A key publication for CLD Standards Council Learning: For All. For Life. A report from the Independent Review of Community Learning and Development (CLD). Looking forward to working with colleagues to consider and respond to this report. #BecauseOfCLD

Thank you to all the CLD Standards Council members, partners and stakeholders who contributed to the Independent Review of CLD consultation. We look forward to considering and responding the recommendations in the report. #BecauseOfCLD

The report sets out clearly how interconnected all three elements, Adult Learning, Community Development and Youth Work are for individuals and communities. All aspects are central to Lifelong Learning in Scotland

Sorry we’ve been quiet! Holidays, sickness and life have kept us busy. Reading the Independent review of CLD report and pleased to see the recommendation for an “urgent and overdue reassessment of the current balance of spending across all dimensions of learning in Scotland”

“While “CLD is not a silver bullet” for dealing with complex problems, the review finds that its potential for “reaching those young people for whom the traditional school learning experience is not a good fit remains under-appreciated, and therefore under-resourced”.👀♥️‼️
