Thank you. Phase 2 consultation is now closed.
Thank you to those who contributed to the second stage of consultation. The team is busy analysing the data. Stay tuned for further information.
You can read the Consultation Paper responses and submissions that we have been granted permission to publish.
Why are we consulting?
We are seeking your input into the final design of the Professional Pathways project before implementation later in 2023. Specifically we are seeking input on the proposed draft framework and its uses, systems for recognition and continued professional development (CPD) contained in the Phase 2 Consultation Paper. This paper has been informed by the Phase 1 consultation, the results of which can be read in the Phase One Consultations: Research Report.
What are we trying to achieve?
We are trying to put in place the frameworks and structures necessary to support a diverse, valued and supported library and information services (LIS) workforce with the skills, knowledge and ethics needed to deliver quality library and information services that anticipate and meet the needs of the population into the future.

How will the feedback be used?
