Further education providers are participating in a national awareness campaign this week, The Power of Specialist FE, which aims to highlight the vital provision being offered to learners with more complex needs across the country.

Preferred questions: 

  • What steps is the Government taking to ensure specialist further education is recognised as an essential part of the education and skills system? 
  • How does the Government intend to support and resource collaboration between specialist and general FE colleges to strengthen inclusion across the sector? 
  • Will the Government commit to giving access to capital funding to specialist colleges, which are currently excluded from the FE capital transformation fund? 
  • What plans are in place to give equal access to transport support for 16 – 19 year olds with SEND so that travel is not a barrier to participation in further education? 
  • What plans does the Government have to expand existing post-16 outcomes measures so they more meaningfully reflect the broad range of achievements of learners with SEND, including those with more complex needs?
