Simple terms explainer
Councils should assess community learning and development (CLD) needs to understand the skills, knowledge, and support required by local people and groups. This involves engaging with communities, gathering feedback, and analyzing data to identify gaps in learning opportunities. By doing this, councils can plan and coordinate services that promote lifelong learning, strengthen community capacity, and reduce inequalities.
