This statement sets out the arrangements for managing the access of providers to students at the Sixth Form for the purposes of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997 (Baker Clause).
Our events, integrated into the sixth form’s careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come into the Sixth Form to speak to students and/or their parents.
Examples of opportunities available for employers/providers to attend are:
- Pop-up opportunities for promoting volunteering/jobs and work experience
- Employer/Provider visits to small group sessions, assemblies, or workshops
- Parents /open days and freshers Fair events
- Annual Career fair on Higher education and Apprenticeship.
We make our building available to allow access between the provider and students, as appropriate to the activity. Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus in our library. SBU6’s policies on safeguarding will be followed by providers accessing our premises as visitors to talk to our students.
A provider wishing to request access can contact:
Caron Bernard Head of Careers and Student Services
Sharon Carnegie Vice Principal Student Experience
