Locality Working in Education: Why it matters and what it takes – a conference hosted by LGA in partnership with AEC Trust
Thursday 30 January 2025 | Transport House, 18 Smith Square, Westminster, London SWIP 3HZ
Over the last two years, nine local areas in England have been piloting locality-based approaches to tackling some of the biggest challenges in the education system including:
- Better support for vulnerable young people to meet challenges around attendance
- Developing new models of professional accountability including School Report Cards
- Exploring the potential benefits of working with Combined Authorities
The conference will provide an opportunity to learn from the work of the nine local areas and will draw out learning from across the pilots about the successes and challenges of locality working. It will also reflect on the implications for national policy and policymakers from this locality learning and in particular the key contribution that place-based working can play in unifying a fragmented system. The Project has been independently evaluated by Professor Toby Greany and Dr. Susan Cousin from Nottingham University.
