This training is taking place over two consecutive days this year, please also ensure you’re booked onto day two.
Are you planning to open, or have you recently opened, new education provision for post-16 or post-19 students with SEND? Or do you work at an established specialist college but are new to the FE sector, perhaps having come from the school or social care sectors?
Many new providers, or professionals who have not worked in specialist further education before, have been surprised and shocked at how much they have had to change or introduce as a result of setting up or working in an ESFA funded college.
“Becoming a college changed our whole perspective and culture.” Therese Timberlake, ROC College, Part of United Response, Devon
“I never realised how much I didn’t know about specialist FE provision – I’ve learnt so much” Sarah Jones, Willow Tree Centre
“I would recommend this training to anyone considering setting up a specialist college” Nick Kandola, Great Oaks College
If you are new to specialist post-16 further education, this 2-day event is for you. Each session will guide you through aspects of the sector and give you advice and guidance to ensure quality provision.
Agenda:
On day one, we’ll be covering topics such as looking at your place in the FE sector; lessons learnt from those who have set up new provisions; safeguarding; group discussions and activities relevant to your areas
Day two will include understanding Ofsted inspection; leadership & governance; curriculum; staffing structures; brief introduction to funding, contracting, data management and the ILR
