NNECL webinar: Supporting our students' success and social capital development
Supporting our students' success and social capital development through inclusive teaching practice and programmes of support
Event Details
In this webinar, NNECL members University of Law and University of Sunderland will share how a whole institution approach as well as the language we use in higher and further education can impact on a young person from a care background.
We are delighted to be joined by Corin Barton (University of Law) and Wendy Price (University of Sunderland) who will give an overview of how their proactive and inclusive internal training, polices and programmes enable staff across their universities, to better support their learners from care, estranged and seeking asylum backgrounds.
