Curriculum consultations — Kerrie King and Melanie Baggaley

A curriculum consultation is a collaborative meeting designed to explore how ASDAN’s programmes and qualifications can support an organisation’s curriculum and learner needs. During the consultation, we discuss current provision, learner profiles, intended outcomes and any challenges the organisation may be facing. The aim is to identify appropriate ASDAN courses and pathways that enhance engagement, support personal and social development, and provide meaningful opportunities for achievement and progression. The consultation also offers guidance on curriculum planning, implementation and progression routes, helping organisations to create a coherent and inclusive curriculum that supports learners to achieve their full potential.
