Barriers
A number of significant constraints have been identified that may affect any organisation's ability to operate at the highest standards of sustainable development. The main ones include:
This guidance has been developed to help challenge these constraints and to give providers guidance and support to use sustainable development as a vehicle to help support sustainable communities and the viability of their own organisations.
- Lack of support or leadership from senior management. This is vital if sustainable development is to be truly embedded into an organisation.
- Linked to lack of senior level support is a segmented culture between teaching staff, learners and others with responsibility for implementing change across the organisation, as well as conflicting priorities from individuals.
- Lack of awareness of sustainable development. Without careful planning and prioritisation of the key issues, this is an over complex subject.
- Lack of time and money to devote to new initiatives or to maintain existing ones.
