Regional Interest Groups (RIGs), run by volunteer NALDIC members, are free CPD networks for
educators supporting pupils who use English as an Additional Language (EAL).
They foster collaboration across schools, universities, and local authorities by sharing research, good practice, and updates on current issues. As EAL learner numbers grow, especially among refugee populations, RIGs fill the gap left by reduced government support and training, addressing varied regional needs and promoting professional development in an evolving educational landscape.
Delegates will have opportunities to share research, best practices, and updates on current issues.
