Commissioning for Changing Times

As part of the Commissioning for Changing Times series funded by MLA Strategic Commissioning, Campaign for Learning ran a series of free training events between September 2010 and January 2011 for cultural sector and children's workforce professionals across regions of England. This training offered organisations working across these sectors a practical insight into what commissioning is, why it's important, and how it can be an essential 'tool' to help your organisation be sustainable through a tough economic climate.

An online pack and snapshot guide are now available to download, for anyone who was unable to attend the training, and for those looking to learn how to become involved with commissioning.

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.  Continue reading
