Simple terms explainer
Councils should coordinate CLD provision across providers to ensure that learning opportunities and community development activities are delivered effectively and without duplication. This involves working with schools, colleges, voluntary organisations, and other partners to align services, share resources, and meet identified community needs. By coordinating provision, councils help create a joined-up approach that maximises impact, improves access, and supports lifelong learning for all.
