Details

ESF action notes are formal communications issued to inform all Grant Recipients (GR) about specific issues they need to act on.

Action Notes may support updates of eligibility rules and programme guidance documents drawing attention to specific rules or requirements that are either new or have been modified. Others may focus on more technical information or one off requests and opportunities the managing authority needs to make a GR aware of or potentially act on.

Action notes are separate from and do not replace:

• funding agreement terms
• published ESF (or European Structural Investment Fund) eligibility rules
• programme guidance
• other requirements in documents published on GOV.UK.

How to receive Action Notes

If you would like to receive the Action Notes, please email your details to ESF.2014-2020@dwp.gov.uk and include ‘Action Notes’ in the subject heading.

Queries about ESF Action Notes

If you have queries about ESF Action Notes please email
esf.2014-2020@dwp.gov.uk or if you are an ESF GR contact your contract manager.
