    Gillian Keegan MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Apprenticeships and Skills Sanctuary Buildings Great Smith Street Westminster London SW1P 3BT tel: 0370 000 2288 www.education.gov.uk/help/contactus 15 July 2020 Sir Dexter Hutt Birmingham Metropolitan College Jennens Road B4 7PS Dear Sir Dexter, I am writing following the intervention assessment of Birmingham Metropolitan College by the Further Education (FE) Commissioner’s team on 29 and 30 October 2019. Birmingham Metropolitan College has remained in formal intervention since July 2015, with areas of concern having included the college’s financial position, governance, leadership and quality of provision. Despite this long precedent, the FE Commissioner’s report describes the college as having made remarkable improvements, and it is clear that you, the interim principal and fellow members of the senior leadership team have been working diligently and effectively to implement rigorous and focussed strategies for improvement. The college’s financial position has been improved through staff restructuring and upgraded financial monitoring and control systems. It is greatly encouraging that these efforts have yielded promising results, and that the college’s financial health is forecast to improve to a ‘Good’ rating in 2021/22. I fully support the FE Commissioner’s recommendations to accelerate this financial recovery, including that the board works with the senior leadership team to agree the college’s target budget operating performance expectations for 2020/21 and 2021/22. The college’s implementation of the structure and prospects appraisal recommendations, and the clear strategic direction provided by you, the board and the senior leadership team to effect cultural change, has made reasonable progress to improve quality of provision throughout the college.

I did not wait for someone to hand me an opportunity - I went out and started a youth magazine. In it I shared my communities feelings and experiences as well as my own. And through this came my staunch belief and commitment to speaking up for and serving others. Quite simply - I believe in taking a stand, for what I believe in and to help those in need as well as protect others from harm.
