Minutes of previous meeting Minutes: Agreed as a true and accurate record of the meeting.

Matters arising Minutes: All London Councils have questioned the DWP about the Apprenticeship levy, as there is no clear guidance on whether the payroll costs of community schools will count towards the council’s salaries total and thus to its liability for the levy. If they are, then it will be necessary to establish whether the levy costs will be passed on to community schools and, if so, how they can then access apprenticeship funding.
Any other matters arising are addressed in the agenda items for this meeting.
