Summary

The Edinburgh Partnership meeting on 11 June 2024 focused on the approval of the Community Learning and Development (CLD) Plan and the review of the Transformation and Improvement Programme. Key decisions included the adoption of the CLD Plan and the endorsement of the ongoing Transformation and Improvement Programme.

Community Learning and Development (CLD) Plan

The Community Learning and Development (CLD) Plan was a major topic of discussion. The plan aims to enhance educational opportunities and community engagement across Edinburgh. The council highlighted the importance of the plan in addressing educational inequalities and fostering community cohesion.

Councillors debated the merits of the plan, with some expressing concerns about the allocation of resources. One councillor noted, While the CLD Plan is ambitious, we must ensure that it is adequately funded to achieve its goals. Ultimately, the plan was approved, with a commitment to monitor its implementation closely.

Transformation and Improvement Programme

The Transformation and Improvement Programme was reviewed, focusing on its progress and future steps. The programme aims to modernise council services and improve efficiency. Key areas of progress included digital transformation and enhanced service delivery.

Councillors discussed the challenges faced during the implementation, such as resistance to change and budget constraints. One councillor remarked, Transformation is never easy, but it is necessary for the future sustainability of our services. The programme was endorsed, with a recommendation to continue addressing the identified challenges.

Rolling Actions Log
