Purpose of the Network
The key purpose of the Network is to support staff involved in the planning and implementation of guidance and student support services, including those with the key responsibility for ensuring the access and inclusion of learners with a diverse range of needs, into all aspects of college life. It’s a supportive, solution focused network that acts as a strategic voice on behalf of the sector, provides a sounding board for CDN and stakeholders, shares practice and provides an opportunity to meet and influence policy makers.
