This page contains a range of general resources about regionalisation, such as external links and reports, plus some materials developed by Partnerships for Change (some of which may now be defunct, but are currently still available for reference).
The SA Framework Resources Hub contains resources collated more recently, around developing students' associations.
Resources from our two annual PfC conferences can be found on the event pages:
- College Students' Associations: Realising our Potential, August 2014
- Creating the Future, August 2013
What is regionalisation?
We produced a leaflet called "What is regionalisation?". It was aimed at all students and colleges were welcome to download and adapt to their local circumstances:
- Guide to using the ‘What is Regionalisation?’ leaflet
- Merging Region versiion
- Federating Region version
- Not yet decided version
- Easy read version - for use with students in supported education to enable them to understand what is happening in the college. It should be printed on three sheets of A4, with the text kept at its current text size as a minimum.
We also created a "What is Regionalisation?" presentation. It was aimed at all students, intended for delivery by college staff and students’ associations during the regionalisation process, whenever there was a need to tell students about regionalisation and the changes to the college. It includes some sections to be updated with information about what was happening in local regions at the time of use.
