Robertsbridge Community College Provider Access Policy

We welcome visiting professionals to our College to broaden our students learning opportunities and enhance their knowledge of future career options. The policy, available for download below, sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997. 

The provider access legislation is new guidance that has come into force from January 2023. It is a key mechanism to further help learners understand and take-up, not just apprenticeships, but wider technical education options such as T-Levels and Higher Technical Qualifications.

The updated provider access legislation (PAL) specifies that we must provide at least six encounters for all our students:

• Two encounters for pupils during the ‘first key phase’ (year 8 or 9) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend
• Two encounters for pupils during the ‘second key phase’ (year 10 or 11) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend

In the context of the provider access legislation, a provider is an organisation that offers approved technical education qualifications or their representative, for example an FE college or training provider.

A provider, to whom access is given, must deliver an encounter that includes the following:​

• Information about the provider and the approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships that the provider offers​
• Information about the careers to which those technical education qualifications or apprenticeships might lead​
• A description of what learning or training with the provider is like​
• Responses to questions from the pupils about the provider or approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships.​
