bill.
This report seeks agreement to the introduction of a confederation
model of operation for the Connexions Service in Brent.Related reports
