EHP consists of two sections; a ring-fenced amount by the National College for you to attend New Visions programme which entered its final cohort in October 2009, and £1,300 flexible grant for personal development.    The EHP grant is available to spend until 31st March 2011. Details of the EHP grant and how to get it can be found on the National College website.

Learning reviews

Learning reviews:  We are able to support you with a learning review to identify your development needs and help you plan the use of your EHP grant and access the available opportunities. We can arrange for one of our experienced facilitators to visit you or you can use the online learning review and receive telephone support from a facilitator. To access the online learning review, you will need a username and password from EMLC. To obtain these, please contact us.  

Third party providers

The EHP grant can also be used to fund other development opportunities that you wish to follow in order to help you carry out your new role effectively. A number of opportunities are provided by EMLC  and you may also access support from other providers. We handle payments to other providers so you will need to contact EMLC to ensure that any invoices from other providers can be paid from your EHP grant.
