This review sets out the findings of the second annual learning review of data collected by Local Trust. It looks at what this can tell us about progress towards the Big Local aim and outcomes.
It builds on the first annual learning review – Early Learning from Big Local – and examines further the steps that are being taken towards achieving the overall aim and these outcomes. We have looked at four main questions to help us understand how residents and others in Big Local areas are starting to get involved, getting support, working towards a plan and beginning to influence change in the areas where they live.
