Hi folks

I've been linking with Colin on the CD SVQs and he got an update on this at the end of last week. It looks like City and Guilds are going to be contracted by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills to review the CD SVQs - and by extension look at the potential for CD MAs in Scotland. The person involved from the C&G team will be Sharon Frazer. More info to follow when we have it.

Colin and I are keen for this piece of work to be part of a wider review of the range and take-up of qualifications and accredited courses in community development available in Scotland, including those available to community volunteers and activists.
