TLC Brochure (Low Res) The Lancashire Colleges Supporting Further and Higher Education in Lancashire’s Colleges TLC does this through: REPUTATION AND INFLUENCE Maintaining a high profile for The Lancashire Colleges as a trusted partner with key decision-makers at local and national levels: • Providing members with a collective and authoritative voice and therefore greater influence. • Promoting recognition that the unit of funding for FE across all types of provision has to be sufficient if colleges are to remain viable. • Promoting members’ achievements in delivering sixth form, further, technical, professional and higher education to grow the skills and economy of Lancashire. • Supporting members to maintain and grow market share in traditional and core activity areas. • Providing a trusted single point of contact for the colleges of Lancashire.

TLC supports its members to provide the highest quality of further and higher education in Lancashire. 2 | 3 TLC TLC HAS SECURED OVER £25M IN EUROPEAN AND OTHER ADDING VALUE FUNDS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE OF LANCASHIRE. FUNDING FOR GROWTH TLC has secured over £25m of European and other funding. This has helped Lancashire’s young people and adults to progress into employment, apprenticeships or further training as well as delivering the skills required by local employers. Working with a network of delivery partners, TLC is currently awaiting the outcome of bids for a further £24m of funding. SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS Through the Lancashire Apprenticeship Service, TLC is supporting businesses to recruit apprentices and/or upskill or retrain their existing employees. TLC provides impartial information and advice on apprenticeships provided by its members and supports businesses in finding the best solution to meet their apprenticeship training needs. SYSTEM LEADERSHIP TLC supports the vital role that Lancashire’s colleges play in the system leadership of education and skills within the geography of Lancashire. Working with the County Council and Unitary Authorities at officer and member level, TLC has helped form close working relationships and a greater degree of understanding about the essential nature of the college offer. This work has incorporated collaborative activity to tackle issues caused by funding and system shortfalls in the fields of mental health and Special Educational Need and Disability (SEND). More recently, work with NHS Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups has ensured the voice of the colleges is represented in commissioning decisions across Lancashire and South Cumbria. SECURING LANCASHIRE’S FUTURE To inform government policy, TLC facilitates meetings with Ministers of State, Select Committee Chairs, Shadow Ministers, constituency MPs and officials from the Department for Education and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. TLC also organises visits to member colleges by Departmental officials. 4 | 5 COLLEGES ARE DELIVERING GROWTH FOR LANCASHIRE COLLEGES ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE LANCASHIRE LOCAL ENTERPRISE PARTNERSHIP (LEP) TO DELIVER THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PRIORITIES OF LANCASHIRE.

  • 5. Network Planning for Walking
    Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians.

  • Newsletter April 09.Pub
    Spring 2009 At the end of March Wayne Marland retired, and although we all wish him well, it was an event which was greeted with much sadness by everyone who worked with him. Wayne has worked for Lancashire for 23 years, coming to the advisory service from Edge Hill, where he lectured in Education for 8 years, after working as a teacher in Manchester. He has always been a staunch advocate for race equality, bringing to the debate a profound knowledge and understanding of the issues that made him the Race Equality touchstone for teachers, advisers and partners alike, and the lynchpin for policy and practice in Lancashire. Always suspicious of fashions and trends in education, Wayne's grasp of the historical, social, psychological and educational contexts for racism and inequality has allowed him to develop and support strategies and initiatives that affect real change, often ahead of national policy. Anyone who has been lucky enough to hear him speak at conferences and courses will know that he can be inspirational, challenging assumptions and attitudes and cutting through to the core purpose of education for a just society. His knowledge, commitment, passion and integrity will be greatly missed as will his sense of humour and his mischievous tendency to subversion. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him and we wish him a long and happy retirement. Guided Talk what is it and why should we do it? Children learning English as an additional language need opportunities to hear language modelled and to have opportunities to rehearse language across the different curriculum areas before they are asked to write.
