SUMMARY:16 to 19 Bursary and Free Meals in FE Requirements
DESCRIPTION:The Department for Education (DfE) has raised growing concerns about providers’ ability to evidence compliance with 16–19 Bursary Funding and Free Meals in Further Education Funding. As part of its 2024/25 funding assurance approach\, the DfE has already carried out a series of focused reviews – and scrutiny in these areas is only set to increase. \nWith funding assurance firmly in the spotlight\, providers must be confident that their processes\, controls and evidence will stand up to challenge. \nJoin us live on 11 February 2026\, 10.30am–12.00pm\, or watch on demand at a time that suits you\, for a practical\, insight-led webinar designed to help you stay compliant\, audit-ready and protected. \nLed by Lisa Smith and Emma Gipson from RSM UK\, this session will move beyond guidance and focus on what providers actually need to do in response to recent reviews. Drawing directly on real assurance activity\, our expert speakers will guide you through: \n\nThe most common compliance gaps identified during recent DfE reviews\nWhat these findings mean for 2025/26 funding assurance\nWhat good evidence really looks like in practice\nPractical\, actionable steps to strengthen internal processes and documentation\nHow to minimise the risk of funding clawback and ensure consistency across your organisation\n\n  \nYou’ll leave with greater clarity\, practical examples\, and the confidence that your approach to bursaries and free meals is robust\, defensible and future-proofed. \nThis essential session is ideal for senior leaders\, finance teams\, MIS and funding staff\, compliance leads\, and anyone responsible for audit readiness or oversight of 16–19 provision. \nIf you’re responsible for protecting funding in an increasingly challenging assurance landscape\, this is a session you can’t afford to miss.

SUMMARY:Practical Strategies for Developing Powerful Change Conversations
DESCRIPTION:In today’s challenging world\, educators are facing unprecedented hurdles. Teachers are working harder than ever to instil good learning habits\, while managers spend valuable time supporting staff who have low resilience. \nThe long-term impacts of social media\, COVID and global uncertainties have created a perfect storm\, leading to low resilience in staff and a worrying trend of stress and unhappiness in young people. \nWe know that a feeling of hopelessness and dreams that are unrealistic can block progress and prevent the development of positive mindsets. So\, how can we create new narratives that inspire hope in young people and give educators the strategies to strengthen resilience? \nWhat to expect? \nThis session offers a breakthrough by utilising Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). Defined as the “art and science of personal excellence” and used by individuals and businesses across the globe to overcome fears and achieve more\, NLP provides practical tools for creating emotionally intelligent conversations and fostering positive change. \nThis session will show you how to apply these techniques with integrity in your work\, helping move staff and young people from an unsatisfactory state to them being able to achieve a successful outcome. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nBuild Rapport: Explore the sensory awareness and flexible behaviours needed for effective communication and change.\nChange Limiting Beliefs: Understand the strong connection between beliefs and positive outcomes\, learning how to challenge self-limiting beliefs.\nMaster Language: Practice powerful questioning and positive framing to challenge unhelpful assumptions.\n\n  \nWho should attend? \nIf you are a teacher\, leader\, manager or member of support staff keen to try a new approach\, this session is for you. \nBreak free from the negative cycles of self-criticism\, eroded self-belief\, and passive compliance. This training will help you enter a virtuous circle of self-belief and committed\, values-driven motivation\, enabling you to achieve the outcomes you desire\, both for yourself and your learners. \nDon’t miss out on this exciting opportunity – register now to book your place! Unable to join us live? Don’t worry\, sign up and watch on demand.
