Getting to Grips with Self-Regulation Conference - 23 Sept 08

Keynote Speakers:

John Taylor, Director of the Self-Regulation Project Team, and Paul Eeles, National Development Manager for the Association of Learning Providers and Member of the Self-Regulation Project Team will be our Keynote Speakers at the event.

Overview:

In a speech to the 2006 AoC Annual Conference, the Secretary of State for Education and Skills issued a challenge to the further education sector to take collective responsibility for its own future destiny and reputation and thus forge a new relationship with Government.  Under the chairmanship of Sir George Sweeney, the Self-Regulation Implementation Group has been working to develop proposals to make self-regulation a reality.

The Self-Regulation Project has been extended until September 2008 to continue work around the following work strands:

1.  Establishing a self-sustaining Single Voice

2.  Performance Management in a self-regulating FE system

3.  Establishing effective relationships with regard to sector-led activities and external agencies/ stakeholders


Afternoon Seminars:

Delegates will have an opportunity to attend two facilitator-led seminars during the afternoon session which will cover areas linked to the self-regulation agenda.
