Presumably this is from a suppliers' perspective rather than assessment
and matching of resources to need perspective...

I agree that the different branches of the DfES, BECTa and DWP have much
to learn from each other in administering DSA, Additional Learning
Support (FE), CAP and ATW, and, to a lesser extent COL (Curriculum
OnLine). But as a supplier to all of them, on the whole I would think
that it is the DSA that has got things the best worked out in terms of
efficiency, meeting consumer needs and protecting the public purse. DSA
has had a head start. Which is not to say it has nothing to learn from
the others.
But they all have assessors, users, funders, suppliers and government
departments involved, and there has been a lot of wheel reinventing all
round. (Actually, some of the wheels have turned out pretty oval!). How
to get all involved to learn from each other? A conference, anybody?
Would anyone come?
