Learners Voice

'Learners' Voice' groups in outreach locations throughout the Borough meet during the year to give feedback on current learning and to help us to plan future courses.  This is a chance for learners to take an active role in their education - to tell us what we could do better and also, what we do well.

We believe that learners are the most important part of Adult Education and The Learners' Voice is an opportunity to improve the service for all its users.  Come along, meet fellow students, air your views and influence your future learning.
