Background

The requirement to involve learners in planning and evaluating learning programmes, can present particular challenges when involving learners who lack confidence in reading, writing, speaking and listening. Traditional methods may exclude some learners. This seminar seeks to explore ways of putting learners at the centre of planning and delivering provision.
