The
Federation for Community Development Learning
the national network for community development training; supporting
the development of communities through advancing and promoting community
work learning at local, regional and national levels and the creation
of appropriate opportunities for training and qualification
What
does the Federation do?
We support a network of individuals, organisations and groups interested
in community development learning and training to share information
and good training practice, to learn from each other and to provide
good opportunities for community development learning. Full and
Associate membership is available.
- We develop,
out of the experience of our members, materials and training resources
to support good practice in community work training.
- We produce
regular training bulletins and information sheets and work with
our members to publish materials that help share good training
practice.
- Special interest
groups within the Federation meet to share practice around particular
perspectives and issues, including Ubuntu for Black community
development workers and activists.

We work at a
national level to develop new arrangements for community work training
and qualifications that are accessible and relevant to those involved
in community work activities. The Federation played a central role
in developing:
- The revised
Occupational Standards for Community Development Work and the
subsequent revised community work S/NVQ.
- The England
Standards Board (an endorsing body)
- Paulo, the
National Training Organisation for Community Work, Community Education,
Informal Adult Learning and Youth Work
- The Community
Work Forum.
Our
latest Annual
Review is now available to download.
