Simple terms explainer

Councils should work in partnership with third-sector organisations and other providers to deliver community learning and development services effectively. This involves building strong relationships, sharing resources, and coordinating activities to meet local needs. By collaborating with these partners, councils can extend their reach, improve service quality, and ensure that learning opportunities are accessible and inclusive for all members of the community.
