Provide learning and development opportunities in a range of contexts

Purpose: so that people can identify and achieve their individual and collective goals.

Context: CLD is based on providing learning and development opportunities that are accessible and responsive to individual and community priorities.  These opportunities create personal and community benefits such as improving self-confidence and skills and enhancing employment opportunities, as well as supporting health and well-being, community regeneration and individual and community activity.

As a competent practitioner able to provide learning and development opportunities in a range of contexts you will be able to demonstrate that you can:

• provide education and development opportunities that are developed in dialogue with individuals and communities;
• generate learning opportunities that will stimulate personal and community change;
• tackle barriers to participation;
• develop, design and deliver learner-centred programmes;
• take advantage of learning and development opportunities in everyday situations;
• use appropriate methods, techniques and digital technologies;
• support progression and transition;
• use appropriately targeted methods (including electronic channels) to promote learning and development opportunities.

These competences and indicators should be read in conjunction with the definition of a competent CLD worker.
