Important change is on the horizon for public sector grant funding, with recent news that the Subsidy Control Act 2022 will become fully effective from 4th January 2023.
In this free webinar, two in-house Council lawyers will look at the implications for local and combined authorities. The session will cover:
• What is a subsidy?
• Why does it matter?
• What will change under the Act?
• How to award a subsidy compliantly
• Top tips for dealing with subsidy control at your authority
There will also be a number of exam style scenarios for attendees to (hopefully!) put their learning into practice, by voting on whether particular scenarios involve a subsidy or not. Delegates will also have the opportunity to pose questions of our speakers at the end of the session.
