This week saw the end of a very long road as Chris White’s Social Value Bill finally made it through the House of Lords. Will it be a game changer as White hopes? We take a close look on the blog this week. We’ve also seen the launch of the Social Enterprise Qualification: Can this inject a spirit of social enterprise into our schools? Foolish as it might be to pass judgement so early, Tom Cropper gives it a very good go. We also have information about the upcoming SOCAP conference in Malmo, the latest jobs and a roundup of the news. Have a great weekend, Tom Cropper A grand House of Commons event saw the launch of the Social Enterprise Qualification. Its aim is to inspire young people to take up social enterprise, provide them with skills and an accredited qualification for their CV. But do we need it? Contact us if you would like to be featured on our next newsletter.
