Further Education Commissioner intervention reports

Summaries of the FE Commissioner's intervention reports and responses from the Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills.

Reports and responses are organised by the year in which they were published - some inspections may have taken place in the previous calendar year. Once the Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills agrees to remove an FE provider from intervention, it is moved to the ‘closed’ section.
