Overall aim

• Gain information about Professional Learning opportunities.
• Consider existing pathways and how they can be made easier to access.
• Identify gaps in provision both in terms of availability, content and by geography.

Description

CLD practitioners, partners and stakeholders have long recognised the need for a pathway of Professional Learning opportunities on which CLD practitioners can start out as volunteers, continue as part-time workers, reaching accredited milestones along the way to becoming a fully qualified practitioner with an approved degree qualification. Although practitioners will join the pathway at different points, the nature of CLD and the fact that many are drawn to the field through experiences of CLD in their own communities, make it essential that the path has its roots in local communities.

This session will explore the career pathways that currently exist and challenge participants to identify barriers and solutions to participation.
