Decision:

As per the recommendation.

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Education introduced a report to inform Cabinet of the response to the consultation over the proposed amalgamation of DeesideCollege and YaleCollege.  The response had been agreed by the Leader and Cabinet Member for Education prior to the meeting due to the need to respond by the deadline of 24 May, 2012.

 

            The Director of Lifelong Learning drew Members attention to the Council’s observations as detailed in the report.  Whilst supportive of the principles underpinning the merger proposal, there were some key areas in which the Council would expect and need clarification and involvement as both a key partner to the college and as a ‘champion’ on behalf of learners.    

           

            RESOLVED:

 

That the principle of the merger of the two Colleges be supported noting that there were also key risks to be addressed.
