DELIVERING THE PLACEMENT Funding and approvals for placements do not need to be confirmed at Expression of Interest stage. However, we are more likely to be able to offer placements to Authorities that can demonstrate greater levels of certainty over funding, approvals, senior level buy-in and HR support.

How will the placement fee and Associate’s salary be funded, and is funding already secured?

Please confirm you are able to attend one of these dates.

The contractual start date for placements is 1 October 2019.

Associates will attend an induction training course on the week commencing 31 September 2019. Associates will join Authorities from 4 October 2019.

Whilst on placement, Associates will be required to attend the Public Practice Research & Development Programme within their contracted hours.

Each R&D day is hosted by an Authority on the Placement Programme. Please confirm you are able to provide a venue to host up to 30 Associates for one day.

Authorities are required to pay a placement fee to Public Practice when an Associate is placed with them. The placement fee is £5000 (+VAT) for 12 month placements and £7000 (+VAT) for 18 month placements.

If you have any questions regarding the eligibility criteria, please get in contact with us at info@publicpractice.org.uk.
