Subject: Freedom of Information request - SFA Funding

Dear City of Sunderland College,

You will be aware that paragraph 12 of the SFA Funding Rules
2012/13 is newly revised and states that "Where the Agency has made
a full contribution to the costs of a Learner's programme,
Providers must not make compulsory charges to employers or Learners
for any delivery of the learning activity funded by the Agency.
This includes: administration, registration, assessment, materials
or examination costs whether incurred directly by the Provider or
charged by other organisations such as awarding organisations. This
includes charges for identification passes, uniforms, tools and
material where without them, a learner cannot complete and achieve
their learning aim."

Please can you provide me with the following information:

1. The estimated cost to the college of implementing these
requirements in the year ahead
2. Copies of any papers, including at Corporation level, pertaining
to the implementation of these requirements
3. Can you make clear whether you are intending to apply these
standards to other provision in the college, and specifically
whether you intend to implement for EFA funded provision

You will also be aware of changes to the required Instrument &
Articles for the college that give it freedom to adopt new
structures and practices.

Please can you provide me with the following information:

1. The number of student members of the corporation at present
2. The existing methodology in use for their
appointment/selection/election
3. If there are any plans to change the number, or methodology for
their appointment/selection/election

Yours faithfully,

Jim Dickinson
