PROVIDER ACCESS STATEMENT 

​

 

Introduction

This policy statement sets out Abbey Manor College’s arrangements for managing the access of post-16 providers to all year groups, to enable students to make fully informed rational education and career pathway decisions.   

 

We believe in building strong relationships with local schools with a sixth form, further education and sixth form colleges, apprenticeship providers, universities and employers.  Our careers programme includes a large number of opportunities for external providers to talk to and interact with students and their parents, ensuring they are aware of vocational and technical pathways and opportunities as well as academic ones. 

 

Continuing Professional Development is used to ensure careers advisers, tutors and other members of staff are up-to-date in their knowledge of the full range of post-16 opportunities available to students.

 

Provider Access Requests

Providers wishing to request access should contact Naomi Marley, Careers Leader.

 

Opportunities for Access:

All providers are welcome to contact us to discuss how they would like to support and contribute to careers provision for our students.   They may like to get involved in activities and events, such as: careers fairs, assemblies, careers information evenings, ‘I Love My Job’ talks, employer speed networking, mock interviews, CV Writing, potential opportunities post 16 and so on.

 

Any provider taking part in an existing careers event/activity or a new one will be supported by our teaching staff throughout their visit and not left unattended.  We will discuss space requirements with providers and make available appropriate IT and other resources to support presentations.

 

Providers are welcome to leave copies of their prospectus or course literature and we will distribute them to appropriate students and make them available in our Careers Library.  We can promote and distribute details of careers and apprenticeship literature and vacancies to all relevant students and parents through direct email, using our MIS or promotion in our termly newsletter.
