Yorkshire Generic Social Outcomes Pilot

Dales Countryside Museum EventThe GSO framework expands on the generic learning outcomes (GLOs), within the Inspiring Learning for All (ILfA) resource, to address social impact. In this piece of work, MLA Yorkshire's objectives were to:

  • Provide training, support and guidance for up to six pilot project teams in understanding the GSOs and how to apply them to one key, identified programme;
  • Evaluate the programme, providing guidance on using the value of the GSOs in this way, with suggestions for a successful methodology which could be followed by other museums, libraries or archives and addressing issues raised by the project.

The report covers the methodology and details of the facilitated work with participating organisations and evaluates the project and provides future recommendations for future work before drawing final conclusions. Further outputs from the project were the reports produced by the participating organisations and these are drawn on in this evaluation report and are available to download as separate documents.

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.  Continue reading
