Governance, Policy and Research
Support for Policy Initiatives
Over the next few years there will be significant change in the post 16 education and training sector with the college mergers, the impact of the Review of Public Administration, and the developments of the framework for achievement along with the implementation of the Skills Strategy for Northern Ireland. There will inevitably be a number of policy initiatives introduced by Government.
LSDA NI has a range of expertise and resources available to support organisations with the challenges of implementing policies at individual, department and organisation level.
Support for Local Research
LSDA NI research service offers a search facility that can range from providing evidence for the introduction of new curriculum areas, best practice in employer engagement through to evaluation of new initiatives like the Vocational Enhancement Programme, and the impact of the increased demand for ESOL provision.
A number of research reports are already available on the TLC web portal covering the areas of: employer engagement; 14-19 curriculum; governance funding and accountability; leadership; e-learning and m-learning.
LSDA NI also supports small scale action research projects.
