Matters Arising

The Chair updated the Committee in respect of minute no. 32 which referred to a scrutiny request received from Councillor U Clay. The request asked scrutiny to examine the process for selection of a 2nd Gypsy Traveller Site. With reference to the previously agreed protocol for dealing with requests the Chair advised that, following advice and consideration of the matter, the request would not be upheld on the following grounds: (i) the issue is of a quasi judicial matter; (ii) the Councillor requesting the inquiry had a personal interest (iii) the matter may be more appropriately addressed by a body other than scrutiny. He recommended that no action should be taken by the committee. The Committee agreed and the chair undertook to write to Cllr U Clay giving explanation for the committee’s decision.

RESOLVED that the Chair write to Councillor U Clay detailing the decision of the Committee not to accept her request.

CABINET MEMBER QUESTION SESSION – COUNCILLOR M C CHILD, CABINET MEMBER FOR WELLBEING

Apologies for absence were received from the Cabinet Member. RESOLVED that the item be deferred to a future meeting.

ADULT SOCIAL SERVICES PERFORMANCE REPORT

The Head of Adult Services together with the Performance and Improvements Officer provided an update on performance in Adult Services during 2012/13. They highlighted a range of targets and improvement objectives and provided a clear picture of current performance and the issues and challenges the service faces in meeting targets. Positive feedback from the recent CSSIW Annual Performance Evaluation was also noted.

Areas of good performance included: ꢀ Delayed Transfers of Care; ꢀ Review of Care Plans; and ꢀ Younger Adults Support in the Community.

Areas for improvement included: ꢀ Older People in Residential or Nursing Care; ꢀ Balance of Care; and ꢀ Carers’ Assessments.

Challenges were identified as achieving a balance of care and the increasing demand for social care.

Members’ comments/questions focussed on: ꢀ The need for an effective strategic relationship with the Health
Board to avoid cost shunting between the authority and health authority when managing the increased demand for social care services and tacking budget pressures in a positive way
ꢀ Take up of the Direct Payments Scheme; ꢀ The need for clarification at a national level on what is deemed good performance in a difficult area such as adult social care services and achieving a balance of care;
ꢀ Managing an increase in demand for services (e.g. mental health) that may be due to welfare benefit reforms without additional resources

Page 5

Minutes of the Scrutiny Programme Committee (11.02.13) Cont’d ꢀ The need to remodel that way services are delivered to meet current and projected growth in demand and activity in adult social services – a strategic approach that may require a shift in spending from very high cost but low demand services, a review our older people strategies, and more done to support people in their own communities
ꢀ The need for ongoing scrutiny / monitoring of adult social services

42.

SWANSEA SAFEGUARDING ADULTS BOARD – ANNUAL REPORT

The Principal Officer, Mental Health, presented information regarding the Swansea Safeguarding Adults Board Annual Report and detailed the key issues and actions for delivery in 2013.

Members noted the areas the Safeguarding Board had achieved good progress in relation to:

ꢀ Managing Thresholds; ꢀ Timely Response to Referrals; ꢀ Interagency Involvement; ꢀ Risk Identification, Assessment, Management and Reduction; ꢀ Involvement of Vulnerable Adult/Family/Advocate.

Members asked questions in relation to the areas that have improved since the last audit and areas identified for improvement which included:

ꢀ Adult Protection Review; ꢀ Holding case conferences; and ꢀ Adult Protection Plan Review Meetings.

Main issues discussed: ꢀ the impact of establishment of regional Safeguarding and Protection
Boards to replace the current arrangements. This means the Swansea Safeguarding Adults Board will become a regional board based on the footprint of the ABMU Health Board (expected to be operational from April 2013)
ꢀ the need to improve the low level of compliance reported (39%) for
Adult Protection Plan Reviews carried out 6 weeks from final strategy meeting / case conference
ꢀ the effectiveness of partnership working amongst statutory and 3rd sector providers
ꢀ the ongoing challenge to ensure that safeguarding is everyone’s business and continued need to raise awareness and have early intervention and preventative measures
ꢀ the Social Services Bill being considered as a positive platform for improvement in this area

Page 6

Minutes of the Scrutiny Programme Committee (11.02.13) Cont’d In addition the committee suggested that the ways to publicise the safeguarding report should be explored by officers (headlines, key achievements actions and challenges) to ensure more strategic use of the report and wider consumption

43.

BRIEFING ON SOCIAL SERVICES COUNCILLOR ROTA VISIT ACTIVITY

The Principal Officer, Commissioning Support Unit, provided a briefing in respect of the previous six months Rota Visit Activity. He detailed the management and support, current performance and trends and assessment.

