COVID-19: update 24th March 2021
Since 8th March 2021, post-16 learning provision has been able to return to face-to face delivery. Testing is seen as key to the effective and safe return of learners, however over the past weeks Independent Training Providers (i.e., HLC & partners) have been awaiting clarity and further instruction from UK govt. re: testing arrangements.
At present community-based testing is available for post-16 learners and delivery staff via local authorities. Details of these have been circulated in our latest newsletter. If you require further advice or support please do not hesitate to contact your HLC Contract Manager or staff team.
On our ESFA-based mainstream provision, partners should start receiving testing kits from the week commencing 29th March and we will be liaising with the relevant partners about this over the next couple of weeks.
Over the past year, HLC, our partners, and learners have adapted well to remote teaching, learning, and support. To enhance this, we have a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for partners to use when delivering HLC-funded programmes. If this is of interest, please contact your relevant HLC contract manager for more details.
A number of good practice examples showcasing partners’ on-line / remote learning and support can be viewed in our regular e-bulletin: https://www.hlc-vol.org/whats-happening/
As has been the case since March 2020, HLC remains fully operational and we are conducting business as usual during normal office working hours, Monday to Friday. To get in touch with us, simply use the email address for your regular HLC staff contact. If you are unsure who that is, drop us a line at office@hlc-vol.org and we will ensure the relevant staff member contacts you.
The main switchboard 01482 327438 is also operating Monday to Friday (10am to 3pm). HLC staff members are also equipped to deal with enquiries and issues, as required, face-to-face via Zoom video meetings.
Thank you for your continued support.
