Action on Access 2012

Action on Access, despite the ending of the HEFCE-funding for a national coordination team from 31 December 2011, will continue to act in a very similar capacity for the benefit of everyone working to ensure fair and equal participation in higher education, and towards the aim of achieving the most inclusive and diverse institutions delivering, and key organisations supporting UK higher education.

We will however be working in somewhat different ways as, like the sector as whole we are constrained by significant reductions in our funding, but are excited by:

new opportunities to work across the UK as well as in England and Northern Ireland
work with our new host NIACE to develop and expand our support to those working with part-time and adult learners in HE
our new Action on Access Associates Network
our freedom from constraints in the past arising out of our major funding source being the HEFCE.

Action on Access Associates Network 2012

Action on Access launched this new network, in a very low key way, or more accurately we announced our intention to bring together and coordinate the work of a new capacity building and consultative network, the Action on Access Associates Network. This is intended to be one new mechanism to ensure that despite the ending of the HEFCE funding for a WP national coordination Action on Access will continue its important role as a national coordinator and facilitator in this uncertain and turbulent landscape. 43 people signed up for this network, or at least to attend a first meeting, at the summit and since then responding to a Jiscmail invitation the number wanting to join such a network so far has grown to an astonishing 78 in the last three weeks.
