Learning points are a way of passing on what people learn from working and talking together.  They record what the discussion was about, what questions the participants hoped to answer, what questions they felt were answered and, and what useful working principles emerged from it.

Learning points try to distil from the experience of the people at the discussion what worked and what didn't work as they tried to achieve their aims.  Our learning points encourage good practice and networking, build up a picture of what is happening in community regeneration, and keep a record of the journeys made by particpants.

The 3 Learning Points produced by SES on behalf of SCR are:
