Welcome to the Framework for Excellence session, focusing on the shift from consultation to collaboration. This session will cover critical updates, including the inclusion of school sixth forms and the responsiveness to communities. We'll evaluate the current implementation of the Framework by colleges and work-based learning providers, and share insights from over 1,000 surveyed providers. Discussions will address finance and the Framework's position since 2010. Join us in shaping recommendations and enhancing education strategies for better community engagement and learner outcomes.
