The experiences shared by students @HomefieldCol demonstrate how vital post-16 transport is for learners with SEND. When transport is withdrawn, skills, confidence, and independence can be lost. youtube.com/watch?v=7CAAlr…

Great to see Laurence Turner MP mention Victoria College during Education Questions yesterday, raising the crucial issue of capital funding for specialist FE colleges. We're encouraged by the Minister's agreement to meet and look forward to the next steps @larry_turner

What a shame Isos didn’t ask @Natspec about the impact of Safety Valve agreements on colleges & post-16 students. We could have told them about unwillingness to place in specialist colleges, undue pressure to cease EHCPs, reluctance to fund therapies… assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686e3331…

A temporary fix to a systemic problem - govt didn’t really have a choice short of writing debt off completely. Any future funding solutions have to work for colleges too - building HN into national 16 to 19 formula would be a start

Our keynote at #NatspecNC25 this morning looks at policy. Currently, we're hearing from Dame Christine Lenehan about the vision for a more inclusive SEND system, and how post-16 is already in a better place, but where can we go from here?

A lovely evening with @Natspec, special award to the national deaf college for innovation, and thanks to Lynette Barrett @TheNationalStar who is standing down as chair. What a special organisation making a difference for SEND students.
