About This Publication
The pack contains a booklet and these seven case study cards.
In 2008–2009, the NIACE project ‘A Woman’s Place’ worked with women from the Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Somali communities in three London boroughs. The project was designed to bring women in these communities together, identify their learning needs and help them access adult learning. The lessons learnt and the discoveries made in the project have been put together to produce this toolkit – invaluable guidance for practitioners, ‘barefoot workers’ and policy makers.
This resource contains adaptable and relevant information and case studies that can be adopted for programmes with similar aims to ‘A Woman’s Place’. It has been designed to support current policy, community cohesion, and particularly to complement the policy document, A New Approach to English for Speakers of Other Languages (DIUS, May 2009) and the White Paper, The Learning Revolution (DIUS, March 2009). It suggests methods and recommendations for local authorities; key partners and providers at local level and provides advice to ensure that formal and informal learning is focused on priority groups.
