The Public Purpose Fund has provided 3-year funding for CCLCG's Learning & Development Program, and a one-year extension of funding for the Aboriginal Legal Access Program (ALAP). Both programs were piloted from December 2007 to June 2008 with earlier funds from the PPF. ALAP is yet to be fully evaluated so the additional one year funding will allow this evaluation to take place. Consultants Westwood Spice conducted an evaluation of the earlier Training Program and found that it had made substantial achievements including a doubling of training opportunities provided directly by CCLCG and a tripling of external training opportunities publicised to NSW CLCs. With the 3-year funding, the program will strengthen current initiatives and introduce innovative learning opportunities such as mentoring and online learning.
