Page 2 Executive Open Report on behalf of Richard Wills, Executive Director for Communities Report to: Executive Date: 03 December 2013 Subject: Library Needs Assessment Decision Reference: I005893 Key decision? Yes Summary: At its meeting on 2 July 2013, the Executive received a report (“the July Report”) setting out the results of a Library Needs Analysis for Lincolnshire, a proposed revised structure for statutory library provision in the county and proposals for support to be given to communities to provide a network of community libraries. The July Report proposed and the Executive approved a staff consultation and a public consultation on the proposals set out in the July Report for the future shape of library provision in Lincolnshire. This Report informs the Executive of the results of that consultation and asks the Executive to consider the findings of the staff and public consultations and all other relevant factors including legal obligations set out in this Report and to approve a final proposal for the future shape of library provision in Lincolnshire. Recommendation(s): That the Executive approve:- 1. the model of library provision in Lincolnshire described in section 6 of the Report as the library service to be delivered by the Council in exercise of its duty under section 7 of the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service for people who wish to use it. 2. the delivery of support for communities of 550 households or more not served by a Tier 1 or Tier 2 library (as defined in section 6 of the Report) to access library stock on a regular basis consisting of (i) a package of support for communities to develop and run community hubs; or (ii) a mobile library stop described in and on the basis of the criteria as set out in section 8 and Appendix 10 of the Report. Page 3 3. the delivery to communities of less than 550 households not served by a Tier 1 or 2 library (as defined in section 6 of the Report) of a mobile library stop as described and on the basis of the criteria set out in section 8 of the Report 4. the delegation to the Executive Director for Communities in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Libraries, Heritage, Culture, Registration and Coroners of authority to conduct all processes (including employment processes), take all decisions, and enter into all documentation necessary to give effect to the above decisions. Alternatives Considered: 1 Not to make any change to library provision This proposal is not recommended because it would mean that whilst a more-than comprehensive library system would be maintained it would also remain financially inefficient. Library services are not immune to contributing to the savings required to be made by the Council as a whole and to maintain the existing system would not in the officers' view be the best means to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service as required by the Council’s duty under section 7 of the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964. 2. Adopt an alternative proposal for reshaping the library service in Lincolnshire by retaining all existing static libraries, reducing opening hours at all static and mobile libraries and introducing charges for the use of People’s Network computers. The principle of spreading library services more thinly across a greater number of sites was raised within both the staff and the public consultations and was the subject of a detailed alternative proposal submitted by a member of the public through the public consultation. That detailed proposal has been carefully considered and is dealt with in more detail in paragraphs 4.3.74 and 4.3.75 of this Report. This proposal is not recommended as it would retain an overly comprehensive library system which would be even more financially inefficient, with library buildings being open for fewer hours than at present, and a new barrier to access being introduced in the form of a general charge for computer use. Library services are not immune to contributing to the savings required to be made by the Council as a whole and to maintain the existing library network with fewer hours and new charges would not in officers' view best provide a comprehensive and efficient library service. Page 4 3 Appoint a third party to operate some or all of the library service in Lincolnshire. Again this was a proposal that emerged from the consultation in the form of two service-wide expressions of interest which promise to retain an overly comprehensive static library system and increase static library opening hours at the expense of rural mobile library provision. More detail of these specific proposals are set out in paragraphs 4.3.76 to 4.3.82 of the Report. More generally however the alternative proposal would be effectively to outsource the delivery of library services to a third party. It is not recommended for the following reasons (i) Due to the value of the contract which would be required, a competitive procurement exercise would be needed in order to comply with European Union Treaty obligations in relation to the award of public service contracts. This would take at least six months to complete and longer than that to implement, is not certain to deliver a comprehensive or efficient library service and would delay the achievement of savings by at least a year; (ii) The proposal would not deliver the kind of community hubs or community development that form a key part of the recommended proposals; and (iii) The proposals would not continue to provide mobile library provision that is highly valued by those that receive it as evidenced by the consultation responses. Reasons for Recommendation: The Council has a statutory obligation to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service for all persons desiring to make us of it. The Council must, however, provide this service in a financial context of severe austerity and falling Council resources. Analysis of the existing service has established that whilst it is comprehensive it is inefficient. A restructuring of the service as set out in this Report can be achieved which would continue to provide a comprehensive service, but more efficiently, saving £1.734m.

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

    OFFICIAL ANNUAL REPORT 1st January to 31st December 2015 Independent Monitoring Board MORTON HALL IMMIGRATION REMOVAL CENTRE Chair: Mr Michael Worth Vice-Chair: Miss Susan Summers 1 OFFICIAL OFFICIAL Section 1 STATUTORY ROLE OF THE INDEPENDENT MONITORING BOARD (IMB) AT THE IMMIGRATION REMOVAL CENTRE (IRC) MORTON HALL The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 requires every Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) to be monitored by an Independent Board appointed by the Home Secretary from members of the community in which the prison or centre is situated. The Board is specifically charged to: (1) satisfy itself as to the humane and just treatment of those held in immigration removal centres. (2) inform promptly the Secretary of State, or any official to whom she has delegated authority as it judges appropriate, any concern it has. 3) report annually to the Secretary of State on how far the Immigration Removal Centre has met the standards and requirements placed on it and what impact these have on those held in the centre. To enable the Board to carry out these duties effectively its members have right of access to detainees, the centre and also to the centre’s records. Appointed by the Home Office, Board members are unpaid and independent of both Her Majesty’s Prison Service (HMPS) and the Home Office. IMB Members are the only independent presence in the Centre on a day-to-day basis. IMB Equality statement Independent Monitoring Boards will not discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital and civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity, race including nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation, in recruitment, in the treatment of members, and in the way they monitor the treatment of people in custody.

  • The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5 December 2013 Lincolnshire
    OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5th December 2013 Lincolnshire Resilience Forum’s Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report 20th March 2014 1 OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report Foreword On Thursday 5th December 2013 a deepening pressure system combined with high astronomical tides and strong to gale force ‘north westerly’ winds to generate a coastal surge along the whole of the east coast of England, the largest surge since the ‘great storm’ of 1953. Due to advances in surge forecasting, flood prediction and contingency planning at national, sub-national and local levels we were able to ‘get ahead’ of the storm. From Tuesday 3rd December partners began deploying one of the largest multi-agency emergency response and recovery operations ever conducted in Lincolnshire. This included the most significant evacuation operation in recent memory, the rescue of a number of people who became isolated by floodwaters, and work to ensure critical services were maintained and damaged infrastructure quickly repaired. Thankfully there were only 3 (relatively minor) casualties as a result of the surge, but more than 720 residential and commercial properties were inundated from the resultant overtopping and breach of defences. I would like to pass on my sympathy and support to those whose households and businesses flooded. We continue to work to support a full community recovery, and I commend the work of colleagues at Boston Borough Council who have led this work. In the circumstances this was a very good, forecast-led response and recovery effort.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.
