Innovation in the Education Sector
Do you have an idea for a project to make your business more sustainable/innovate or grow but do not have all the in-house expertise needed to develop it? Would you like to understand how to improve upon leadership in your sector or improve your systems, processes and management capabilities? We're hosting a free online event on Wednesday 20th September from 3.30pm to 5pm where you can discover how to develop the solution you need through a collaboration funded by Innovate UK. Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a UK-wide programme managed by Innovate UK. It’s been running for 45 years and has supported more than 14,000 businesses to drive innovation for a positive impact. A typical KTP project delivers a support package valued at around £80,000 to £100,000 per year. This event aims to bring together organisations working in various areas of the education sector (Primary, Secondary, TESOL, SENDI, Educational Leadership, Autism/ADHD/Wellbeing) to learn about the KTP funding scheme and the best way to collaborate to drive innovation and growth. To facilitate engagement, there will be representatives from our Education Team available throughout the session to provide the opportunity for more targeted conversations to discuss ideas and challenges, and potential ways to collaborate through a KTP.

Virtual collaboration: Health & Social Care Students and the University of Szczecin
Second year Health & Social Care BSc (Hons) and Masters students from BGU took part in a virtual collaboration with Social Work students from the University of Szczecin (Poland). The exchange was via Microsoft Teams and both groups explored a number of health and social care related issues from the perspective of the UK and Poland. This helped their understanding of the systems in both countries, with student led discussions revealing a divergence between the systems in the two counties. For example, the funding mechanisms and organisational structures related to provision and the distinct differences around referral processes and social care provision. Students from BGU and Szczecin undertook presentations, namely; Sam Williams (MA in Health and Social Care Leadership, BGU) presented on the relatively new concept of social prescribing in England and how this works in Lincolnshire. Pat Chuchro (BSc (Hons) Health and Social care, BGU) talked about her role in the NHS, having moved to the UK over 13 years ago from Poland. Pat’s insight into both healthcare systems was illuminating and helps support learning both at BGU and Szczecin. Natalia Niciecka (Social Work student, Szczecin) also gave an informative overview of the Polish social cares system. You can read one of the completed evaluations of the virtual exchange here. -
BGU wins OFS bid to expand apprenticeship provision
BGU is delighted to announce that the University has been successful in securing additional funding as part of a competitive bidding process launched by the Office for Students (OFS), to increase the number of Level 6 degree apprenticeship courses and places available. The OFS have confirmed they will invest £12million in the first wave of three, to support university providers to both increase the number of students and the equality of opportunity within Level 6 apprenticeship programmes. The full article can be viewed here. Apprenticeships and Partnerships Manager Jane Fletcher said: “We are incredibly excited with this outcome and the opportunity this has presented us with. This will enable us now to build upon our already strong foundations and develop two new Degree-Apprenticeship standards – namely Project Manager and Youth Worker, to support our local and regional employer partnerships.” Dr Nick Gee, Dean of Faculty commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded OFS funding to develop these new apprenticeship standards. This represents a fantastic opportunity to grow our apprenticeship provision at BGU, by developing our current expertise.” An implementation project is now underway to develop these programmes and have them available for 2024/25. Employers wishing to express an interest in collaborating with us on this exciting portfolio development should contact apprenticeships@bishopg.ac.uk -

Over £600 awarded to improve accessibility at Sport and Fitness centre
Bishop Grosseteste University's on-campus Sport and Fitness Centre has received £621 through Lincolnshire Co-op’s Community Champions scheme. The centre will use this funding to purchase new, accessible equipment, making the fitness centre a more inclusive space for all. The focus will be on expanding the centre's collection of small portable handheld disability friendly gym equipment. For example; resistance bands, light dumbbells and a light battle rope. Carla Evans, Senior Sports and Fitness Centre Instructor said: "Accessibility is a top priority at our fitness centre, and thanks to Lincolnshire Co-op and their generous Community Champions scheme, we will now be able to expand the equipment we have at our facility making us more accessible, and more able to provide disability-friendly opportunities for our local community. "Thank you to everyone who donated, your donation is greatly appreciated and will make a huge impact." Lincolnshire Co-op’s Community Champions scheme combines the efforts of members, colleagues, and customers to raise money for local groups and good causes. A donation is made each time a member shops with their dividend card, colleagues host fundraising events, and customers can donate their spare change. Lincolnshire Co-op's Community Engagement Manager Sam Turner said: “Our Purpose is about making life better in our communities and our Community Champions scheme is central to this. We’re proud to support these local community groups and their amazing work." -
