Simple terms explainer
Councils should publish a three-year plan to set out how they will support learning opportunities and community capacity building. This involves identifying local needs, working with partners to design services, and ensuring that resources are targeted where they will have the greatest impact. By publishing this plan, councils provide a clear roadmap for improving skills, reducing inequalities, and strengthening communities through accessible learning and development opportunities.
