Association of Colleges

11 March 2008

All Locations

DIUS has just published a series of proposals that it wishes to consult on, in partnership with AoC.  Free consultation events are being planned, which will allow colleges to assess and comment on the impact of the new measures proposed - these include new self evaluation and risk assessment by colleges, a differentiated approach, the benefits of a multi-faith chaplaincy, links with community leaders, and guidelines on encouraging debate, cultural mixing, and further promoting the shared values that colleges already use to underpin their multi-cultural, multi-racial communities of learners.

Location

11 March 2008 - Central Hall, Westminster, London

Main speakers

Vicki Fagg, Principal, College of North West London
Bill Rammell, Minister of State for Lifelong Learning and Further and Higher Education (DIUS)
