Current policy consultations in England

The lifelong learning sector is undergoing significant change and it is vital that Lifelong Learning UK knows your views so that it can respond appropriately to UK and European government consultations affecting you and your colleagues.

You can shape the feedback given by LLUK to our governments by participating in current consultations about our workforce.

Current policy consultations relevant to the lifelong learning sector are:

Draft Apprenticeships bill - closing date 8 October 2008

A new 'University Challenge': consultation on proposals for new higher education centres - closing date 17 October 2008

If you are interested in helping LLUK to shape its response to these consultations please email policyresponses@lluk.org

Below are some of our recent policy response submissions:
