Community Learning and Development plans
Community Learning and Development (CLD) supports (mainly) disadvantaged or vulnerable people to bring about change in their lives and communities. It does this through providing opportunities for learning and personal development. The work of many community organisations fits within the definition of CLD.
The Community Learning and Development (Scotland) Regulations requireme local authorities in and their partners to develop three year CLD Plans for their area. They should identify learning and support priorities within the community and how these will be achieved. Local plans must be based on consultation with communities and community organisations.
The following resources and links should be helpful if you want to find out more about how to get involved.
