We are thrilled to announce an upcoming half day online conference hosted by Whole School ºÚÁÏÍø as part of the Universal ºÚÁÏÍø Service Contract funded by the DfE, free to attend.

This event is a response to feedback from the education workforce following the Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) Review Guide Regional Training delivered in 2023 and will be a celebration of everything schools and colleges are already doing and can do to support learners with ºÚÁÏÍø in their preparation for adulthood.
