I've been so bogged down in ESF funding applications recently, both SE and London Region, that I have had my fill of all these documents and no time left over for the "luxury" of reading yet another one carefully. Do the gov bodies realise the amount of paper they make us read through in detail and cross ref with our applications? I know Co-Financing is supposed to reduce the actual application paperwork, but we will still have to read the Regional Development Plan, Regional Economic Strategy, all the regional statistics, etc, to put in a decent application. As I said in my contribution to Nigel's other discussion forum, we have to get Gov agencies to work our way, not just more of the same. Incidentally, the SVSC ESF funded mentoring course covered interested ground about thinking styles. An extension of this is that the way in which civil servants et al formulate their consultation and evaluation frameworks is designed around their way of thinking and is totally opaque to many of their target users, so does not have a hope of acheiving the professed aims. It will of course achieve the aim of ticking boxes to show they have taken steps to consult people, but this gets rather circular...!

I read the (draft) RES but found the language extremely discouraging. If SEEDA want to build partnership, they need to communicate in ways potential partners can understand.
