On Friday 2nd October, education professionals from across Wales and beyond will be heading to the Utilita Arena Cardiff for the National Education Show 2026 for a day of CPD, ideas, networking and conversations about some of the challenges facing education today.
If you work in Alternative Provision, attendance, inclusion, SEND or education services, it should be a useful opportunity to hear how other organisations are approaching the issues we all face.
The DCPro Alternative Provision Attendance team will be there too, and we’re particularly looking forward to talking to Local Authorities and AP providers about one of the challenges we hear about regularly:
How do you keep track of what is actually happening across Alternative Provision?
With learners attending different providers, changing timetables, multiple placements and information coming in from different sources, it can be difficult to maintain a clear, up-to-date picture.
- Who is attending?
- Are there any emerging attendance concerns?
- What provision is each learner receiving?
- Are placements still appropriate?
- How quickly can you get the information you need?
That’s where DCPro Alternative Provision Attendance comes in.
We’ll be demonstrating how DCPro Alternative Provision Attendance can bring attendance, placements, referrals, timetables, reporting and learner information together in one place, helping Local Authorities and providers spend less time chasing information and more time acting on it.
So, if you’re heading to Cardiff next Friday, come and say hello and have a chat with us.
