Cornwall Council’s Adult Education Service has been praised in a positive report from Ofsted.

Inspectors highlighted how the courses are helping to improve the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable learners and increasing their chances of gaining employment.

The Ofsted inspection report highlights the effectiveness of the service in carrying out the four recommendations since the last full inspection in November 2014.

A team of four inspectors spent two days in February inspecting the wide range of courses delivered in five main centres across Cornwall, including 110 community venues and 17 ‘link into learning’ centres.
