Plan of Action for your event: Step 6 Signposting/Further learning

Your FLF event is an ideal opportunity to promote future learning opportunities. Our downloadable guide Discovering new worlds: linking family activities to further learning has lots of information on how to do this effectively. Here are some other tips that may help. Here are some tips on how to do this:

• Other information about future events in the community linked to your activity e.g. if you ran an event on arts and crafts have information about a local gallery or painting class available.

• Invite local training providers to provide information about courses they offer. Ask them to be on hand to talk to people about what they could do.

• Have a display area with information about courses and learning opportunities.

• Ask a Skills for Life tutor or support person to come along who might be able to identify adults who need support.

• Organise a taster session linked to the activities you have put on. For instance, if your FLF theme was ‘Language’, set up tasters in French or Sign Language. Take contact details straight away so that you have a ready made class.

• Talk to families and find out what else they would like to do. They may have specific interests, such as gardening or sport. Arrange to hold another family learning session in the near future.

• Invite your local nextstep service to come along.

   

   

• Include the Get On helpline 0800 66 0800 and website www.direct.gov.uk/geton on your publicity for anyone who is too shy to talk about Skills for Life issues.
