Community Learning & Development 3 Year Strategy
In April 2024 the Scottish Government published ‘Community Learning and Development Plans: Guidance for 2024-2027’ outlining the national policy context for CLD that education authorities should be aware of in complying with the Requirements for Community Learning and Development (Scotland) Regulations 2013 during the period of 2024 to 2027. It emphasises the importance of CLD in supporting learners and communities across various settings, including schools, colleges, and community organisations. The guidance builds upon previous publications and outlines the requirements for education authorities to develop CLD plans that align with national priorities and address the needs of vulnerable and marginalized learners.
The Draft Community Learning and Development 3 Year partnership Plan 2024-27 was presented to the Alliance Board on the 17th of June 2024, setting out high level key strategic priorities of the CLD Partnership in Inverclyde over the next three years. Further partnership engagement was undertaken between June and August 2024 to ensure that the actions contained within the plan are relevant and there is capacity across the partnership to achieve them.
The identification of these draft priorities has been informed by extensive consultation and engagement with both partners and communities. The following priorities have been identified:
• Empowering individuals and growing a culture of participation
• Building stronger, more resilient communities
• Ensuring a healthy standard of living for all
The draft plan is available to download from the 'Documents' section on this page and will be presented to the October 2024 Inverclyde Alliance Board for approval.
