As in previous years, ALW provided excellent opportunities to publicise the ESF programme. For example:
The ESF Managing Authority worked closely with NIACE on all aspects of ALW, in particular how ESF support could be promoted most effectively. A highlight was the national launch ceremony on 19 May at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London, where awards were presented to the national ESF winners.
At a regional level, Government Office ESF teams and ESF Co-financing Organisations worked closely with NIACE on the selection of ESF award winners, the organisation of regional awards events and publicising the winners stories.
