Agenda item

Members considered the Adult Community Learning Service Report Card.

Members queried why only five learners have enrolled on the new course ‘Working with parents, introduction to Health and Social Care and level 3 Education and Training’. Officers noted that this was a new course and was currently being piloted. Officers continued that the course will shorten from 4 days a week to 3 and this may increase interest. Members stated that any further roll out of the course should take into consideration the location because it is difficult for some individuals to access the training due to poor transport links.

Members queried the figures for customer satisfaction and were concerned that the number of responses was quite low. Officers stated that this was misleading and generally only approximately 10% of attendees complete an evaluation form.

Members asked whether the team were looking to unlock funding from any potential Swansea Bay City Region deal. Officers stated that the team had been successful in identifying funding opportunities in the past and will continue to do so.

Following scrutiny the report was noted.
