Evidence of the Wider Benefits of Family Learning: A Scoping Review

IMG_7205_opt

This review forms part of the ‘Review and update of research into wider benefits of adult learning’ (Tender number: BIS/RBU/027/2011) commissioned from NRDC by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in early 2012. The overall aim of the larger Review was to update knowledge on the wider benefits of learning, with an emphasis on estimating, and, where possible, quantifying the value of these benefits to individuals and society. This part was intended as a scoping exercise to determine the potential for re-analysing national and international data sets, and undertaking more rigorous research to gather evidence of the wider impact of family learning, including family literacy and numeracy, on adult outcomes. This limited ambition stemmed from the fact that it was already known that the existing evidence base was exiguous.
