Dear Chris,

Please find our replies to your questions below which I have highlighted
in red.  I attach our most up to date management structure which is likely
to undergo one or two tweaks shortly though the broad thrust will remain
as it is.

Let me know if you need any further information.

Ian

 

 

 

Dear Woodhouse College,

I am writing to remind you of my previous open government request for all
the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.
The response to my request is long overdue. By law, under all
circumstances, you should have responded by now.
In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as
specifically as possible.
Please can you provide information on the following:
1. Does your organisation use a Learning Management System and e-learning
provision for employee / staff training?  We do not have a proprietary LMS
if by that you mean a VLE.  We use e-learning for staff who join us
mid-year and miss our usual safeguarding input.  This is provided by
Barnet Council.  We use Home Office materials for Prevent training.
2. If no, are there ongoing plans to purchase a Learning Management System
and e-learning provision for employee training in the near future? Not
beyond what has been outlined.
3. What is the name of the Learning Management System (product name) and
which company is it purchased from? See 1. above.
4. Provide brief information of the current e-learning courses that are
used in employee training.  See 1.above.
5. Who provides the e-learning courses that are used in employee training?
See 1. Above.
6. Provide the development themes of the eLearning courses that are used
in employee training (i.e. Compliance, Safeguarding, etc.)  See 1. Above.
7. Value of the current contract, date of commencement and date of expiry.
  There is no contract that I am aware of and the materials are provided
free of charge. 
8. Who is responsible for ensuring the LMS and e-learning provision meets
the local authorities training requirements?  So far as I understand this,
these do not apply to us as we are a sixth form college.
9. Can you please provide your current organisational structure for the
college. 

If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could
contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise
and assist requesters. If any of this information is already in the public
domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if
necessary.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20
working days after receipt, however I would be grateful if you could
confirm that you have received this request.
If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be
happy to clarify what I am asking for.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
