Services 4 Schools Market Research
Children's Services and the County Council are currently considering options to improve the quality of its services schools purchase from the Local Authority. This is being done through a Services 4 Schools project which is particularly focusing on the following services which play a key role in supporting 'A Good School for Every Norfolk Learner':
- NIEAS Teaching and Learning Services
- NIEAS Governor Services
- Schools Finance
- Schools HR
- Schools ICT
An important next step in the Services 4 Schools project is to seek the views of schools, academies and sponsors on Services 4 Schools and we have engaged JTD Consulting to undertake this task. JTD Consulting specialise in the review and implementation of services that trade with schools, having successfully undertaken assignments with Manchester, North Yorkshire, Bristol, Plymouth and East Sussex.
Starting on Monday 10 November Simon Withington from JTD consulting will be contacting a sample of schools for feedback face to face, by telephone or by e mail. If you are contacted, the interview in person or over the phone will generally take between 30 minutes (phone) and 45 minutes (face to face). Your assistance and support for this important market research would be greatly appreciated and may I thank you in advance should you be contacted.
