Applying to join the NLP

Applications for 2009-10 are now closed

Anyone over 16 who is currently studying in the learning and skills sector or who holds a related sabbatical position (e.g. a Student Union president of a further education college) is eligible to apply for the National Learner Panel. Membership is for one full year (from October) and panel members are required to attend four full panel meetings. Alongside this commitment, members can choose to attend extra meetings and optional subgroups.

“I have found the meetings really useful. I am grateful to be able to voice my opinion and am glad that the NLP is one of many ways that the learner voice can make a difference”
Grace Beazer, NLP 2009–2010.

"I have learned new things at each panel meeting which have given me a deeper understanding on how policies are developed and implemented. I recommend joining the panel because as a panel member you are given a golden opportunity to have your voice heard."
Tabi Mpala, NLP member 2008-09.
