About the Learning Exchange

The Learning Exchange is the central landing space for local government colleagues who would like to engage in discussion with others, share materials, and view resources, including good practice from other local authorities. Place-based partners are also welcome to use the platform as the importance of cross-partnership working is recognised.

The Learning Exchange can be accessed and used by anyone who already has a Knowledge Hub log-in, however, there is also a closed 'Members' Area' for local authorities only. The Members' Area provides a closed environment where local authorities can engage in discussions and share resources between themselves. For example, this might be to share early reflections from a pilot, ask for guidance from others working on similar projects, or to ask for feedback on early-stage work.

LGA colleagues will monitor this platform to ensure support is offered where required. 

The LGA Learning Exchange is also linked with platforms set up by key partners. This platform will not duplicate that work, but instead bring it into one place. Information about the other online areas and why you may visit that space is as follows:
