How good is the learning?
Wherever you see our Learning Destination logo you can
be sure that the learning is good. With the support of Professor
John MacBeath of the University of Cambridge, the CU Trust has
developed a unique and innovative framework for quality assuring
all CU learning. The process is developed through Planning for
Learning which sets out a rigorous process of self-evaluation
for all our learning providers.
The process is completed in partnership with an accredited
validator, usually from the local CU. Learning providers are
validated for a defined period and may add additional activities as
their programmes develop. It is important to note that the CU Trust
validates the learning offered by each provider. The providers
themselves retain complete responsibility for all matters relating
to public liability. Learning providers are designated as either
restricted Learning Destinations, if they are a school and
only accessed by the school's pupils, or public Learning
Destinations, if they are available to all.
Once the validation process has been completed and the outcomes
agreed, public Learning Destinations are published on
the Children's University Trust website. Children and parents
can then access a growing bank of public Learning
Destinations to visit after school, during the school holidays
or at weekends. Information on restricted Learning
Destinations is only available through the child's
school.
