4. Succession Planning Definition:
Succession planning refers to procedures and processes designed to develop internal talent for the purpose of filling leadership and management positions once incumbents leave.
Succession planning is contrasted with replacement planning, the latter of which is a simpler process designed to identify potential candidates to replace managers. The former is a more complex area which, according to Charan, Drotter and Noel (2001), is concerned with building ‘feeder groups’ throughout the leadership pipeline.
Initiatives vary between being position-led (focusing on what people and skills are needed for the position) and person-led (identifying the skills and talents of an individual and seeing where these fit into the organisation).
Good succession planning often begins at the recruitment stage, where appropriate individuals can be marked for future leadership positions and their future development plans can be created with this in mind.

8. Levy – The Basics
The Apprenticeship Levy will be a levy on UK employers to fund new apprenticeships
The levy will be 0.5% of the pay bill, paid through PAYE
The levy allowance is not a cash payment and can only be used to purchase apprenticeship training
Any UK employer, in any sector, with a pay bill of more than £3 million per year is liable to pay the levy = Health and Social predicted Levy = £360m. North East = approx. £15m.
Employers in England who pay the levy and are committed to apprenticeship training will be able to get out more than they pay into the levy, through a top-up to their digital accounts = 10%
Apprenticeship levy funding will operate from 1 May 2017, whether you pay the levy or not.

9. Opportunities
Single funding band, regardless of the age of the learner, or geographic location
Levy will be able to be used for students studying lower qualifications (so even graduates could undertake a lower level apprenticeship) provided the training will allow them to acquire substantive new skills.
Employers that take on 16 to 18 year old on an apprenticeship framework or standard will an additional £1,000 to help meet the extra costs associated with this
Apprenticeship standards are employer-designed and offer employers and apprentices a more robust and relevant training experience.
If a levy-paying employer wants to invest more in apprenticeship training than they hold in their digital account has insufficient funding available in their digital account to meet the full costs of training, the employer should ‘co-invest’ 10% of the cost of the apprenticeship training and assessment and benefit from government funding to cover the remaining 90% of the cost

10. Opportunities Funds CAN be used for: Funds CANNOT be used for:
Training to achieve the apprenticeship, which could include qualifications, e- learning & vendor qualifications

Re-taking qualifications or assessment where no additional learning takes place
Apprentice recruitment and induction
