The voice of specialist further education

Natspec Innovation Awards

The Natspec Innovation Awards recognise and celebrate innovative practice in the specialist further education sector. They shine a light on initiatives that have clearly resulted in improved outcomes for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Throughout the year Natspec showcases the award-winning practice through webinars and peer exchanges and in articles and reports as part of our work to promote continuous improvement and raise standards in our sector.

If you have introduced new ways of working that have improved student outcomes, why not get involved?
