Community Learning and Development Strategic Leadership Group
Overview
The Community Learning and Development Strategic Leadership Group was established in December 2024. One of the recommendations of the independent review of Community Learning and Development report was that the Scottish Government and COSLA should establish a joint community learning and development strategic group.
The group provides sustained strategic leadership, working to set out and deliver a clear, learner-centred vision of how community learning and development will provide the best outcomes for Scotland’s communities and the people in them.
