Research on Identifying and Quantifying CLD Outcomes

Learning Connections, part of the Scottish Government’s Lifelong Learning Division, has recently published research undertaken by Avanté on identifying and quantifying CLD outcomes. Identifying and Quantifying the Outcomes of CLD: the Development and Testing of a Research Instrument - Avanté Consulting was commissioned to develop and pilot an instrument that could test whether it is possible to identify and quantify retrospectively the outcomes of CLD for individuals and communities in Scotland. The research found that there was a positive distance travelled toward the defined outcomes by the respondents.

The data indicates that across a range of indicators CLD did make a difference.
