Service:
Education & Skills Funding Agency Provision for those aged 16-18.
Skills & Learning Adult Community Education is the merged local authority adult learning
service covering all of Bournemouth, Dorset, Christchurch & Poole.
It holds a contract for the delivery of Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) funded

People.