Members asked questions of the Officer who responded accordingly. Main issues discussed: ꢀ it is a really important activity, both helping councillors to learn about what services are delivered and the opportunity to meet with service users and staff, and enabling them to raise any issues. It’s not meant to be a formal inspection.
ꢀ some members of the committee reflected upon their own positive experiences undertaking visits
ꢀ it was clear that it rota visits were welcomed by homes but there is a need to consider ways to improve and make the activity more effective and have more impact – given varying levels of activity and participation
ꢀ how can we publicise outcomes amongst councillors to raise the profile and importance of rota visits

Furthermore, Members discussed areas for improvement in relation to Rota Visit Activity and made a number of suggestions:

A query was raised by members about the ability to undertake similar visits to private homes, particularly were the authority has contracted places. It was indicated to the committee that there was no automatic right of entry but members were concerned how (outside of the formal inspection regime) the authority was able to check / monitor the quality of service provided. It was agreed that this could be explored further by scrutiny.

RESOLVED that:

  • (i)
  • the following suggested improvements be considered by the

Cabinet Member for Well Being / Corproate Director (Social Services):

ꢀ more structured briefings / training for councillors on the process, expectations, ways to engage with staff and users, asking the right questions, how to feedback effectively etc. It

Page 7

Minutes of the Scrutiny Programme Committee (11.02.13) Cont’d was noted that more detailed information about the establishments is given out to help councillors prepare and make the most of the visit
ꢀ a tracking system for completion of feedback / report from councillors
ꢀ arranging periodic reflection sessions for councillors to evaluate the process and effectiveness of rota visit activity and any barriers
ꢀ improving the transition around the time of the election of new councillors
ꢀ amending the current feedback forms to enable councillors to suggest actions following their visits

  • (ii)
  • the issue of inspection / visits to private care homes be added to

suggestions for next year’s scrutiny work programme.

44.

FOLLOW UP ON PREVIOUS SCRUTINY BOARDS

a)

Support for Carers

The Principal Officer, Commissioning Support Unit together with the Social Care Planning Officer updated the Committee on progress in respect of the action plan produced in response to the recommendations agreed by Cabinet on 5 July 2012.

Members’ asked questions of the Officers who responded accordingly.

The committee was pleased with progress in terms of the Carers Strategy Measure and lead now being taken by the Health Board. Though it was noted there was still ongoing discussion of the funding of certain services (e.g. Swansea Carers Centre). Members were very pleased about the action taken to develop a Young Carers Strategy / Action Plan for schools to adopt. They were also very pleased with the way the education service has been supportive and proactive in working with social services to revitalise efforts.

A question about the impact of welfare reform on carers was raised and work to provide advice and assistance. It was agreed that the Welfare Reform Working Group recently established by the committee should pick this up.

A remark was also made about the age profile of carers and different challenges that may present.

RESOLVED that as good progress had been made monitoring of the review be concluded.

  • b)
  • Role of Councillors as Corporate Parents

The Cabinet Member for Well Being provided a final progress report on implementation of the scrutiny recommendations and agreed action plan.

Councillor P R Hood-Williams was invited to speak as vice-chair of the original scrutiny review. He sought views from Members regarding their training in relation to Corporate Parenting. Members reflected positively on the corporate parenting induction event earlier in the year.

Committee members shared their views and understanding of corporate parenting. It was accepted that some councillors had a particularly key role in this although acknowledged the part that all councillors could play, particular as many are also school governors. Some indicated the need for further seminars / briefings to ensure members are aware of the importance of corporate parenting and equipped to discharge their responsibilities.

The Head of Child and Family Services, assisted by Administration & Business Manager, answered Members’ questions.

The work of the council’s Corporate Parenting Forum was cited as particularly important in championing and promoting the role and considering what would help to ensure that councillors are engaged.

The committee was happy with progress made in response to the scrutiny recommendations. In addition to Cabinet, the original scrutiny review and council made a number of recommendations to the Corporate Parenting Forum and it was agreed to follow those up by writing to the chair of the Forum. This would conclude monitoring of this review.

RESOLVED that:

  • (i)
  • progress with the implementation of recommendations be

accepted and monitoring of the review be concluded; and The Chair write to the Corporate Parenting Forum, on behalf of the Scrutiny Programme Committee, asking how the Forum has developed since the original scrutiny review and progress against recommendations made.

  • c)
  • Support for Care Leavers

The Cabinet Member for Well Being provided a progress report on implementation of the scrutiny recommendations since the action plan agreed by Cabinet on 5 July 2012.

Councillor P R Hood-Williams spoke as the chair which carried out this piece of scrutiny and expressed his pleasure that officers were proactive in acting on the scrutiny recommendations. He noted current progress and that the action plan was not fully implemented yet.

The Head of Child and Family Services, together with the Administration & Business Manager, answered Members’ questions.

The committee recognised care leaving as a very complex area linked to a wide range of services with different agencies involved. It was noted that the current economic climate was making things even harder for care leavers to access employment, training etc.

