Quality of Training
Teacher evaluations are an essential feature of the programme and these will be monitored by the tutor and form part of the feedback process. A sample of teacher evaluations will be selected by Local Authorities and provided for comment and these will be passed to phase managers for review and recommendation.

Teachers will be asked to complete forms at the end of each module to comment on quality of teaching, tutoring, support, materials and overall delivery style.

Designated lead personnel will monitor the performance of trainers, tutors and support staff throughout the programme. Local Authorities will be invited to contribute to this process.

Where there is cause for concern with regard to individual performance, this will be passed to appropriate managers for action. The partnership intends to ensure that all participants receive equal value from the programme through consistent quality standards.

Administration and Management of Training
Designated members of the steering group will take responsibility for monitoring arrangements for management and administration of the programme. Participating Local Authorities will be asked to report on the robustness and transparency of the management and administrative processes.
