14 Questions for Decision How should the capacity funding be used to have most impact? How do we split the delivery funding and KPIs? Topslicing? Do we just allocate funding for Year One, or Years One to Three at this point? How will we co-ordinate applications from each LA / SSP area? What information do we need on application forms? How will applications be assessed / prioritised? How will we communicate the above information to Partners?
