New Towards Independence resources

We're pleased to inform you that new resources to support our Towards Independence programme are now available to download.

Designed for learners working towards Entry level 1 and upwards, Towards Independence provides a framework of activities to develop and accredit personal, social, work-related and independent living skills.  

With over 80 modules, the programme offers formal recognition for small steps of personal achievement towards individual goals for adults and learners preparing for adulthood.   

ASDAN has undertaken a full review of its Towards Independence programme to update its content and ensure it continues to positively impact learners and create meaningful outcomes.

 

Digital resource packs in members' area 

Towards Independence resource packs have been developed for the following modules: 

  • World of work 

  • Relationships 

  • Relationships: Sensory modules 

For those who have purchased the new books for these updated modules, the resource packs will be available under digital downloads in the members' area account tab. The resource packs include optional supporting materials and engaging activities.

There is now a range of downloadable resource on the Towards Independence course page, including: 

  • a selection of renewed Towards Independence learner worksheets developed by ASDAN and its members 

  • evidence templates to support the collection of portfolio evidence 

  • a range of blank template portfolio sheets 

  • plan and review sheets for use on the project section of each module 

  • a selection of resources from the Starting out and Starting out: Sensory modules to give opportunity for accessibility adaptations, such as the Person-centred toolkit, My learning journey, Module reflection and Next steps 

  • extension pages for mandatory planning and summative achievement records from Starting out to support continued use of tutor documents through delivery of multiple modules 

  • an updated moderation checklist will be made available alongside the pre-2024 checklist to support the transition and overlap of previous and new materials
