This is about offering community access to suitable facilities and adult learning programmes.  If facilities are not suitable then there is no need to consult on demand or open them up.

• Facilities to which access may be provided by schools can include arts, sports (e.g. playing fields), ICT facilities and school halls etc.   An assessment should be made as to what facilities could be made available.
• Facilities should be opened up to the community in response to demand where it is practical to do so e.g. opening up a school’s sports facility only if it is suitable for use by adults and is readily accessible to the public.
• If consultation has shown that the community does not currently need any of the school’s facilities in the community then this part of the offer is met.
• Access can be at any time, which is practical, including during the school day.
• Access to adult learning can be met through schools themselves, or by other schools or facilities either within their own or another cluster or a local provider.
