The document summarizes the consultation process to establish a Guild for the Learning and Skills Sector. It discusses key milestones such as producing the consultation document, the formal consultation period, and developing an implementation plan. It also summarizes feedback received through an online survey and focus groups that generally supported the idea. The proposed Guild would focus on professional standards and development. It would have a small executive team and rely on partnerships. It would be established as a company limited by guarantee with strong sector governance. Initial funding would come from direct grants, moving to a levy-based system over time.

1 Focus on aspects associated with professionalism, including defining workforce qualifications and standards, continuous professional development, research into teaching and learning, sharing best practice and leadership and management.
2 Have a relatively small executive team and rely much more on partnership, commissioning and other forms of cross sector work to fulfil its mission.
3 Be set up as a Company Limited by Guarantee, but with very strong sector involvement in governance and the work of the Guild, via robust sector direction, engagement and consultation processes.
Possible structure Legal Members AoC, AELP + Advisory/ Consultative Guild Board Group Standing Practitioner Engagement Committees 3 or 4
4 Have a guiding principle of covering everyone working in the sector, although resource constraints and other factors might result in there needing to be an initial focus on teaching and learning staff and those directly supporting learner outcomes.
5 Be based on providers in the sector being part of the Guild, but keep open the possibility of developing an individual practitioner recognition scheme in the future, should the sector decide it would be valuable.
Guild who is it for? Guild should only cover those Guild should cover who directly deliver and support teaching and learning OR all staff . and assessment. Overarching principle - should aim to encompass all staff Caveats: May initially have to concentrate on the teaching, learning, assessing and direct support staff. Not duplicating standards of the other specialist professional bodies - could signpost and or contextualise them. Equally: areas such as equality and diversity, new technologies and customer service relevant to all staff.
6 Adopt a phased approach to funding, initially based on a direct grant to ensure a successful initiation and initial operation of the Guild, but progressively moving to a levy-based approach. Further self-funding opportunities could be considered for later years.
Interim arrangements Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) recruited by open competition; end- dated December 2013. Initial shadow Board with phased migration plan to the permanent Board by April 2014. Interim CEO and shadow Board start to build the proposed operational structures.
Name should it be changed? Should we change both parts? Seems to be consensus that at least change the FE tag. If so what collegeacademy.allianceinstitute.or non specific? Learning and Skills instead of FE?
