Not every learner can attend a mainstream centre. The Committee has long worked with other institutions to provide education in hospitals, resource centres, addiction services and community settings. The aim is to reach people who would otherwise be excluded.
How the partnerships work
A host organisation provides a setting and identifies learners. The Committee provides tutors, programmes and accreditation where appropriate. The two organisations agree the boundaries, safeguarding arrangements and practical details.
