Supporting Learners with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities to Access ESF Priority 2 Provision

Do you have experience of working with learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (LLDD), or would you like to learn more about how to engage LLDD? Are you responsible for delivering ESF or wider provision and keen to engage more LLDD?

On behalf of the Skills Funding Agency (SFA), the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) and the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) are hosting three free workshops aimed at providers who are keen to learn about, and share best practice in supporting LLDD to access ESF Priority 2 provision.

Findings from the workshops will inform the development of guidance and good practice, and researchers are particularly keen to include your insights - either as ESF providers, or as providers of more mainstream provision who are experienced in delivering to LLDD.

These free workshops will be held in centrally located venues in London, Birmingham and Manchester.
