Choices

1. Do nothing – ask staff to ‘get on with it’

2. Schools within SERC to manage own vocational areas - AHOS to manage their own subject area

3. To manage the process as AHOS for School Partnerships – CCEA centre co-ordinator

Costs SP AHOS – current time/budget allocation

Staff costs incorporated within additional

duties

AL costs
