Learner Evaluation of Learning Experience Forms
2009-10 and the Prize Draw!
Thank you to all the
Partners who have contributed in ensuring the feedback forms
are returned and to all the learners who took the time to
complete the forms. Enable has had an 18% increase in
the number of forms received compared to the previous year. As
you will be aware all learner names are put into a prize draw
from which 2 learners are picked at random. O one had
been at Steps (City) and the other at Mansfield CVS (County).
The feedback received by Enable will be used as part of
continuous improvement to inform Enable’s Self-Assessment
Report (SAR) and in due course, Partners will receive their
own individual reports relating to the feedback received.
Where Partners contract with Enable for delivery, it is
mandatory to complete the forms. For 2010-11, following
discussions at the Learner Involvement Strategy Group, in
addition to completing feedback at the end of the delivery,
two additional forms have been introduced to complete, at the
start and middle (dependent on length of delivery).
Feedback can be completed using hard copies of forms or on
line. Any queries please refer to your contract or
contact your Contract Manager.

ERIC the
Bus
Emda are interested in expressions of
interest regarding the future deployment and ownership of
ERIC, the fully kitted out articulated lorry used by Career
Chain as a remote-working careers guidance
facility. As Career Chain ends in March 2011, emda
are keen for ERIC to still be used for the benefit of projects
and individuals. They would be keen to hear from any
educational establishment or public sector organisation who
wishes to take ownership of ERIC from April 2011.
