Issue - meetings

The Board received an update report on progress in the main programmes tackling worklessness in the borough including the Haringey Guarantee, Families into Work and the North London Pledge. The Board noted the increase in the number of registrations and the launch of the Haringey Guarantee Employer Zone in February 2009.

Meetings are ongoing with the LDA and NLSA regarding the potential expansion of the North London Pledge programme. The Board enquired as to the feasibility of developing an MAA (Multi Area Agreement) related to worklessness but were advised that an approach in relation to MAAs had yet to be formalised and that feedback on the Olympic borough’s MAA would be provided at the September Board meeting.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.

That the Board receive a report on the Olympic borough’s MAA at the September meeting to inform the development of an approach in relation to MAAs.
