The learner voice network is a great opportunity for colleagues with a passion for promoting the learner voice to get together to share ideas and exchange practice. it’s aimed at anyone in a Natspec member college or affiliate organisation who has responsibility for learner voice in their setting or who would like to know more and get involved in learner voice work. We welcome anyone new to all of this, including anyone just beginning or planning to develop learner voice work in their college. It’s a great opportunity to learn from others who have been working in this field for a while and are doing great work in making sure all their learner’s voices are heard within their colleges and wider afield.
The network also plays an important role in supporting members of the Natspec Student Voice Parliament.
Networks are hosted by member colleges and usually meets approximately three times a year. The meeting are usually run in a hybrid format so attendees can choose to attend in person or join online.
Outside of the network meetings, colleagues can ask questions and access support via our student voice and student parliament discussion forum.
This network is run by Andrew Evans, Natspec Learner voice co-ordinator and Learning programmes coordinator at National Star. If you have suggestions for any topics you’d like to see covered, or your college would like to host a future network, please email Andrew.Evans@natspec.org.uk
