Subject: Urgent: Concerns Regarding Southern Regional College and Potential Misuse of Public Funds

---

Dear Minister of Health,

I am writing to raise serious concerns regarding Southern Regional College (SRC) and its operations. Despite repeated attempts to seek clarification and resolution, several issues remain unresolved, particularly with regard to the transparency and legality of the college’s operations.

Key Concerns:

1. Funding and Transparency: Southern Regional College, located in Newry, Northern Ireland, is reported to have received substantial funding from the European Union. There are serious concerns about the transparency of how these funds are used and the overall accountability of the college’s operations. The college’s campuses appear to be under scrutiny for their involvement with Looked After Children (LAC), with claims suggesting that it caters to an unusually high number of these children. These claims raise questions about the legitimacy of these arrangements and the welfare of the children involved.
2. Inspection and Oversight: There have been difficulties in obtaining information about the college’s URN and the results of any inspections. Ofsted, which does not inspect schools in Northern Ireland, has been unable to provide clarity, and the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) has not responded to queries. This lack of inspection and oversight is concerning and suggests a gap in accountability.
3. Data and Communication Issues: I have experienced issues with blocked communications and lack of transparency from the college’s senior staff. Numerous attempts to contact them have resulted in unreturned calls and misleading information. This raises concerns about the accessibility and openness of the institution.

Action Requested:

Given the gravity of these concerns, I urge the Department of Health to take the following actions:

1. Conduct an Immediate Review: Initiate a thorough review of Southern Regional College’s funding, operations, and the welfare of its students, particularly those classified as Looked After Children.
2. Enhance Oversight: Ensure that the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) conducts a comprehensive inspection of the college and that the findings are made public.
3. Improve Transparency: Address the communication issues with the college and ensure that all relevant data is accessible and transparent to the public.
4. Coordinate with Relevant Bodies: Collaborate with the International Criminal Court, NSPCC, and the Children’s Commissioner to ensure that any potential criminal activity or breaches of child protection regulations are thoroughly investigated.

I have included the International Criminal Court, NSPCC, and the Children’s Commissioner in this correspondence to ensure that the matter is escalated appropriately and receives the necessary attention.

Summary of Correspondence Regarding Southern Regional College (SRC) and Ofsted

1. Initial Concerns and Requests:
   • I raised concerns about Southern Regional College (SRC) in Newry, Northern Ireland, particularly about its transparency and management. I pointed out issues with contacting key personnel at SRC and questioned why the college’s senior staff were consistently unavailable.
2. Phone Number Issue:
   • I  noted that the phone number 0300 123 1223 is used by both Ofsted and SRC. I questioned whether this overlap could indicate a problem, such as fraud or misrepresentation.
3. Requests for Information:
   • I requested detailed information on why SRC is not listed or inspected by Ofsted, despite its significant funding and apparent issues. You also inquired about the URN (Unique Reference Number) for SRC, which I was unable to locate on Ofsted’s system.
4. Response from Donna Hughes (SRC):
   • Donna Hughes from SRC responded by stating that they could not confirm or deny any student’s enrollment due to data protection regulations. She emphasized that the college operates within legal obligations and cannot disclose personal data without consent.
5. Responses from Nicola Tanner (Ofsted):
   • Nicola Tanner clarified that Ofsted does not inspect schools or colleges in Northern Ireland and directed you to the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI). She mentioned that Ofsted’s complaint process was not applicable to SRC as it falls outside their jurisdiction. Tanner also expressed frustration over repeated inquiries and stated that any further correspondence would be deleted.
6. Further Communications:
   • I continued to raise concerns about data protection practices and the handling of information. I expressed dissatisfaction with the responses received from both Ofsted and SRC, alleging a lack of transparency and accountability.
7. Additional Context:

8. Public and Official Contacts:
   • I contacted multiple officials and organizations, including MPs, the Cabinet Office, and the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office), seeking their assistance in addressing your concerns about SRC and Ofsted.
9. Summary of Issues:
   • The primary issues raised include the lack of transparency and accountability of SRC, the shared phone number with Ofsted, the adequacy of responses from Ofsted, and concerns about data protection and compliance with legal requirements.
