LLN National Forum
HEFCE agreed funding to support the National Lifelong Learning Network Practitioner Forum in March 2006. Hosted by Higher York, the forum has been established to enhance the profile of all LLNs and acts as a network for sharing ideas, good practice, policy developments, and is a two-way conduit with others in pursuit of the wider objectives of LLNs.
In addition to holding an annual conference, the forum:
- facilitates regular, themed and subject based meetings of practitioners ('workstrands')
- holds a register of those involved in the LLN community to facilitate experience sharing and self-help
- provides a focus for evaluation and research around the work of LLNs, including the co-ordination of peer evaluation
- seeks other means of sharing good practice and influencing the development of LLNs
- acts as a resource and mechanism for supporting and informing HEFCE in the development of LLN strategy.
The Steering Committee is responsible for the above functions and the overall budget. For a list of Steering Committee members, please click here
