HBG employed a Learning Resource Coordinator to engage with community in Bromsgrove PFI scheme

HBG decided that the Bromsgrove schools PFI scheme should be a learning opportunity for the community. A Learning Resource Coordinator (LRC) was employed to liaise between the project team, the schools, the local community and the client. The LRC and site managers attended a series of school assemblies to explain what would be happening and to prepare the pupils for future site visits. This gave the pupils a fuller understanding of the impact that the project will have upon their day-to-day activities.
