This review of adult learning policy and provision in England as at the end of the 20th century, summarises the state of adult learning in terms of the institutional arrangements and policies, the extent of participation and factors influencing funding, the main issues facing policy makers and the policies they have adopted and that are planned.

This report presents the findings from a study commissioned by the European Social Fund (ESF) to develop a model for measuring 'distance travelled' under ESF supported projects and to identify tools for measuring individual employability gains with a view to developing proposals for monitoring 'soft' indicators at the national level. A review of existing literature which incorporated a survey of ESF-funded projects provided the basis of the information which was then used to design and develop a model to measure 'distance travelled'. Definitions of the terms 'soft outcomes', 'soft indicators' and 'distance travelled' are given and a guide to assist projects and organisations understand and implement systems for recording soft outcomes and distance travelled is provided as an appendix.
