Note for deliverers
Please amend this presentation to suit your audience and local circumstances –
you will not need all the slides for every audience.
The notes under each slide cover the key points and you can add in local detail
as relevant. Useful links are also included.
You may wish to liven it up with photos of local provision – it’s quite wordy
currently! I’ve sometimes used pictures to replace some slides and given the full
version as a hand-out and this has worked well.

The Requirements for Community
Learning and Development
(Scotland) Regulations 2013
Transforming lives through learning
Aims
For participants to have:
• A shared understanding of what is in the CLD
Regulations, their background and support to the
field
• A clear understanding of timescales, roles and
responsibilities

CLD in Scotland
In 2012, the CLD Strategic Guidance for Community
Planning Partnerships moved the focus of CLD to:
• Improving life chances through learning, personal
development and active citizenship
• Building stronger communities
Transforming lives through learning
What do we need to do..?
“Each local authority should have a
clearly defined framework for planning
and delivering CLD, through
partnership, as a key element of its
reformed public services.”
CLD Strategic Guidance (p5)
The Scottish Government, 2012
Transforming lives through learning
…and how do we need to do it?
The values of CLD are:
• Empowerment
• Participation
• Inclusion, equality of opportunity and anti-discrimination
• Self-determination
• Partnership
Transforming lives through learning
Why legislation?
• To ensure communities across Scotland have access to CLD support
• To strengthen the co-ordination between the full range of CLD
providers
• To reinforce the role of communities and learners in the assessment,
planning and evaluation processes
• To make CLD’s role and contribution more visible

Regulations 2 and 3 - Assessment of need
The local authority needs to ensure that the following things happen in its area,
regardless of who does them:
• Target individuals and groups most likely to benefit from the provision of CLD
are identified
• The CLD needs of these individuals and groups are taken into account
• There is an assessment of the extent to which these needs are already being
met
• Barriers to the efficient and adequate provision of CLD are identified
Transforming lives through learning
As an integral part of making this happen, the LA must
ensure that the following are involved in and consulted on
the process:
• People representative of the target individuals and groups
• People and organisations representative of CLD providers
in the LA area
Transforming lives through learning
Regulation 4 - Elements of the Plan
1. How the local authority will co-ordinate its own provision
of CLD with other providers of CLD in its area.
2. What action the local authority will take to provide CLD
over the period of the plan.
3. What action other providers intend to take to provide
CLD in the local authority’s area over the period of the
plan.
4. Statement of any needs for CLD that will not be met
over the period of the plan.
Transforming lives through learning
As previously, the LA must ensure that the following are
involved in and consulted on the plan:
• People representative of the target individuals and groups
• People and organisations representative of CLD providers
in the LA area
• Anyone else the LA chooses
Transforming lives through learning
Who does what
• Local authorities are responsible for developing and publishing
the plan, in consultation.
• They cannot fulfil their duties without engaging with partners,
learners and communities.
• HM Inspectors will expect to see partnerships implementing the
CLD Regulations in advance of September 2015.
• Completed plans will be seen by the Local Area Network of
scrutiny bodies (Care Commission, Education Scotland etc) and
will feature on the LAN’s Shared Risk Assessment.

What is the collective challenge

What do I need to do
differently?
Transforming lives through learning
• How do we establish who is most likely to benefit from CLD provision
currently? What might we need to do differently?
• What existing needs analysis does the LA have? What do partners
have? Where are the gaps and how can we fill them?
• What existing consultation mechanisms are there to draw on? How
do they need to be supplemented to ensure all learners, communities
and partners have a voice?
• The LA needs to co-ordinate its activity with other providers – what
will this look like? What needs to happen to enable this to work well?
Transforming lives through learning
Timeline – things to consider
• Who do we need to involve in this process? How aware are they just now?
• Which committees need to see our planning? Understand the process we’re
undertaking? Comment on the final plan? and what is/ are the meeting cycle(s)?
• How long a consultation period and at which points?
• Holidays – Xmas/ New Year, Easter, half terms…
• 2015 election purdah period
• Is there a formal process for publication in my organisation? Eg when do the web
team need the document? Who formats it? How long will all that take?
• Are my elected members aware?
• The unexpected – inspections, referendum, being reorganised…
