Steering Group
In 2005 a group chaired by Peter Little OBE published Through Inclusion to Excellence
This report made recommendations about the future planning and funding of provision for LLDD Including: "LSC should develop a national strategy for the regional/local delivery, through collaboration with partners, of provision for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities across the post 16 learning and skills sector that is high quality, learner centred and cost-effective."
The South West Learning for Living Steering Group was set up as part of this agenda.
