Redundancy Response Fund

A portion of the Higher Level Skills Partnership (HLSP) is being redesigned to address the needs of the economic downturn. The HLSP has ring fenced £400,000 of development funding to establish the HLSP Redundancy Response Fund. The fund will be used to commission the development of responsive CPD provision to meet the needs of those at risk of redundancy, those recently made redundant, and new graduates unable to find employment.

For further information on the HLSP Redundancy Response Fund, please contact Dr. Celia Brigg on cbrigg@nwua.ac.uk or 0161 234 8880.
