The UK VET system 414 General Further Education and Sixth Form Colleges with over 3 million learners aged National Specialist Colleges 40% of year olds studying at a college; 13.3% from disadvantaged background 20% of Black and Ethnic minority students in colleges, compared to 13% in the population → diverse mix of students Work-based Learning and Adult and Community Learning providers

Disabled learners (age 16-24) in UK VET 56% not in employment, education or training compared to 23% of non-disabled population → problem to access course Disproportionate number on low level course (Level1 or entry courses) → inadequate assessment of skills Risk of potential cuts to lower level courses No dedicated financial support for disabled learners as compared to Higher Education 48% employment rate compared to 78% of general population

Experience of disabled learners “I’ve had to fight for reasonable adjustments, handouts in large print on coloured paper and a large screen monitor, and am seriously considering quitting because of the way I’ve been treated and them generally acting as though they know more about my needs than what I or my consultant do.’ (National Union of Students focus group participant, 2008)

The support of Q4S One-stop shop for learners Informs them on available guidance Raises their confidence to self-promote their agenda Helps them assess and understand their requirements Provides valuable disclosure advice etc. → Learners are empowered! Useful for teacher training
