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

Members received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding the Connecting Communities Update.

Members were very supportive of the work to date and noted the progress made with some of the Afghan refugees who were now job-ready, having undertaken interview workshops with their case workers. English lessons were being delivered, as well as tablets for learning.

Members were reminded that anyone was eligible who were 18+ living in London Boroughs, who are out of work and out of full time education. This included part time employment and zero hour contracts.

Details on how to register could be made available on request.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
