This mini-guide has been produced to give you an overview of the right for employees to request time to train. It was originally produced for Learning at Work Day 2010 by the Campaign for Learning and unionlearn. This revised version has been developed in April 2011, following the Government's announcement that the implementation of the right in firms of 249 employees and under has been cancelled.

The guide covers all the information in this web section and provides ideas and information for everyone in the workplace involved in supporting learning. The guide looks at ways of implementing and promoting the right, as well as supporting a culture of learning in the workplace more generally. You may wish to use this guide to run activities in your workplace. Throughout the guide, you will find directions to further resources and information about the right.
