Cabinet Member Question Time Report Cabinet Cabinet Members’ Reports The following reports from Cabinet Members cover the period from 22nd July 2011. Leader - Ms Louise Goldsmith 1 The Leader gave a welcome speech to the Dementia Showcase Event on 15th September hosted by Sussex Community NHS Trust. The aim of the event was to provide social care and health professionals with new and different ways of supporting people with dementia and hearing about good practice. It was an opportunity for the Leader to talk about the work which the County Council has been involved in and to explain more about Age with Confidence. This is the title for the integrated approach that it is hoped will be used by all partners in the county: to help people plan for and experience old age with dignity and respect, to be able to continue to make a positive contribution and to remain healthy and independent for as long as possible. 2 The Leader has obtained support from the Select Committee Chairmen for Adults’ Services and Children and Young People’s Services for the appointment of lead members from each Select Committee to act as Safeguarding Guardians. The purpose of the role is to act as a member champion, to build stronger, visible links between the members of the Council and all County Council staff and facilitate a more informed focus on safeguarding through the Select Committees’ work. Further details on the role and expectations will be considered by each of the two Select Committees to enable them to make appointments at their formal meetings in November 2011. The appointments will also be communicated to all members via the Members’ Information Service at that point. 3 The Leader attended a fringe event at the Conservative Party Conference as a representative of the Local Government Association and the County Councils Network Health and Wellbeing group. The event explored the future of social care services in England and was hosted by the Chairman of the national All-Party Group on Ageing and Older People. The debate was an opportunity for the Leader, alongside other local authority councillors, to contribute to Whitehall thinking around the local responses needed to the Dilnot Commission’s findings and recommendations. There was a particular focus on the implications of an ageing population, which is a key issue for West Sussex. Deputy Leader and portfolio for Communities, Environment and Enterprise - Mr Lionel Barnard 4 The Deputy Leader attended an event, organised by Active Sussex, to announce the opening of nominations for the Sussex Sports Awards 2011 at the new Amex Stadium in Brighton on 2nd September. Fifteen awards covering all aspects of sport in Sussex were announced including University of Chichester Young Sports Personality of the Year, Sussex FA Volunteer of the Year and the BBC Sussex Unsung Hero Award. The Sussex Sports County Council Report 151 14th October 2011 Cabinet Awards highlight some of the county’s most deserving athletes, coaches and volunteers. A number of the Sussex 2012 Olympic hopefuls attended the event together with businesses, local authorities and past winners to celebrate the opening of nominations. One of the aims of the launch was for athletes to meet local businesses so they can support their efforts and help them to fulfil their ambitions for the London 2012 Olympics. 5 The County Council will be monitoring the progress of two pilot schemes in the New Forest and Peak District National Parks as part of the Government’s review of governance arrangements for National Parks. The Government is looking for ways to improve governance arrangements by increasing local accountability. One of the proposals is for members to be directly elected to National Park Authorities (NPAs) and the pilots will provide two different contexts on which to assess the impact of directly-elected members. In addition, the Government aims to permit variety between NPAs that would allow governance to better reflect their individual characteristics in line with the coalition Government’s commitment to localism. 6 The Deputy Leader attended the re-opening of Horsham Library on 3rd October. The library was closed for three weeks for the installation of self-service terminals that allow customers to borrow and return their books themselves. The new service, already in place at Crawley and East Grinstead, also allows better management of the books and a more flexible use of staff. Staff took the opportunity to improve the general layout and signage in the library to provide a better service for customers. Self-service terminals will also be put into Chichester, Haywards Heath, Worthing, Littlehampton and Bognor libraries. Cabinet Member for Adults’ Services - Mr Peter Catchpole 7 The Cabinet Member welcomes a new website, www.westsussexwellbeing. org.uk, which contains countywide and local information on topics such as being active, staying healthy and social support to help people remain independent and well in their own homes. There is a directory of local services, details of local events and advice for people, with seven sections of the website dedicated to the district and borough areas. In addition, people can telephone a local number to speak to a member of their local Wellbeing Service to get information and advice over the phone or arrange to meet an adviser. The website builds on the success of the wellbeing services already in place in Crawley, Chichester and Arun and launches new services in Mid Sussex, Horsham, Worthing and Adur. These new wellbeing hubs, websites and services are the result of extensive partnership working between the County Council, borough and district councils and NHS Sussex. 8 The Cabinet Member was pleased to support National Community Meals Week, which takes place between 3rd and 9th October. West Sussex is one of the few local authorities to continue providing a Meals on Wheels Service which, as well as providing nutritionally balanced meals, also checks on those who use the service to ensure they are safe and well. This can provide vital reassurance for friends and relatives. An open day on 6th October in Chichester provided an opportunity to taste the range of 152 County Council Report 14th October 2011 Cabinet meals offered. There were also a number of displays, advice on specific dietary requirements, and details on how to become a volunteer. Meals on Wheels in West Sussex is run by the WRVS and includes over 900 volunteers. To apply for Meals on Wheels, people can contact the service directly and contact information can be found on the County Council’s website. 9 The Cabinet Member has approved the start of procurement for a countywide Carers Support Service. A carer spends a significant proportion of their life providing unpaid support to a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems. West Sussex has in the region of 74,000 carers and it is estimated that the cost of replicating their work across West Sussex is £950m per annum. Services to support carers can take many forms and are provided both directly and indirectly. For example providing information, advice, emotional support, sitting services, carers’ one-off direct payments or indirect support as part of a package of care. The procurement will focus on the development of preventative direct access, where carers can refer themselves for health and wellbeing support, and is separate from services purchased by a social worker following an assessment of need. These are universal services, available to all residents of West Sussex who need them. 10 The Cabinet Member has welcomed the start of new contracts for day activities in the Pulborough/Chanctonbury and Shoreham/Lancing areas which began on 1st September. The contracts were let to Age Concern (Horsham) and Age UK (West Sussex) respectively and, in the period since they began, there has been a lot of activity to understand local needs, liaise with local voluntary and community organisations and to plan and start some of the new services. In both cases it is intended to offer services at a number of locations rather than all at one venue, reflecting the new model for the provision of day activities. In the Rother Valley area a community association has formed (Rother Valley Voluntary Community Care Association) to co-ordinate and commission community-based day activities for the area. Age UK (West Sussex) were successful in their bid to work as the delivery partner of ‘Rother Valley Together’ and the new services will start on 1st November. Cabinet Member for Children and Families (Lead Member for Children’s Services) - Mr Peter Evans 11 The Cabinet Member has welcomed the results of an unannounced Ofsted Inspection into the contact, referral and assessment arrangements of Children’s Services. The inspection report shows that good progress has been made since the last full inspection in 2010. The report has used terms such as ‘significant improvements’, ‘effective communication and collaboration’, and said ‘child protection policies and procedures are up to date and used appropriately to provide clarity in safeguarding work’. They have also stated that the establishment of the Children’s Access Point is improving ‘the consistency of contacts and referrals to children’s social care and the responsiveness of services to vulnerable children and young people’. The Cabinet Member is aware that there can never be any room for complacency and there are areas for development listed in the report, and County Council Report 153 14th October 2011 Cabinet these will be addressed with our partner agencies. The aim now is to ensure continued improvement through to the next full inspection and beyond. The Cabinet Member is grateful to all members for their continued support and encouragement as ‘Corporate Parents’.
