The Strategy will need to link to the key findings of Aim 3 of the Merthyr Tydfil Adult Community Learning Area Strategy “poor essential skills will not only affect an individuals ability to secure employment but have a negative impact on health” and to the Child Poverty Strategy for Wales and the equivalent strategies within RCT and Blaenau Gwent.
