Update by Community Learning Service Team Leader

The Group considered a written update from the Live Argyll Community Learning Service, which included information around the election of three new local Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs). The update also included information in relation to Youth Action Groups; the outcome of support for learners which had been provided through the No One Left Behind (NOLB) initiative; and the results of the recent HMIE inspection of the Community Learning and Development team. An overview of the Youth Work Recovery Education Programme was also included in the update.

Decision

The Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Community Planning Group:

1.    considered and noted the information provided;

2.    noted that, in the absence of a representative from the Live Argyll Community Learning Service, any questions could be forwarded to Stuart McLean following the meeting and any responses would then be circulated to the Group; and

3.    agreed that congratulations should be sent on behalf of the Group to the newly elected Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament.
