SDN Apprenticeship Summit – Quality and Compliance: laying strong foundations for the year ahead

We’re delighted to invite you to a 1.5 hour online Summit – open to all those leading, managing and delivering apprenticeship training – from independent training providers, employer-providers, FE Colleges, Universities, Local Authority and third sector providers.

Reviewing your approach to quality and compliance – and how it works together – has never been more important. Whether it’s governance, apprentice support, retention or achievement, the priorities of the ESFA and Ofsted have become increasingly aligned.

Added to this, a new government will mean new changes for our sector. Providers will need a robust quality and compliance strategy that can adapt to change and work across different programmes.

So how can you make sure you have the right foundations in place? How can you make sure your approach to quality and compliance is robust and agile?

That’s what this year’s free online Apprenticeship Summit is all about.

Join two industry-leading specialists – Louise Doyle and David Lockhart-Hawkins – on 17 September (1.00-2.30pm) as they explore:

• How we can we make sure the fundamentals of quality assurance, improvement and compliance are in place
• How we can we make sure these are in sync and work together
• How we can develop our strategy, teams and processes to be agile and ready for change

Lou is CEO of Mesma and SDN’s quality and inspection specialist. Louise has worked with hundreds of apprenticeship providers across the country to review and improve their provision.

David, SDN’s compliance expert and MD of Lockhart Hawkins, has over 20 years experience working with apprenticeship providers. His in-depth understanding compliance, alongside curriculum design and quality, gives him a unique insight into how it all fits together.
