Barnet College – Redundancies loom and courses facing cuts

The College announced the VS scheme on Tuesday 8th February 2011 and invited staff to apply for figures and information. Staff that are successful in their application will leave on the last working day of February 2011.

The Learning Difficulties department (LLDD) has had to cut 6 courses from its tariff and this means a loss of 70 places for the most vulnerable members of our community and society as a whole.

The Mental Health Department will also be making cuts, another blow to this already disadvantaged section of society and as soon as these are announced, we will bring them to you.

A grave example of too many cuts coming too fast and effecting the future of this and the forth-coming generations’ education and opportunities.
