  • Transport Policy Statements for Students in Further Education Aged 16–18 and Continuing Students Aged 19. Name of LEA : Hampshire Department Responsible: Education
    Transport policy statements for students in further education aged 16–18 and continuing students aged 19. Name of LEA : Hampshire Department Responsible: Education Hampshire County Council 2017/18 Transport policy statement for students in further education aged 16-19, continuing students and young people aged 19-24 with learning disabilities 1. Commitment Hampshire County Council and its post 16 providers are committed to ensuring transport is available to enable students to access education and training as set out in this policy statement. Support is provided either by the County Council or post 16 providers. This policy statement applies for 2017/18 only and sets out the support available. There is no automatic entitlement to free home to school or college transport once a student is over 16. The authority has considered its resources and the travel to college opportunities for students. Students can attend a college of choice and, if needed apply to their college’s student support for assistance. The cost and mechanical process of transporting young people with special educational needs is greater and more complex. HCC recognises that families may need a transport service to ensure that 16+ SEN students can access a place that is suitable for their needs and so do offer, under discretionary powers, a transport service that requires an annual parental contribution. 2. General transport available There are a number of public transport service providers in Hampshire. Colleges and schools in Hampshire have their own transport arrangements but the situation does vary. Students should check with their establishment about the transport arrangements and ticketing prices that can apply to both bus and train travel.

  • Funding for Equivalent Or Lower Qualifications (Elqs)
    Funding for equivalent or lower qualifications (ELQs) Submission to Innovation, Universities and Skills Select Committee Introduction The University and College Union (UCU) represents more than 120,000 academics, lecturers, trainers, instructors, researchers, managers, administrators, computer staff, librarians and postgraduates in universities, colleges, prisons, adult education and training organizations across the UK. We have consulted with UCU members, practitioners and vice-chancellors on the ELQ funding withdrawal and the following response draws upon the views of this diverse constituency. Executive summary 1. The UCU is strongly opposed to the withdrawal of ELQ funding. 2. The policy will undermine, rather than bolster, the Leitch agenda and government objectives to raise higher level skills and widen participation. 3. Abolishing public support for a huge swathe of ELQ places will lead to large and differential increases in the tuition fees paid by UK/EU students. 4. There is little evidence to suggest that employers will be willing to plug the funding gaps, both in terms of supporting students and co-funded HE programmes. 5. The consequences of the ELQ withdrawal will be reduced participation in HE, particularly from part-time students. 6. The withdrawal of funding will disproportionately disadvantage women returners and older learners. 7. While the Open University and Birkbeck College are hardest hit, the cuts in funding affect a wide variety of universities and departments – often those which have done most to widen participation. 8. Specialist expertise and infrastructure in adult, part-time HE may be permanently damaged as a result of the ELQ policy, hitting both first time and second time HE students.
