liveArgyll – Update 
Argyll and Bute HMI CLD Argyll and Bute Council Progress Visit dates confirmed 8 January
2024 
HM (His Majesty) Inspectors have developed the following interim arrangements for implementation
from academic year 2023-24, to support improvement and provide external assurance of the quality
of CLD (Community Learning and Development) provision in Scotland. 
Through PVs (Progress Visits), HM Inspectors will take account of the extent to which local
authorities are fulfilling their statutory duties in relation to CLD. During PVs, HM Inspectors will
evaluate the progress local authorities and their CLD partners are making to improve the quality of
provision and services. All local authorities will be visited over the coming year.  As with previous
inspection models, the starting point will be the CLD plan and the local authority and CLD partners’
self-evaluation. 
The PV will last for three days, normally Monday to Wednesday. A timetable for the three days will
be agreed with the lead officer from the local authority.  (This process is now underway for CLD
Argyll and Bute Council’s Progress Visit).
