Outstanding Family Learners of the Year nominations

The modern family is defined very broadly. A family unit can be made up of partners, siblings, parents, grandparents, carers, friends or lone parents.

However the family is made up, we want to hear the remarkable stories of how learning transforms family lives.

Families who are nominated must have undertaken some of their learning between January 2009 and January 2010.

Families were also eligible for special awards:

the Digital Participation Award (sponsored by BBC) will recognise learning where the use of new technology has been central;
the Intergenerational Award (sponsored by MLA) will award intergenerational learning in the Museums, Libraries and Archives sector;
the Power of Reading Award (sponsored by Booktrust) will recognise how the pleasure of reading or writing has inspired or resulted in an outstanding learning journey;
the Transformation Fund Award will award learners who have received funding from the Government initiative.

* All award categories are open to learners living in England only.
