Adult Community Learning provides flexible learning opportunities for adults and families, delivered in venues in the community to meet local needs. There is an Adult Learning Partnership in every Local Authority area and a lead for adult community learning in each Local Authority and Further Education Institution.

The partnerships are committed to removing barriers in education and widening access for all individuals to gain equal opportunities, that will enable and empower more people to participate in learning and receive individual support. This also includes the promotion and representation of equality, diversity and inclusion across partnership activity and engagement.
