Local authorities with statutory responsibilities for children's services 
"Focussed and good quality collaboration between schools and other educational providers, and with other statutory and voluntary sector organisations, has proved an effective way to improve the delivery of services and raise standards of education within communities."

London boroughs

 

The Local4Global strategy aims to develop a learning community which influences policy by establishing a model for working with local authorities in London.

 

The Humanities Education Centre (HEC) started to work with the five London boroughs in the North London Schools International Network (NLSIN) with each LA contributing a different aspect of the Global Dimension to share with the other Local Authorities. In addition to the original five NLSIN boroughs: Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest, HEC is working with a number of other London Local Authorities to develop the London Global Dimension Network of Local Authorities.

 

 

NLSIN boroughs:

Barnet

Perceptions of the Global South in the classroom

Camden

Global Learning Schools

Enfield

Global Learning for All strategy

Hammersmith & Fulham

Urban Studies

Haringey

Active Global Citizens

Newham

Southwark

Sustainability 2:

Tower Hamlets

Global Dimension in e-learning delivery

Waltham Forest

Sustainability: S3+

Wandsworth

Global Social Enterprise

 

HEC is in discussion with a number of other Local Authorities on joining the Network.

 

HEC has had several meetings with the UK Local Government Alliance for International Development. The Alliance aims to champion local authorities working in development across the country.

 

HEC attends, and contributes to the London Sustainable Schools Forum.

 

The Local Authorities involved in Local4Global have agreed to host and promote Local4Global events.
