In this one-off online webinar in partnership with Refugee Education UK, we will focus on place-based approaches to enabling access to education for children seeking safety, particularly those who arrive aged 14+ or in the middle of the school year.
In recent years, we have seen more challenges to access to education for children seeking safety from across our networks, particularly those who arrive in their mid-late teens or in the middle of the academic year.
With schools, colleges and local authorities facing multiple pressures and challenges too, what approaches, practices or partnerships can they adopt to centre the right to education for children seeking safety and enable their access to and participation in meaningful education?
In this one hour webinar, participants will learn about the key findings of research conducted by Refugee Education UK and the Bell Foundation into education provision for newly arrived displaced adolescents, before hearing from different practitioners about promising models and approaches to overcome barriers to accessing and thriving in education.
This event is aimed at people from local education authorities, FE Colleges, schools and community groups and the third sector.
