Independent review of community learning and development: Call for evidence - Learner and Potential Learner
Overview
Community Learning and Development (CLD) is learning that takes place in a community setting. This means that it might take place in a community centre, college, library, or other community facility.
Some CLD might also take place in a school building such as a community wing, or in booked rooms or spaces.
Examples of CLD learning opportunities might include classes to improve reading and writing, using numbers, or a computer; or participate in Youth Work activities, including youth awards like the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
CLD includes special ways of working with different groups of people like Youth Work, Community-based Adult Learning, Family Learning, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), and numeracy and literacy classes.
The Scottish Government is reviewing CLD in Scotland, to find out what people think is working well, and what could be done better. We have asked an Independent Reviewer, Kate Still, to look into this in more detail.
As someone who has taken part in CLD learning in the past, or might want to in the future, we would really like to hear your views.
The information you provide will be confidential and will not be used to identify you.
