Description

London Councils is committed to fighting for more resources for London and getting the best possible deal for London's 33 councils. We lobby for local governance for London boroughs, promoting their leadership of local communities and services and argue for the tools necessary for them to do that job. We also act as a catalyst for effective sharing of practice, knowledge, information and services between boroughs.

Our Children and Young People policy team co-ordinates policy work and represents the interests of boroughs on a pan-London basis relating to all aspects of children's services. The aim of this lobbying role is to improve outcomes for all children and young people in the capital.

One of the team's projects for 2016/17 is based around the theme of ensuring fair funding for schools and education which reflects London's growing population and the boroughs' leadership role.

London Councils is seeking to commission a survey of school leaders across London to gauge their views on current challenges facing the education system from budget cuts to recruitment shortages; as well as the potential impact of proposed wide ranging education reforms, such as the introduction of a National Formula Funding for schools and the plans to expand and create new grammar schools.

Further information on the research objectives as well outputs required are provided in the Invitation To Tender document accompanying this notice and hosted on our website at http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/node/30673. Here you will also find accompanying FOI and Equal Opportunities documentation that is to be submitted as part of your bid.
