CLDSC Report on Local Authority Community Learning and Development Budget Allocation 2024/25

As a member-led organisation, the mission of the Community Learning and Development (CLD) Standards Council is to support the development of high standards of professional practice and work with our members to be a voice for the CLD profession. This report builds on the data and analysis provided for financial year 2023/24 and begins to identify emerging trends around budget and resource allocations across the 31 local authorities who responded to the request for information in relation to support for local authority planning and decision making for CLD.

We offer sincere thanks to the Local Authority Officers who gathered and willingly shared their information. This report would not have been possible without your support.
