Decision Taken By: CABINET MEMBER FOR Communities
Decision No: D120036MEM
Date: 7th March 2012
Decision(s) and Reason(s)
Progress Project
Minutes
Details were given of a new project funded by the European Social Fund which was being introduced locally by TBG Learning to address the needs of families with multiple problems. The project sought to reduce worklessness within such families and it was noted that referrals to the programme would be made by a range of local partners including the Borough Council.
Concern was expressed about some aspects of the eligibility criteria and it was suggested that representations be made to the local MEPs to extend the support to family members in low level paid employment to help them remain in work.
Following consideration by the Communities Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Communities resolved that:
The Progress Project be supported and the Borough Council engage with local partners to help promote the assistance available to eligible families.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Communities Advisory Board of 7 March 2012.
