• improve the English, Maths and Language skills of mothers and fathers (or carers) and their ability to help their children

3. Personal and Community Development Learning (PCDL) is learning for personal and community development, cultural enrichment, to acquire a new skill or to pursue an interest. In most cases there would be no formal qualification outcome attached to such learning.
