Colleges and Community Planning: Maximising the Contribution of Scotland's Colleges to Improving Outcomes for Learners through Community Planning, in a Regional Context. A Thematic-Based Aspect Report on Provision in Scotland's Colleges by HM Inspectors on Behalf of the Scottish Funding Council
Education Scotland
This report is situated within the context of college sector reform, specifically regionalisation and the implementation of regional "outcome agreements" (ROA), and, within the wider context of public service reform, the refreshed guidance on Single Outcome Agreements (SOA) for Community Planning Partnerships (CPP). It sets out to explore the current nature and impact of college contributions to community planning, identify existing good practice and explore the implications for this aspect of colleges' work of both regionalisation and the recommendations resulting from the review of community planning. The aims are to: (1) promote dialogue and help inform planning as colleges are reformed in regional models and respond to the review of community planning and SOAs; (2) identify and disseminate examples of effective practice in colleges contributing to outcomes for communities through their work with CPPs; (3) make recommendations to help ensure colleges deliver high-quality outcomes and experiences for learners by contributing more effectively to community planning processes and SOAs in a regional context and against the background of wider public service reform; and (4) inform the ongoing work of Education Scotland under the updated quality framework for the external review of Scotland's colleges.
