Board members
Chair of the Board
Professor Julian Crampton - Vice-Chancellor
"Since arriving in Brighton, I have been impressed by the way in which there is broad agreement about the role and importance of higher education to local businesses and communities. For me, the decision to create a Lifelong Learning Network is an embodiment of that common purpose.
I want it to add real value to our joint working and provide a forum through which we improve the opportunities for vocational learners. Creating change for others starts by recognising the need to change ourselves."

"The University of Chichester is pleased to be a partner in the Sussex Learning Network. Working together, HE and the FE institutions can offer a much wider range of opportunities to learners in Sussex than would otherwise be possible. It is our great hope that as a result of our efforts, many people who may not have contemplated gaining a higher education qualification, will now see this as an attainable goal for them."

"The Open University in the South East is delighted to be contributing to the work of the Sussex Learning Network, particularly in developing Information Advice and Guidance.

VT Enterprise - South
Stephen Tregidgo - Executive Manager - VT Enterprise (South)
"An important part of advising people on the management of their career is to understand how they like to learn and how that relates to their circumstances. With the feedback we gain from individuals, it is very clear that many people could benefit from higher education but in different ways to that traditionally offered. Being a member of this Board provides another opportunity to express that to those planning and funding higher education; and in turn to make resultant developments and changes made known to those seeking to non-traditional access to higher education."
Sussex Learning Network
Viki Faulkner - SLN Director
"The Sussex Learning Network must demonstrate that by working together colleges and universities can create new opportunities and pathways that will make higher education a reality for those already in and entering work. This will only be achieved if two things happen. Firstly, a concerted effort is made amongst local employers and employees to raise awareness of the benefits which higher education has to offer adults at any stage of their working life. Secondly, if those providing the opportunities can respond directly to what the local community and employers need.
Bringing higher education within reach is not just a slogan but is the basis on which the SLN should be judged."
