Public Noticeboard

This page provides information for and about our Post-16 Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) Group. It is supported as Project #10 in the 2025-2026 SESLIP Regional Improvement Plan.

The group is made up of the post-16 SEND lead for each local authority, representatives from Further Education (FE) and independent specialist colleges. It also includes regional representation from our supporting partners:  the Association of Colleges (AoC) and Natspec.

There is also a local authorities’ working group for PfA.

The Group is co-chaired by the head of a college and the SEND strategic lead from a local authority. The Group’s Terms of Reference can be found here.
