We are currently engaging members in the process of developing IACD’s Policy Position on an International Community Development Practice Standards, which we plan to launch at the World Community Development Conference in June 2018. The closing date for responding to this four month consultation is 31st March.
Following adoption of the IACD global definition of community development at the 2016 AGM, the IACD Training and Professional Development Committee established a joint project team in partnership with the Community Learning and Development Standards Council Scotland. This project team has now produced a Draft Guidance document that the Training Committee is putting out for member consultation.
You can find the document here IACD 2017 Draft Standards Guidance
The Training Committee wishes to have members’ feedback on the Draft Guidance over the next three months. Is this Guidance helpful for explaining your practice? Could it be used to inform community development posts job descriptions? Could it be used as a framework for the design of professional community development training?
