News from the CLD Standards Council
Steven and Kirsty had a very heartening and productive meeting with Volunteer Scotland, discussing some of the critical issues regarding supporting CLD volunteers, specifically the processes and procedures needed to ensure safe and effective CLD volunteering opportunities across Scotland.
Everyone who is in anyway connected to the sphere of education is participating in the National Discussion on Scottish Education. The CLD Standards Council believes that the essential role of CLD and the views of our sector must be included to influence real change for our learners, communities and young people.
This week Vikki hosted two “Have your Say” sessions and a huge thank you to all who came along. There were some very rich, varied and interesting discussions and there is still time for you to contribute. Join us and discuss directly with Professor Alma Harris next week – you can register below.

CLD Standards Council: Member Meet-up – December: Cost of Living Crisis, 8 December, 1pm
For our December Member Meet-up, we’ll be talking about the cost of living crisis. What effect is the crisis having on you, the learners you support, and the ways in which you support them?
We’re really keen to know if you’ve had to adapt what you do and how, as well as if the crisis as a whole is having a negative impact on participation in CLD services. Come along, tell us what you’re doing and how it’s affecting CLD in your area!
