Welcome to the latest provider bulletin. West London Working is pleased to bring you this round up of national, London and local news.

During May we are conducting an evaluation of the West London Working Provider Confederation and we want to get your views and experiences.

The WLW Provider Confederation was established last year to help build the capacity and capability of employment and skills providers in West London. The key aim of the Confederation is to help smaller and third sector providers build relationships with each other and larger Prime Contractors, to take advantage of new employment and skills commissioning and contract opportunities. We have been doing this through networking events, specialist training sessions as well as regular communications like this e-bulletin.

We want to find out your views on the Confederation such as:

• How useful are these bulletins?
• If you have attended an event in the past – how did you rate it?
• What events and subject areas do you want covered in the future?

We have set up a short online questionnaire for you to complete which will take a couple of minutes. Click here to take part and we will let you know the outcome in a future e-bulletin.

Our next networking event is scheduled for June where we will focus on policy and practice for supporting parents into work and helping them stay there. If you have any examples or case studies that you would like to share then get in touch with caroline.masundire@rocketsciencelab.co.uk.

On behalf of the West London Alliance Boroughs, the London Borough of Ealing is seeking suitably skilled and experienced organisations to provide a minimum of 600 sustained jobs; and an end-to-end personalised support to workless residents from first contact with outreach services to on-the-job training and in-work support.
