The Learning Community Partnership (LCP) is the mechanism we use to map, profile, identify, plan, monitor and evaluate partnership learning opportunities and improvements across Huntly area Learning Community.

The LCP will feed into the Local Community Planning Group and the Area GIRFEC Group.

Aberdeenshire Council's CLD Service piloted a Local Learning Community Partnership in Fraserburgh in 2014. This group was involved in the HMIe inspection of the Fraserburgh Learning Community and was evaluated as an appropriate mechanism to bring partners together locally. Aberdeenshire Council approved the formation of the Aberdeenshire Learning Communities Partnership and the rolling out of 17 Local Learning Community Partnerships on the Fraserburgh model. “To deliver on the Requirements of the SSI and those of HMIE Learning Community inspections there is a need for 17 Local Learning Plans developed. These plans will cover the learning needs identified within the Learning Community networks surrounding each of Aberdeenshire’s Academies and ensure we deliver on the national priorities for CLD: Improved life chances for people of all ages through learning, personal development and active citizenship; stronger, more resilient, supportive, influential and inclusive communities ”Report to Corporate Management Team 16th October 2013, Requirements for Community Learning & Development (Scotland) Regulations 2013.
