LSC National Office (NO) regularly received requests for the national E2E provider list by companies seeking to sell their products to providers. In addition, local LSCs are beginning to receive similar requests or are discovering good examples of products, specialist centres or providers, which may be of benefit to E2E providers and learners.

Clearly the LSC cannot endorse any particular provider or product, but to allow the sharing of potential good practice or effective products, NO will occasionally forward information to local LSC E2E contacts. This information may then be forwarded to the E2E providers in your local LSC area. Rather than be repeatedly contacted by companies, this screening process will allow the E2E providers to have the choice to have dealings with any companies.

We have recently received contacts from the following:
