Adult learning strategy: island and communities impact assessment

9. Conclusion

9.1.1 Through the work undertaken to produce this impact assessment, it is clear that living in island communities presents challenges for adult learners accessing and progressing through learning.

9.1.2 These challenges are not unique to these communities and our conclusion is that the strategy's focus on removing barriers to learning and increasing opportunities for adult learners are likely to have a positive impact on island communities.

9.1.3 At this stage of the strategy's delivery and implementation further ICIA action is not required and no mitigation measures are required.
