Action for ESOL cuts and campaign Survey

Action for ESOL are conducting this survey to obtain an overview of proposed cuts being planned for ESOL across the sector and find out about involvement in the Action for ESOL campaign.

We are asking if ONE representative from the ESOL staff in each college or organisation could complete the survey. If you don't have enough information to complete it, please do pass the survey link onto another member of the ESOL team who has more information.

We realise that cuts and redundancies are not finalised yet, but would appreciate it if you could complete the survey now, indicating what is anticipated. Thank you.

The information you provide will not be publicised against the name of your college or organisation, but will be used to create a general picture of proposed cuts to ESOL and involvement in the Action for ESOL campaign.

If you would like to be added to the contact list for the Action for ESOL campaign, send your name and email address to Mandy Brown mandybrowncow@hotmail.com
