We understand the challenges faced in today's ever-changing policy environment.  We contribute to development of sector policy, including providing feedback to the DfE on the academy programme policy, speak regularly at education conferences, contribute to a range of publications and support key sector events.

To complement the information we provide on our education services pages, we also offer a dedicated Education News section, which provides the latest updates, insights, and expert analysis on developments within the education sector, ensuring you are well-informed and up-to-date.
