What is ACET?
ACET is Gloucestershire County Council’s Adult Continuing
Education & Training service, and is mainly funded by
Gloucestershire Learning and Skills Council and Gloucestershire
County Council.
ACET works in partnership with colleges, education providers and
more than 200 community organisations to make adult education
widely available. It acts as a conduit for local organisations to
access funding for innovative learning projects. Through a network
of 8 district-based consortia, grass roots organisations are able to
contribute to, and influence the content and delivery of community
education. ACET supports consortia in their management of
learning projects, and employs a team of development workers to
co-ordinate local activities.
ACET works with arts and community centres, and other
organisations such as schools and Early Years Centres to develop
successful approaches to Family Learning. In partnership with
Gloucestershire County Council’s Economic Development Unit, it
seeks to promote lifelong learning initiatives that contribute to
widening participation, social inclusion, and economic
regeneration.
Community-based learning contributes to workforce development,
and can play an important role in raising the aspirations and
achievements of Gloucestershire people.
If you want to know more about ACET and its activities, please call
Jim Austin (Head of ACET) on 01452 425418.

SOCIAL INCLUSION
ACET is trying to promote Social Inclusion in Gloucestershire through funding
Widening Participation development projects.
ACET wishes to develop ways of reaching and delivering to new learners and
learners from targeted groups and communities and draw them into regular
learning activity. We can do this by working with you in funding development
projects which both assist us with ‘action research’ and which:
Engage new learners in new learning opportunities
 Reach and work with adults who haven’t traditionally taken part in learning
opportunities (See in this pack – Priority Groups).
Promote active new partners:
 Involve new organisations in playing a part in Adult and Community
Learning (ACL).
Meet local needs:
 Provide resources to identify needs which learning can help meet, especially
in priority wards (see this Pack).
 Respond to these imaginatively with quality assured work.
Help us to learn and share lessons (Action Research):
 Learn lessons from planning and delivering development projects and
communicate these to providers, other partners, the county Learning
Partnership and the Learning + Skills Council.
 Learn lessons for good practice in widening participation from the learners
involved in these projects.
Listen to learners and communities:
 Promote ways in which learners and communities can influence the learning
opportunities available to them - promote learning, which is responsive.
Celebrate Learning and Adult Learners’ Achievements
 Deliver and / or participate in events to celebrate and promote adult and
community learning and the achievements of learners
 Support Adult Learning Festivals such as Adult Learners’ or Family Learning
Weeks.
Build local capacity:
 Work with organisations and groups to develop the skills and systems
needed to deliver quality learning opportunities.
 Involve organisations in 'peer inspection' of work.
 Prepare organisations to take on possible contracted work where this is
wanted.

PRIORITY GROUPS
Development Projects can also be targeted at Priority Groups. These
projects may take place anywhere in the County where there are identified
needs or to explore needs.
The following are ACET Priority Groups. They reflect those groups who are
often socially excluded and who are under represented in Adult and
Community Learning.
 Black and Minority Ethnic Groups
 Disabled adults
 Adults with a learning difficulty
 Younger men and unemployed men over 50
 Unemployed people, benefit claimants or people looking to return to work
or learning (returners)
 People without formal qualifications or with low skills
 People who need help to improve their skills in literacy and/or numeracy
 People recovering from mental illness
 Disadvantaged Families
 Family Carers
 Elderly people
 People in isolated rural areas

 Other groups at risk of social exclusion
-9D:\533578435.doc (last edited: 03/08/04)
5.
CONSORTIUM PROJECTS: PRIORITIES
 Reaching new learners and widening participation
Trying out initiatives designed to involve harder to reach geographical
communities or groups who are underrepresented in adult and community
learning and at risk of social exclusion.
(see: Priority Wards, Priority Groups)
 Capacity Building
Projects designed to build the skills, contacts and influence of the Consortia
and/or their members; projects which will develop the ability to offer
community-based learning.
 Listening to Learners and Communities
Projects designed to promote learner/community involvement in the
Consortia and which help us listen to learners and identify needs.
 Celebrating Adult and Community Learning and the Achievements of
Adult Learners
Projects designed to deliver events and programmes and festivals which
raise public awareness of the value of adult and community learning, offer
(e.g.) taster activity and which celebrate learners’ achievements. These may
link to such national initiatives as Adult Learners’ Week. This type of project
must be submitted by a partnership of organisations with one lead body
responsible.
6.
FAMILY LEARNING: PRIORITIES
Projects in this category aim to get adults and children learning as or within a
family or to help parents/carers learn how to support their children’s learning.
They have two main aims:
 To develop the skills or knowledge of the adult and child
 To help parents/carers to be able to support their children’s learning and
development more actively and with greater confidence and to be able to
understand why that support is important.
Projects can include curriculum development, new delivery mechanisms
and promotional activities (Family Learning Week/Adult Learners’ Week).

appropriate curriculum, which includes Information, Advice and
Guidance together with Literacy, Language and Numeracy Support.
10.
1ST STEPS: PRIORITIES

DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS
Learner Detail Forms: (supplied by ACET)
Learners must fill in Learner Detail Forms for any widening participation
development project. ACET’s funding is dependent on this.
In some instances this may be accompanied by a supplementary enrolment form.
It is important that learners sign the Learner Detail Forms and that the project tutor
or other responsible worker also signs.
ACET has worked with Art Shape Ltd to produce an alternative Learner Detail
Form which may be suitable for adults with (e.g.) learning difficulties. Please
enquire if this may be of interest to you.
Registers: (supplied by ACET)
A register must be taken of all learners for any project which involves them,
recording attendance and absences / withdrawals.
Project Reports: (Pro-Formas supplied by ACET in Grant Aid Acceptance Pack,
supplied at the time of project approval – electronic copies can be requested)
You will be required to submit a brief interim report (Projects over £500) and a
final report at the end of your widening participation development project.
Please return your learner detail forms and registers to:
Peter Hancock, Gloucestershire County Council ACET Service, Quayside Wing,
Shire Hall, Westgate St, Gloucester GL1 2TP.
Please return your project report forms to: Asiyah Patel, Gloucestershire County
Council ACET Service, Quayside Wing, Shire Hall, Westgate St, Gloucester GL1
2TP.
Or, if submitting by email: asiyah.patel@gloucestershire.gov.uk
Please also provide your ACET Development Officer with a copy of your report(s).
If in any doubt about these data collection requirements, please contact your
ACET Development Worker or Officer (see ACET Staffing List overleaf).
- 14 D:\533578435.doc (last edited: 03/08/04)
Project Evaluation
All projects applied for through a local Consortium take part in an annual review
workshop (usually in the summer period) where the lessons learnt from each
project are pooled so we can identify the good practice in promoting social
inclusion through learning and in techniques for widening participation.
Peer Inspection
As part of ACET’s commitment to quality and to building organisations’ capacity,
your project may be involved in ‘peer inspection’. This would involve, for projects
where teaching and learning is going on, a colleague from another organisation or
ACET itself, visiting your project and observing the teaching. There is feed back
and the process is intended to be supportive and developmental. You can contact
ACET’s Quality Assurance Officer, Jacqueline Rinaldi, for information and advice.
