DfE Multiply Capability Support Programme – Discussion Forums

Funded by the Department for Education, AoC, in partnership with Holex, is running a series of discussion forums as part of the Multiply Capability Support Programme.

The forums aim to generate conversations between providers where they can not only share best practice amongst them but also find solutions to current challenges. The forums will be structured to encourage providers to reflect on their practice so far and to consider the continuity of delivery past the programme end date.
