The recommendations in this report form part of the process in breaking down the barriers that prevent the Third Sector of Leeds from participating fully in the commissioning processes and bid successfully for funding to deliver highly efficient and effective public sector contracts.
Numerous barriers stand in the way of the Third Sector which the executive summary and the findings highlight. Certain themes appeared throughout the course of the research that highlighted that training activities need to be relevant to staff, board members and trustees of the diverse organisations within the Third Sector operating in Leeds.
Senior staff working in specific areas such as women’s services, Learning Disability and Black and Minority Ethnic support services raised concerns that they may be in danger of slipping off the commissioning agenda and face cultural barriers setting them at a greater disadvantage than most other Third Sector organisations.
