The aims of CILT’s national conferences for LA Advisers are:

• to raise the profile of LA Advisers as a national body of expertise, and to provide a forum between you as a group and the national agencies
• to enable us all to meet, share expertise and foster a culture of co-operation
• to help us all reach a shared understanding of the issues facing the world of primary languages
• to draw on the expertise and experience of you as LA Advisers to develop best practice in particular areas of interest via our Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Conferences to date:

'Consolidating networks' - 7 February 2011, CILT London
