Further Education Colleges
Image in Action has worked extensively in Colleges of Further Education. We have planned and led SRE projects, worked with staff and supported policy development.
In 2010, the Department of Health funded the development of a resource for FE college staff about setting up and leading SRE programmes with college learners with additional needs which we have called Going Further. It is FREE to download.
Going Further
Going Further has been published by Image in Action with funding from the Department of Health and will be useful for staff working with learners with moderate learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorders. It is aimed at learners aged 16+ however, other young people may find some of the activities fun and relevant. With adaptation, some of the activities can be used with learners with severe learning disabilities.
The resource is in two parts in PDF format and is FREE to download. It is subject to copyright restrictions.
