Have Your Say – HMIE Evaluation of CLD – Mon 24 Feb, 10.30am
This HMIE evaluation of community learning and development in Scotland: considers the CLD provision by local authorities and their partners.
Join us and meet with Robert and Sheila, two HMIE Inspectors, and find out more about this report and how it highlights where CLD leaders, staff, volunteers, and partners are having the greatest impact. They will also tell us how this report aims to highlight strengths of CLD such as how volunteers, local groups and voluntary organisations work to expand the range of social, educational and community opportunities across Scotland, as well as how the CLD sector is at the forefront of responding to wider changes in society, for example supporting new Scots or working with local organisations to enable communities to be more resilient towards emergencies such as flooding.

Anti-racist toolkit launch – Thurs 27 Mar, 10am
Join us to launch this exciting new Anti-racist toolkit for CLD.
Find out how we took your suggestions from the EDI Forum in January and turned them into the toolkit.
The aim of this toolkit is to support practitioners to increase anti-racist learning within their own work with learners and communities, as well as support practitioners’ personal development of antiracist knowledge and understanding.
The toolkit comes with practical tips, session activities and discussion ideas to use with peers and with learners, as well as online CPD and signposting to some useful resources which support all our learning.
