Access to HE Practitioner Forum 2026

Join us at Northern College on 25 March (09.30–16.15) for the Access to HE Practitioner Forum 2026, a practitioner-focused event for those delivering and supporting Access to HE provision. The day will feature a keynote from Claire Swales (QAA), exploring current developments and emerging thinking across Access to HE.

The Forum will focus on sharing good practice through active, practitioner-led workshops, alongside structured opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and networking with colleagues from across the sector. Final agenda will be published in due course.

Attendance is free for Skills and Education Group Access–approved Access to HE centre staff. Places are limited and the Forum has been fully booked in previous years, so early booking is recommended to secure your place.
For those who would prefer to travel to the event the night before, a reminder that Northern College is a residential college, with a limited number of on-site rooms available on a bed and breakfast basis at £60 per night. Rooms should be booked directly with the college.
The deadline for booking is Friday 27th February. Please ensure you complete your booking by then.
