Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services providing an update on the Creative Collaborative initiative.

Members noted that the Education Unit had not been successful in their application for a grant from Arts Council to support this initiative, but that all those involved were keen to continue with the original plans through other means. In particular, the initiative would include a focus on oracy.

A Member offered their support in providing connections between the Education Unit and Speakers Trust, an organisation that had previously expressed an interest in working with the City to improve oracy across the Family of Schools.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
