📢An update on ACC Creative Learning Team 📢
Over the coming period, the Creative Learning Team will be changing, with a reduced and refocused offer aligned more closely to Community Learning and Development priorities and outcomes.
We want to reassure families, young people and partners that supporting Aberdeen’s children and young people remains a priority. We will honour existing commitments and will share with partners clear information about what is coming to an end and what will continue.
If you have any queries, please contact us at creativelearningteam@aberdeencity.gov.uk and we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction. We’ll share further updates as the new model develops.
Thank you for your understanding. by @creativelearningaberdeen
