Community and Learning Partnerships
Community and Learning Partnerships (C&LPs) are now fully established across Staffordshire with 34 Phase 1 partnerships and 16 phase 2 partnerships which came fully on line in April 2008. Each partnership looks at services that can be delivered in the C&LP area and how to make such services more accessible. There will be childcare on offer in the area and more clubs and activities for older children too. However, it is important that local people and children let the partnerships know what they think will work, to help the community, and the C&LPs will be asking them in various ways.
