  • Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston
    Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston Bartley Green Reservoir INTRODUCTION Welcome to our fifth newsletter! This month we are focusing on Edgbaston Constituency. The Prevention and Communities (P&C) Commissioning Team are promoting the fantastic, and wide ranging, work happening all over Birmingham. This month it is Edgbaston’s turn to showcase some of what has been achieved with our voluntary and community sector partners. This newsletter will share Edgbaston stories from the different services this team manages and supports including: The Neighbourhood Network Scheme The Prevention and Communities Grants Programme Vulnerable Adults Grants What do we mean by Prevention? Adult Social Care’s Prevention First Vision is about supporting people to lead, “happy, independent lives in their own homes and communities.” Adult Social Care has been changing how we work, taking more time to listen and understand what a good life looks like for people. We are connecting them to the support they need in their community before looking at traditional forms of care. This is known as the Three Conversations approach. To ensure there is community-based support people need and want, our commissioning team have been investing in organisations that can deliver or develop this. Our focus is on support that can improve wellbeing and independence by: reducing isolation, increasing opportunities to be active, maximising income, helping to maintain homes and supporting carers. Please tell us what you think of the newsletter We would love feedback on the newsletter to help us make these really beneficial for social work teams and others who would find these updates useful.

  • Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2019
    Birmingham City Council Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2019 Flood Risk Management Annual Report Report of the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure - March 2019 1. Introduction A scrutiny review of Flood Risk Management and Response was published in June 2010. This set out 12 recommendations which were completed in 2010. In June 2010, The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 passed into law conveying new responsibilities and making Birmingham City Council a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). This report highlights progress in addressing these statutory responsibilities and provides an update on other flood risk management related issues. This report also provides an update into areas for improvement identified in the review of the May 2018 flooding conducted by members of the Sustainability & Transport O&S Committee on 19th July 2018. 2. Flood and Water Management Act Duties The following work has been undertaken to fulfil the LLFA duties under the Flood and Water Management Act. 2.1 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Birmingham, October 2017 continues set out the objectives for managing local flood risk and the measures proposed to achieve those objectives. 2.2 Cooperation with other Flood Risk Management Authorities The LLFA continues to cooperate extensively with other risk management authorities (RMAs) at various levels as established in the 3 tiered flood risk management governance structure. 2.2.1 Strategic Flood Risk Management Board The Strategic Board last met in December 2017 and due to the loss of a number of Flood Risk Management staff it was not possible to convene a meeting during 2018.
