As specialist arts institutions most NALN colleges were and continue to be members of their local 14-19 consortia contributing to the planning and delivery process, planning and delivery of the Creative and Media Diploma.

Some ways in which NALN institutions contributed to their local consortia delivering the creative and media diploma are:
 

• support with assignments;
• curriculum input on the extended project offering extension for the more able student;
• specialist input on industrial processes and using specialist equipment;
• CPD for teaching staff delivering the diploma. 

Regional Learning Networks have now been set up across the country to support the delivery of the diploma. The networks are keen to reach out for Higher Education representation.

Mark Crawley, ukadia’s Director of Widening Participation and Progression is a member of the national steering group for the regional networks.
