The Government has announced that all Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), including SEEDA, will close by 31 March 2012.
Responsibility for economic development and regeneration in England is being passed onto successor bodies, including Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and central Government departments
Our objective is to ensure a professional and cost effective closure by this date. We have pledged to work closely with our partners, contractors and stakeholders to ensure that the past and future economic benefits of key programmes and assets continue to deliver the greatest economic value for the South East and value for money for the taxpayer.

Redundancy support
The Rapid Response Service (RRS) provides support to those affected by redundancy. It is a rapid, coherent and effective service for those employees who are under threat of redundancy and offers a range of practical advice and guidance to help companies support their employees during downsizing or closure. The service is managed by Jobcentre Plus, one of SEEDA's key partners, and provides access to a team of experienced brokers who have extensive knowledge of the labour market and who can offer advice and guidance tailored to meet the needs of employers and employees alike.
For further information about this service, please contact the Regional Rapid Response Manager, at Jobcentre Plus, on 01483 446078.
