• Family Learning is about improving ‘Outcomes for Families’ by supporting them to learn together, and aims to increase the self-confidence of learners and change attitudes to learning
• Family Learning gives parents/carers the opportunity to learn new skills and support their child’s learning in a fun and friendly way
• Family Learning provision is targeted at learners who generally have English and maths skills at below Level 2
• Family Learning successfully engages with hard to reach learners because the emphasis is placed on supporting their children rather than explicitly addressing/acknowledging Skills for Life need. This takes away any stigma of previous under-achievement and low skill base
• Knowledge is acquired from school but that knowledge is given a context by the family – e.g. children may learn to read at school, but it is often their families influence that creates a love of reading
