In partnership with the Scottish Social Services Learning Networks we have set up four regional support groups called ‘gathering groups’. The aim of the groups is to bring together individuals and organisations that are using or thinking about using the Continuous Learning Framework. Each group meets several times a year and members can communicate with each other between meetings as needed. The groups provide an opportunity to share ideas about the many ways the Continuous Learning Framework can be of use, look at concerns and connect with others. Here is what one member of the Tayforth Gathering Group says about it:
“When I first started looking at the CLF it was like walking into a minefield - so many possibilities but no idea which direction to take it in. The group meetings have helped to map out different ways that others are using the CLF as well as an opportunity to discuss my own ideas. With something so new this has been an opportunity to learn of other's successes and the pitfalls they have encountered”. Diane, Learning and Development Advisor, Fife Council
Here are some dates for forthcoming Gathering Group meetings. For more information please contact Wilma Paterson the relevant Learning Network.
