Education Scotland is opening the existing online CoPAL (Communities of Practice in Adult Literacies) to include the full range of practitioners supported by its Communities team. A new CCB discussion group has been created in CoPAL. There is a discussion on CLD and community asset ownership and some useful links. If you are not yet a member of CoPAL, please go to www.copal.org.uk and sign up, then go to and join the CCB group.
