National Charity Ambitious About Autism launch "Finished with School" Report and Campaign...

 

...highlighting the need to improve educational opportunities for young people with autism.

We wholeheartedly support the report and campaign and you can find out more here.

 

We want better lives for people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities.

 

We think that great practitioners support great outcomes, and that the outstanding practice of some can become the expectation and experience of all.

We know the biggest difference we can make is to develop the ability of each individual and/or organisation to provide each person with the help and support they need to learn, thrive, choose.... and ultimately to get the life they want.

 

We are about:

  • Developing individual practitioners to deliver great outcomes for  children, young people and adults

  • Helping organisations translate  visions and statements of intent into reality for the people they support

  • Finding out what works, what could  be done better and supporting you to make it all happen

How does your Provision Measure up to the Ofsted Post 16 Progression Review?

 

The  latest report from Ofsted makes it clear that a greater focus on destinations and outcomes is required to make learning more personalised.

The problem is there are so many competing priorities and, with limits on time and resources, it is sometimes difficult to  get  to find the time to consider the implications.

If you want to get a quick overview of where you are this resource: "Ofsted Post 16 Progression Review: How do we measure up? - An Initial checklist" is  a good place to start.

We have analysed the  key themes from the Ofsted report and presented  them as a series of key questions to help you consider what is "working" and what might be "needed in the future".

This is a hands on practical tool that you can use right away to consider how you can continue to focus on outcomes.

It is ready to go you can download it and complete  it with your management team to get a quick overview of what the  key implications of the Ofsted review might be for your provision.

Just fill in your name and Email in the form below and we will get it straight to you

(Just so you know we will NEVER share, sell or otherwise pass on your e-mail for any reason.)
