Leadership and management standards
Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) is developing contextualised materials for the Management Standards Centre generic standards, to meet the needs of the further education (FE), adult and community learning (ACL) and work based learning (WBL) communities in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
A strong message coming out of LLUK's Sector Skills Agreement consultations has been that, without contextualised leadership and management training, managers and other staff with management responsibilities will not be able to respond to the changing needs of individual constituencies.
Last year LLUK was tasked with reviewing standards for leadership and management in FE, ACL and WBL across the UK. The first round of consultations suggested that the preferred approach to this piece of work would be to use the generic Management Standards Centre standards as a basis for development, and to produce contextualised materials, which would support and promote the use of the standards across the sector.
LLUK invited participants to complete a leadership and management standards consultation questionnaire to assist LLUK to identify the necessary documents and information, which need to be produced, in order for the standards to be useful to organisations and individuals within organisations in the sector across the UK. The closing date for responses was 7th December, 2007 and the data is currently being analysed.
