Lifelong Learning Networks Position Paper

Lifelong Learning Networks (LLNs) established regionally across England and funded by HEFCE were established to develop and promote developmental opportunities for vocational learners as their careers develop.

They involved partnerships between Further Education Colleges Universities and other relevant agencies. HLST asked Jan Wise who has first hand experience of working in an LLN to review the work undertaken by LLNs which relates to the HLST subject grouping and related subjects. Her report reflects a range of interesting activity a number of important achievements but questions the long term impact of LLN work now that funding has ceased.
