LG Inform Learning Day

Editor's Notes

• #9: Our definition of the new service…..
• #10: LG Inform has been a programme that has developed from an initial prototype to a matured system. This has been done with the involvement of the sector and a number of authorities have played a pivotal role in it’s development.
• #11: The learning group authorities were selected not only because of interest in this area, but also to get a mix of types/ size/ geographical location and political mix, to ensure that when it is rolled out more widely other authorities feel that it would be something they would use as their needs will have been taken into account in the prototype development. They are helping us develop the tool, and providing user testing and feedback.
