The Challenge of Change was published by UDACE (Unit for the Development of Adult Continuing Education) in 1986. The 1986 report made an immediate and lasting impact on the development and practice of adult guidance. It is still widely cited by colleagues writing and speaking about guidance. In particular the seven activities of guidance are in current usage in most services providing guidance for adults. However, it has been out of print for many years. So NAEGA has decided to publish this edited version of of the central chapters of The Challenge of Change, to make it available to members and the guidance community as an aid to further development of both practice and policy. The editor for this version of The Challenge of Change is Professor Jonathan Brown of the Open University who was founder chair (1982-86) and a Past President of the National Association of Educational Guidance for Adults (NAEGA). Jonathan Brown was a member of the UDACE Development Group which drafted the 1986 report.
