"this is a very welcome and common sense move from the Government to give opportunities back to young Brits while helping businesses across the UK struggling with labour shortages... it really is a win-win for both the UK and EU.” @pimlicat.bsky.social

I'm currently writing up research commissioned by Welsh Gov on the way schools are enacting CfW to support equity & inclusion. This qualitative research has provided valuable insights into how schools are curriculum making & perceive their role in tackling inequalities in education.

Short animated video clip presenting findings from our recent research project!

I think we are all in that space right now…

Congratulations!

It’s on my ‘To Do List’ for the next couple of weeks!

Delighted that our special issue on 'International student mobility within Europe: responding to contemporary challenges' has just been published!
