Inspection-Ready Belonging & Resilience (FE Webinar)

Wellbeing. Belonging. Resilience.

Under the new OFSTED framework, FE providers are judged on embedded inclusion and participation: safe, respectful environments, high attendance and participation, and learners who feel welcome, valued and respected. For learners with high needs, leaders are expected to provide planned support that builds resilience, confidence and independence, and many colleges are extending this to wider cohorts.

Leaders tell us:

• “We’ve got wellbeing activities, but nothing consistent or joined-up.”
• “Students still say they don’t feel like they belong.”
• “We know resilience matters, but it ends up as a buzzword.”

This webinar shows how our award-nominated FE-born tools—RESTA (Resilience Support Teaching Assistant programme) and RESO (Resilience Support Organisation framework)turn those priorities into evidenced practice.

What you’ll learn

• Why most approaches fail: common FE pitfalls with wellbeing, belonging and participation.
• What “embedded” looks like: how RESTA equips staff to build learner resilience and confidence (with a focus on EBSA, SEND and high needs) through a supervised APDR approach and practical reasonable adjustments.
• Culture, not bolt-ons: how RESO creates whole-college belonging routines, consistent attendance/behaviour expectations and a clear pastoral framework aligned to inspection factors.
• Evidence that matters: how FE providers are improving attendance, participation and motivation with RESTA/RESO.

Who should attend

FE leaders for Quality, Safeguarding, Student Experience, SEND/High Needs and Curriculum and anyone asking whether their college is truly inspection-ready on belonging, wellbeing and resilience.

Bonus for attendees

• Belonging & Resilience in FE Audit Tool (1-page checklist to benchmark where you stand).
• Priority access to RESTA/RESO implementation for your college.

Built with FE, for FE. RESTA and RESO are designed to move you from activity to embedded practice so that you can meet “expected,” secure “strong,” and aim for “exceptional.”
