Are there any rules concerning providers’ use of PPD collaborative funding?
There are specific requirements set out under criterion seven concerning supplying management information and impact evaluation reports to the TDA. There are also expectations linked to the allocation to support collaborative funding. These concern the identification of a ‘partnership manager’ (who will be first point of contact for the TDA) and the organisation of appropriate attendance at PPD events. More broadly, the expectation is that the collaborative funds should be used to support the coordination of PPD activities across partnerships and to support further development of the provider partnership to address emerging regional or national issues over the life of the funding round. Beyond these requirements, providers are free to use PPD funding in the way they feel best supports their work.
