Lancashire Adult Learning is an Adult Education College providing opportunities for individuals to learn, develop, work and prosper, at all stages of life. The College is focused on making Lancashire a place where everyone matters; a place where everyone can enjoy equal and quality life chances and be respected in their communities.

The Exciting Role
RIPP stands for 'Regional Improvement Plan Pilot'.

The project has been introduced as a result of the chronic shortage of foster carers across the North-West. The DFE funded project is focussed on attracting individuals to residential Childcare Services (children's homes), to allow children in care to reside in close proximity to the areas they live in.
