  • Mifriendly Cities – Migration Friendly Cities Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton 2017/18-2020/21
    MiFriendly Cities – Migration Friendly Cities Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton 2017/18-2020/21 Summary In partnership with Coventry City and Wolverhampton City Councils, Birmingham City Council has been successful in securing EU funding to deliver a three year MiFriendly Cities project. The project, which is backed by West Midlands Combined Authority, will see the three Councils working together to develop new and innovative activity which can help integrate economic migrants, refugees and asylum seekers into the West Midlands. This approach provides an opportunity for Birmingham City Council to explore how it can work with partners and migrants in a way which can help to expand the current range of activity, which mostly focuses on addressing the basic needs and legal rights of migrants. As part of this approach there is a particular focus on changing attitudes to migrants, developing employment pathways, social enterprise and active citizenship. Coventry City Council will be managing the whole project but Birmingham City Council will be required to project manage and coordinate activity which specifically relates to Birmingham, across all the different work packages and activities. Birmingham has also been asked to lead the regional work on “Active Citizenship”. Introduction Following a competitive bidding process “MiFriendly Cities” was chosen by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as one of three projects across Europe which they would like to support. This was from two hundred proposals which were submitted. To support the delivery of the MiFriendly Cities project the EU is providing €4,280,640 over three years to Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton City Councils. This is irrespective of the Brexit process and the UK leaving the EU in 2019.

  • Health and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee Review of In
    Health and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee Review of In-House Enablement Service Advice Note from LGA Care and Health Improvement Adviser Introduction This paper builds on the advice note prepared for O&S Committee in August which highlighted the recent papers produced by Institute for Public Care at Oxford Brookes University, in particular “New Developments in Adult Social Care” (January 2019) https://ipc.brookes.ac.uk/publications/new-developments-adult-social-care.html In summary, in August report said: The challenges facing Adult Social Care – from changing demography, from changing expectations from local people and as a Care Act requirement - increasingly require responses that avoid the need for people to come into the formal care “system” by building on their own and their family assets and providing community connections that support them to lead the lives they want. Even for those eligible for more formal care and support the aim should be to promote people’s independence to enable them to lead the life they want. Hence “promoting independence” needs to be an underlying philosophy to all services rather than, or as well as, a discrete service. At the same time, it’s helpful to understand how “promoting independence” best works for people in different situations (e.g. people leaving hospital, people with long term conditions, people with mental ill-health) and to have a typology of support to reflect this. This approach helps to reduce demand and make best use of resources but should primarily be seen as a way of delivering better lives for local people.

  • Social Determinants of Health and the Role of Local Government
    Social determinants of health and the role of local government Report Social determinants of health 1 Foreword The desire for good health can be seen all around us, whether in people taking more exercise or in trends on social media. The COVID-19 pandemic has added to concerns about health and wellbeing. It is common to receive emails that begin with the general greeting: “I hope you are well”. In local government it is important to consider what we can do to improve health within our communities, so that residents live longer happier and healthier lives. Health is often thought of as more of a concern for the NHS than for local government, but in reality, local government has an even greater potential to influence health improvement than does the NHS. As was quoted in the recent All Parliamentary Report on longevity: “We have been caught in a false view that our national health means the NHS.”1 Health improvement has always been a fundamental responsibility of local government and this was emphasised further with the transfer of public health responsibilities in 2013. It is now seven years since that transfer. It is 10 years since the landmark publication of the Marmot report, ‘Fair Society Healthy Lives’2 and it is also 10 years since the Local Government Association (LGA) last produced a report on the social determinants of health.3 The role of local government at that time was set out as the following: as an employer; through the services it commissions and delivers; through its regulatory powers; through community leadership; through its well-being power.
