News - 'A Woman's Place' Planning Workshops

Who would benefit from attending?

There are practical implications in A New Approach for the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) / Skills Funding Agency (SFA), ESOL providers, the Third Sector and local authorities. The workshops will provide the opportunity to hear about the policy context, find out how to engage women from settled minority ethnic communities with language needs and have the opportunity to discuss the practical implications for planning to meet the requirements of A New Approach.

Please note: This event will not be relevant for ESOL teachers who have no responsibility for planning or management of provision or for those working in regions other than where the workshop is held.
