Working Groups

NEON Working Groups are led by members and bring the widening participation sector together to take forward an agenda in specific areas of access practice.

These groups share practice and shape the national agenda across the widening access landscape. If as a member, you wish to propose and lead a Working Group please contact NEON@londonhigher.ac.uk.

Attendance at Working Group meetings is FREE to NEON members. Non-members are welcome to attend but there is a fee of £80 per meeting.

NEON has created a TEAMs group for all NEON Working Groups. The TEAMs group will assist Working Groups share practice and collectively address the various challenges that arise in widening access. To be part of the group, fill in the form here.
