CLD Partnership Area
![]()
The main tasks for CLD partnerships at regional level, as noted in the adult ESOL strategy for Scotland, are:
- signposting learner need: to help ESOL providers ensure the best possible match between learner demands/needs and high quality provision.
- advice: to advise the National Panel on regional ESOL provision and raise awareness of local developments which might be used as national models of good practice.
- collaboration and representation: to identify and develop opportunities for local partnerships and initiatives between ESOL providers (and the EAL service in schools), businesses, local government, wider educational provision and community development.
- communication and promotion: to raise awareness of staff development opportunities for ESOL practitioners and support staff both locally and nationally (including staff teaching EAL in schools), and to inform of statutory developments.
