The E&B approach
A clear process.
Room to adapt.
The same principles guide a learner’s weekly plan and an organisation’s commissioned programme.
01Understand
Listen to the learner, family or organisation. Identify strengths, priorities, access needs and the context before agreeing the problem to address.
02Design
Agree a focused strategy, delivery format and realistic indicators of progress. Shape materials and activities around the people taking part.
03Deliver
Put the plan into practice through accessible teaching, facilitation or consultancy, with space to respond to what emerges.
04Review
Examine work, feedback and participation against the agreed goals. Refine the next stage together.
Recommendations distinguish research evidence, local observations and professional judgement. The relevant literature and limits of the available evidence are identified within each commissioned brief.