  • Pre-Industrial Swansea: Siting and Development

    Pre-Industrial Swansea: Siting and Development

    34 PRE-INDUSTRIAL SWANSEA: SITING AND DEVELOPMENT Gerald Gabb Abstract This article is an investigation of what, in the eleventh or twelfth century, drew its founders to the location where Swansea grew up, why their successors remained there, and how and why the settlement developed the form it did. Starting with the Norse origins of Swansea followed by its Norman developments, the article draws on what limited evidence is available, including archaeological evidence from recent excavations. The article considers the importance of Swansea’s topography as a trading port and discusses some of its important medieval buildings, including the castle and major churches. This article is an investigation of what, in the eleventh or twelfth century, drew its founders to the location where Swansea grew up, why their successors remained there, and how and why the settlement developed the form it did. It addresses data from at least seven centuries, across which continuities figure strongly. Even when John Evans published his ‘Plan of Swansea’ in 1823 the area of the town had only crept a little beyond the perimeter of the town walls of the fourteenth century.1 Industrialization was soon to trigger rapid expansion, but what follow are some thoughts on the slower changes which came before that. Two things should be borne in mind. In any study of this sort, direct evidence is minimal. To adopt the technique of reductio ad absurdum for a moment, there is no extant report made by a steward to the first lord of Gower, Henry, Earl of Warwick, on the best place for his caput castle and town, nor, and this is less ludicrous, a burgess minute from the 1640s on where the new market house should go.

The aim has been to show which ancient parish (and where possible, modern ecclesiastical parish) each is in, with details of which local authority it has been part of over the years, which estates owned land in the area, and its location. Locations are given in two ways. The abbreviation NGR has been used for National Grid Reference, which is given correct to 1km. The Ordnance Survey County Series sheet is also given; see the keysheets on the next few pages. In addition, the ancient parish and, where relevant, the parish division, are also given for each place described. This should make it possible to locate each place on the tithe map, as well as superseded and current Ordnance Survey maps at a scale of 1:2500.

    Penderi Cluster IMTP 2020-2023

    Integrated Medium Term Plan (IMTP) 2020 - 2023 1 | P a g e Welcome to the Penderi Cluster IMTP 2020 – 2023 Section 1 Executive Summary Welcome to the Penderi Cluster Plan 2020-2023 which highlights the Cluster vision and priorities and how we will achieve them over the next 3 years. The Cluster has made great strides forward in tackling the ‘prevention’ agenda and has developed new and innovative ways of working that have reaped benefits in terms of supporting practice sustainability and addressing the Quadruple Aims outlined in Welsh Government’s A Healthier Wales (2018). The Cluster has come a long way over the past 6 years. We have taken an innovative, preventative approach to supporting children & families by developing and testing a new model of working in partnership with the Local Authority. The ‘Primary Care Child and Family Wellbeing Service’ takes a holistic approach to supporting children and families experiencing mental health issues and developmental delay in the family home. The model proved so successful in the Penderi that it has been rolled out to a further two clusters in Swansea. This ‘upstream’ approach has demonstrated improved wellbeing outcomes for children and their families..I am delighted to say that the project has won an NHS award in the ‘Improving Health and Wellbeing ‘category Other innovative projects that have been supported within the Cluster include: the Penderi Young People’s Project that supports 11-25 year olds with their emotional and mental health. Carers Helpdesks have been introduced working collaboratively with Swansea Carers Centre. The practices in the Penderi Cluster are piloting the West Glamorgan GP Carers accreditation scheme.

Purpose of Report The purpose of the report is to provide the Joint Committee with an appraisal of the Service trading and operational performance for the current year to date. 2. Connection to Corporate Improvement Objectives / Other Corporate Priorities. 2.1 None 3. Background 3.1 The Joint Supplies Service (JSS) provides a one stop purchasing facility for each of the partnering Authorities, through delivery via stores and a direct sourcing function for items of common and repetitive spend. It demonstrates savings to corporate customers and schools through economies of scale, which can be used in service delivery. 3.2 The Joint Committee has previously agreed the practice of the holiday break closure of the JSS during the Christmas and New Year period. The practice was introduced several years ago in response to the increased tendency of Service customers (staff) to extend the statutory public holiday period, the school term and supplier closures over the same period, culminating in the virtual absence of any service requirement of the JSS 3.3 The Joint Committee approved the revenue budget for 2011/12 of £1.27m (offset income of £1.27m) and as part of the Service management framework, budget projections are reviewed regularly and reported to Committee. 4.0 Current Position 4.1 Summary Financial Position at 31 st August 2011 4.1.1 A summary of revenue budget expenditure/income for the first five months of the financial year and projected outturn for 2011/12 is provided in the table below: 1 Table 1- Comparison of budget against projected spend at 31st August 2011.
