The National Panel

The National ESOL Panel is the working group established according to the proposals in the Scottish Government's adult ESOL strategy for Scotland.

The Panel's mission is to lead the coordination of all aspects of the ESOL strategy across sectors, regions and interests. We will monitor the quantity and quality of ESOL provision in Scotland; and will seek to provide effective direction, respresentation and support for ESOL learners, providers and practitioners.

The National Panel, supported regionally by the 32 Community Learning and Development (CLD) partnerships, will be the hub of ESOL collaboration and coordination to achieve a consistent, joined up approach across Scotland in support of the adult ESOL strategy. Read more information on the role of the National Panel.

The Panel will be supplemented by working parties or short-life working groups, appointed by the Panel as required, to take forward specific tasks. There is more information here about these working parties and what they are doing.

Membership of the National Panel includes representatives from key stakeholder groups.

The National Panel meets quarterly. You are welcome to view the minutes of previous meetings and the schedule of forthcoming meetings. The Panel will be happy to hear from you, so please contact the National Panel about any ESOL issue you wish to raise.
