PVI funds to buy places on HCS courses. The Private
Independent and Voluntary Sector in Hertfordshire can use up
to 50% of places on HCS courses fully funded.
A recent report showed that out of 1578 places in total (HCS
and PVI staff) 789 were available to the PVI - yet the PVI only
took up 575 places, this represents 36.4 % and 214 places
were funded but unused.
