About the event
The Office for Civil Society (OCS) has engaged LG Improvement and Development and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) to deliver a comprehensive training programme for commissioners and finance staff across the public sector.
Level two comprises two major plenary sessions that will set the strategy of the new policy agenda and extend the role of the community, voluntary, charitable and social enterprise sectors.
There will be a series of master classes conducted by recognized experts.
These courses will increase awareness and understanding of:
- the third sector
- help improve engagement
- enable greater access to specialist knowledge that will benefit the delivery of public services.
Level One has been successfully delivered to over 300 delegates across England and Wales.
Objectives
Level two aims to develop your skills and provide a detailed understanding of the technical and practical issues involved in enabling more effective engagement with the community, voluntary, charitable and social enterprise sectors.
Who should attend?
This training is aimed at experienced commissioning and finance officers, especially those who participated in phase one of the National Programme for Third Sector Commissioning (NPTSC) and those who have attended level one events.

Equality and diversity
The LG Group operates an equal access policy to events, and endeavours to meet delegates' requirements wherever possible. We can provide infomation in different formats as requested. Due to the pressures on the provision of BSL interpreters, the LG Group will need six weeks' notice to provide this service.
