CLD practice across diverse settings

Maintaining a standard of practice across settings means that participants experience consistency of practice based on common values whether they are involved in youth work activities, community based adult learning or building community capacity.

A key context for successful CLD is that it is planned for and delivered in partnership with all the main local stakeholders. Local partnerships will vary in membership depending on local needs and circumstances. Most CLD Partnerships have representation from local authorities, the police, FE colleges, health boards and the voluntary sector.

This reflects the breadth of CLD’s contribution to developing lifelong learning opportunities,improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities and promoting safe and vibrant communities.

The Values, Code of Ethics and Competences, or aspects of them, also often inform the work of other practitioners, professions and individuals.
