In September 2007 the government introduced reforms to the education and development of teachers in England. The Further Education Workforce Reforms include the introduction of a new professional status and associated qualifications for teachers, tutors and trainers, and apply to organisations delivering learning programmes funded by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC).

Lifelong Learning UK, together with partners, has created guidance to explain how the reforms impact on those who deliver Adult and Community Learning, Offender Learning, and who deliver learning in the Third Sector.  The guidance is now available online at www.lluk.org/feworkforcereforms/

Who the guidance is for
The guidance is of relevance if you are responsible for the management of organisations that receive funding from the LSC to deliver Adult and Community Learning or Offender Learning and Skills.  The type of organisations that the guidance applies to also includes Third Sector organisations and Local Authorities. It is also relevant if you are responsible for the development of staff in such organisations. You will need to understand the reforms, how it impacts on your staff and what they need to do. The guidance will also be helpful for those who teach in these organisations.

The guidance aims to ensure you and your staff benefit from the changes, which can in turn enhance your organisation, the FE sector as a whole and ultimately, the skills of those who receive learning.
