LEAD ORGANISATION

VT Four S

ADDITIONAL ORGANISATIONS INVOLVED

Progress South Central

PROJECT SUMMARY

A DVD 'The new Diplomas - Learner Voice in Surrey' was produced by VT Four S in conjunction with Surrey County Council. Progress South Central funded the rebranding of the DVD and arranged for the free distribution of the new version to key contacts in the region.

The DVD contains five short films, one for each of the Diploma lines that ran in Surrey in 2008-09. The DVD is intended to publicise the Diploma to learners and includes interviews with current Diploma students and tutors talking about their experiences, the projects they have been undertaking and their progression/career aspirations.

IMPACT

200 copies of the DVD were produced and it was distributed free to 14-19 Coordinators and Aimhigher coordinators in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey. Additionally, all the LLN's contacts have been made aware that it is available.

It is hoped that the DVD will be helpful to colleagues in the region in their discussions with potential Diploma students and with others who may have an interest in the Diploma.
