A representative of the Corporate Director for People submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing the Committee with an update in relation to on-going work to improve the quality of Children’s Centre support for parents in relation to parental wellbeing, skills and employment. Officers outlined what actions had been taken to improve the way the Council supports parents to access training and employment opportunities following two recent Ofsted reports in the Marple and Bredbury areas. An action plan had been developed in response to the inspections and it was anticipated that any associated actions would be fully implemented by the end of April 2014.

RESOLVED - That the report be noted.
