Access Practitioner Group Meetings

These meetings enable Access tutors and staff from different centres to share information and ideas. There are meetings each term and we try to hold them in at least three separate venues so that colleagues can get to a meeting relatively close to their base. The AVA sets the agenda but welcomes suggestions and input from Access staff working in centres.
