  • Candidates for the Thames Valley Police Force Area
    Candidates for the Thames Valley Police Force Area On 6th May, you will be able to vote for your police and crime commissioner. Find out who your local candidates are and how to vote Contents About Police and Crime Commissioners 02 Matthew Barber The Conservative Party Candidate 04 Laetisia Carter Labour and Co-operative Party 06 John Howson Liberal Democrats 08 Alan Robinson Independent 10 Statement by the Police Area Returning Officer for Thames Valley 12 About Police and Crime Commissioners On 6th May, you will be able to vote for your Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC). The role of the PCC is to be the voice of the people and hold the police to account. Elections will be taking place in England and Wales. In London, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire, there will be elections at the same time for Mayors who exercise PCC functions. PCCs are responsible for the totality of policing in their force area and aim to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service. 39 PCCs will be elected across England and Wales, of which 4 are also responsible for overseeing the fire and rescue authority for their area and are called Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners (PFCC) – these PFCCs are found in Essex, Staffordshire, North Yorkshire and Northamptonshire). There will also be 3 Mayors with PCC functions elected in London, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. PCCs are elected by you and aim to cut crime and hold the force to account on behalf of the public. PCCs bring a public voice to policing, and they do this by: • engaging with the public and victims of crime to help set the policing priorities for the area and consulting on their Police and Crime plans; • ensuring the police force budget is spent where it matters most; and • appointing the Chief Constable, holding them to account for delivery of their objectives and if necessary, dismissing them.

    Sleepio in the Thames Valley Scaling digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for insomnia with the NHS 04 Sleepio & the Oxford AHSN FOREWORD FROM THE OXFORD ACADEMIC HEALTH Contents SCIENCE NETWORK (AHSN) 06 Executive Summary In October 2018, the Oxford AHSN and Big Health came 08 Challenge together to assess whether Sleepio - a digital CBT programme for insomnia - could bridge the treatment gap for insomnia in 14 Opportunity primary care. Fast forward to today, and over 7,000 people have accessed evidence-based CBT for insomnia and poor sleep. 22 Engagement & Outcomes This report represents a rich set of learnings for innovators 26 Cost Savings and NHS systems on how a fully automated digital solution can be successfully implemented at scale. We believe this project 28 Feedback represents innovation at its best, benefiting patients, clinicians, and commissioners alike. The NHS has shown that where there 38 References is the willingness and capacity to innovate, truly extraordinary feats can be achieved; all the more important in these challenging times. As we approach the completion of this project, we believe it is time for tried and tested innovations like Sleepio to be routinely adopted in the NHS, and embedded in commissioning and service delivery across the country. In this way, the very purpose of the AHSN Network - “transforming lives through healthcare innovation” - can result in millions of people getting access to solutions that really work, while at the same time offering cost savings to the NHS. We would like to thank all the stakeholders who have come together to make this project such a success and in particular, we are grateful to Innovate UK for their funding and ongoing support.

Our report highlighted the opportunities for the Thames Valley region in the years ahead and acknowledged the challenges of coordinating for growth in a region not recognised as such governmentally. The report called for joined-up strategy across the business community, public sector and other institutions to help support the region’s continued high performance and impressive contribution to the wider-UK economy. The report, and the framework it tabled, prompted many conversations with a wide range of stakeholders across the Thames Valley community, revealing an ever-increasing desire from the business community to coordinate their strategic efforts. As 2020 began we received confirmation that Brexit would indeed go ahead, led by a Government with a significant majority. Then, just as the implications were evolving and becoming clearer, we were hit by COVID-19. This report provides an initial analysis and commentary on how COVID-19 has impacted the Thames Valley and its economy as of August 2020.
