Abstract

This good practice guide has been developed from the findings of
research commissioned by the LSC into barriers to education and training in sparsely populated areas, and the ways in which providers have addressed and overcome these barriers. Case studies were developed following interviews with colleges and providers, learners, staff of local Learning and Skills Councils (local LSCs) and key partners in six local LSC areas. The guide provides examples of successful activity, and shows how providers have overcome the problems facing them.
In order to stimulate thinking on how barriers can be overcome in
different local contexts, the guide includes a set of questions for colleges and providers and those involved in education and training to consider.
The guide does not offer prescriptive models but rather examples of good practice which can be adapted for use in a particular local context.
Part 1 summarises the barriers for providers and learners in sparsely
populated areas identified in the research. Parts 2 to 7 provide case
study examples of good practice in overcoming different types of barrier.
Each part suggests a list of questions for colleges and providers to
consider before implementing similar action themselves.
Finally, the bibliography in the Annex provides references for publications mentioned in the guide, and adds some suggestions for further reading.
