Thriving in Adult Education - Amanda Robinson

I currently work for Wolverhampton council as an EET advisor for children and young people in care as part of the virtual schools. I currently support 19+ young people and when I started in the role, I went to visit all local colleges and providers to have a look around and see where I would refer my young people to.
When I attended Adult Education Wolverhampton, I found the setting very calm, friendly and all the staff very approachable. The classrooms are very open, and the reception has a nice welcoming open space and the outside seating was also nice. I have now referred over 10 young people to the courses and all have been successful and settled into the setting, I found student services go above and beyond for their students there regardless of this being an adult setting.


Adults get nervous too when going to new places and meeting new people but they would come outside to meet the young people, show them their classroom and just have a chat to settle them in each day. They respond to all emails and calls regarding my young people and understand the importance of safeguarding.
