Original consultation
We want your views on the draft 16 to 18 local curricula guidance.
Consultation description
We are consulting on draft guidance which will:
- serve as statutory guidance from Welsh Government to Medr on the formation of 16 to 18 local curricula in Wales
- outline the duties for Medr, maintained secondary schools with sixth forms, further education institutions and local authorities in the formation and planning of 16 to 18 local curricula in Wales
Note: anonymisation of responses
The consultation document published as part of this consultation reflects an earlier version of Welsh Government’s wording on the anonymisation of responses. Our procedures have since been updated so that consultation responses are treated as anonymous by default. Any personal data is now removed prior to publication, unless respondents explicitly request otherwise.
This updated approach will be applied to all responses received for this consultation.
