Family Learning

Banner for Family Learning

Welcome

Family Learning describes a whole range of activities and programmes where parents, carers, grandparents and children are involved in learning. Sometimes it involves the adult and children learning together, sometimes it involves parents or carers learning about how to help and support their children, both in school and in the home.

Child and Adult Learning

Lancashire Adult Learning

Lancashire Adult Learning recognises the value of Family Learning as a means of enhancing the quality of family life in Lancashire, as a vehicle for breaking the cycle of disengagement from learning and as an opportunity to promote the value of learning as a lifelong activity. Family Learning can create a dialogue within families about the value of learning and the value of shared learning.

In order to break this generational cycle of underachievement we must ensure that we are working with parents - as well as with grandparents and other primary carers - to support literacy and numeracy activities with their children
