The wait is over. Arts Council England (on behalf of the DfE) has announced the new Hub Lead Organisations, which come into effect in September. A list of the 40+ organisations is available on the ACE website, as is a map showing their new geographical responsibilities. The process of appointing HLOs for London South West and South Yorkshire continues, though the decision on these is due in July.
The incoming HLOs are to be warmly congratulated, of course. Inevitably, other organisations will be disappointed, and the ramifications for staff across the sector will be unclear after such a major reorganisation. This month's MT carries general advice on employment matters, but there are bound to be many questions, affecting all areas, over the coming months. Among these is how the £25 million instrument fund is to be spent (for clues, make sure to read next month's issue).
