Conference condemns the threats to ESOL provision and congratulates UCU on its positive campaign that resulted in a partial rethink of some of the threatened cuts.
Conference notes that the effects of the threatened cuts will have a differential impact on women, who are often hard to reach and more likely to be unable to fund their own ESOL education.
Conference urges the NEC to call for a Gender Equality Impact Assessment to be done by the DFES and every college delivering ESOL to assess the impact on women of these cuts. These findings should be linked to the already completed Race Equality Impact Assessments done by the DFES and Colleges.
