Community engagement

We get involved

UK Recruitment and Access gets involved with the community in a variety of ways.

We:

work with extended schools as part of the government’s extended schools programme
are involved with supporting the Francis Combe Academy and a number of trust schools
help Year 6 children at local schools learn about crucial life skills as part of the Crucial Crew project
offer a vocational opportunities day to support students with learning and/or behavioural difficulties to understand what career paths are available and raise awareness about the progression pathways into vocational qualifications
have held events for the local community, including events for Year 9 and Year 12 parents and a Community Action Day where staff and students delivered activities and workshops in venues including libraries, schools and shops

The University interacts with primary and secondary schools and colleges through a range of voluntary activities including governance.

A forum has been established to support university members who are interested in becoming or are currently governors in a school or college.

There is a close relationship with the Hertfordshire County Governance team to help provide up to date data and relevant information.

We work closely with The School Governors’ One-Stop Shop (SGOSS) to support and recruit governors from the University.
