AoC responds to Government announcement on minimum service levels

David Hughes, chief executive, Association of Colleges said:

“We will engage with Department for Education to help ensure that colleges working with AoC or SFCA (if they are sixth form colleges) can achieve a voluntary agreement on minimum services during strike action. If DfE were to move ahead with regulations, we’ll be pushing to ensure that the specific circumstances of colleges are covered and that there aren’t overlapping rules resulting from their dual rule in education of young people under the age of 18 and higher education provision.”
