Within the last year, we’ve seen significant shifts across the FE landscape – a new government, a new Secretary of State, and a new Minister for Skills. The sector has faced a series of consultations, major policy announcements, and increasing financial pressures. Riding the waves of change is nothing new for colleges, but in this conference, we’ll come together to make sense of the new landscape and explore how we can best support each other through it.

With Ofsted’s new inspection framework for further education now in force, alongside ongoing funding reforms and evolving accountability measures, this one day online conference will examine what these changes mean for colleges in practice. Bringing together key stakeholders and sector leaders, this online event will provide an overview of current challenges and opportunities in performance and accountability, share best practice from colleges, and explore how we can strike the right balance between robust accountability and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
