We focussed on three sections of the Act; prevention, finance and eligibility. The results of our engagement are summarised in this report. Prevention Participants highlighted the need for more support services for carers and service users. There was a call for improving and increasing access to services for social interaction and recreational activities to encourage the community to remain fit and healthy. When asked about accessing information, participants identified the need for one point of contact to simplify the process. Most labelled their GP as the most important individual to go to for information. It also became clear that the local authority should make better use of networks of organisations, and that there was a need for better integration between services, carers and service users. Finance Responses to question on renting out the home to cover the cost of care were mixed. Many participants said they would not want to rent their homes; others expressed the need for logistical support, good communication from the council and good management of the process. Eligibility A separate survey on eligibility showed a high level of uncertainty about the eligibility criteria. Concerns were raised over a perceived lack of personalisation and flexibility affecting the ability to maintain the existing level of access to care. The importance of personalisation was consistently repeated. Individuals want one point of contact, one social worker and information from the GP. Also repeated regularly was the need for the local authority to improve their relationship with the community through open, transparent and clear communication and to work in partnership with the NHS, carers and service users to coordinate care in a meaningful way. Introduction Healthwatch Richmond is at the heart of the local community. As the independent local consumer champion for health and social care, we play a key part in enabling people to become active residents. We effectively engage and involve individuals, organisations, professionals and the wider public to facilitate genuine improvements in health and social care services in Richmond. Healthwatch Richmond ensures people are aware of the health and social care services available to them and how they can get the best out of these services. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames presented us with an opportunity to support them with their engagement around the Care Act Consultation. We implemented a multi-channel engagement programme focussed on the Care Act working with key public stakeholders. The implementation period began on the 24th of July 2014 and ended on 12th of August 2014. This response is based on the findings gathered from all the work we have done during this period. What we did A number of methods were used to gather responses. Two online self-completion surveys on prevention and finance, and eligibility were conducted. We also provided the opportunity for the public to complete a free postal response survey. We received 64 responses to the surveys. A newsletter was produced explaining the Care Act in detail and was sent to the Healthwatch Richmond mailing list of 650 people. Additionally, we contacted and sent information to 26 organisations and sent posters and flyers to libraries and pharmacies and provided posters to be placed in the community notice boards. We also placed an advert for the event in the Richmond and Twickenham Times. We conducted 8 outreach sessions which involved around 150 participants in open- ended discussions about the Care Act. We also conducted a public event which engaged 65 individuals in a more in-depth explanation and discussion of aspects of the Care Act. Groups targeted through our outreach and engagement work included: carers, people over 65, service users, individuals with mental health needs and professionals. What we found We asked the following questions to participants during the consultation period, June- August 2014. The findings below are summarised from 8 outreach sessions across the Richmond borough, the Healthwatch Richmond Care Act event and through answers from the two paper and online surveys accessed through www.healthwatchrichmond.co.uk. Prevention Q1A.What could help prevent, delay or reduce the development of care and support needs and enable people to remain in their own home or continue caring for as long as possible? This question was intended to provide clarity to the local authority about the range of preventative interventions, the kinds of people who may benefit and the circumstances in which a person may benefit. The need for more support services for carers and service users was heavily emphasised. Community support was identified as a key support mechanism that needed to be increased in the borough. This included: More and enhanced support services; some carers found looking after their homes in addition to full-time caring was too much for them. “We need to be properly assessed, given the correct service for example, physiotherapy, meals on wheels, befriending, and help with housework.” Increased support for accessing regular social interaction Better transport facilities like free bus passes Day care centres Encouragement to use leisure and recreation facilities Better quality, longer visits from paid carers Better monitoring of domiciliary care providers More accessible peer support networks In addition, informal groups, networks and services which currently exist to support carers and service users were identified as needing extra help from the local authority in order to improve and continue their work. A large number of comments from participants highlighted the importance of GPs in the overall structure of care in the community. They were identified as having the potential to predict care needs and to provide a ‘social prescription’ for activities to enhance prevention. It was also agreed that GPs need to provide better information and signposting about community activities and organisations. Additionally, participants requested better integration between care services and the NHS and improved hospital discharge plans. Advocacy was also highlighted as an important service to have available, so individuals can access support and advice around their rights. The importance of personalisation was also drawn out of the responses to our engagement. Individuals want a single point of contact, one social worker, and information from their GP. Carers Our engagement included a question focussed on carers. As the Care Act gives the same rights to carers as service users, it was important to ask what kind of additional services would benefit carers in the community. If you are a carer, what services would help you to improve your wellbeing, remain healthy and able to continue caring? The majority of responses highlighted the need to be able to pursue personal interests, socialise and maintain active contact with support and peer groups. Having an opportunity to learn new skills was also identified as potentially contributing to their wellbeing. Additionally the following services were suggested: Support for the mental wellbeing of carers More respite care services Carers need support and information and encouragement in keeping fit and healthy More accessible peer support networks

  • Richmond Biodiversity Action Plan
    1 The Local Biodiversity Action Plan for Richmond Executive Summary This document is the culmination of many years’ work by many organisations and charities, including the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London Natural History Society, London Wildlife Trust, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, The Royal Parks, Thames Landscape Strategy and Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, professional bodies, communities and local residents within the borough. The Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) in Richmond sets out the strategic context of biodiversity, which was first raised at the Rio Summit in 1992. This led to the development of a UK Biodiversity Action Plan, which has raised public awareness of biodiversity and provided guidance on the preparation of Local Biodiversity Action Plans. This Local Biodiversity Action Plan for the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames sets out the framework for the protection, conservation and enhancement of wildlife within Richmond upon Thames. LBAPs are seen as an innovative approach to wildlife conservation as they are moving away from the traditional ‘naturalist’ approach, which to many appears elitist and unwelcoming, and are striving to broaden the constituency of those interested and involved. It is a widely held belief that making a Biodiversity Action Plan relevant to local people through active involvement and consultation will ensure pro-active action ‘on the ground’. The list of habitats and species in this plan is not exhaustive, although the Richmond Biodiversity Action Plan aims to concentrate on and prioritise those habitats and species, which are rare, in decline, or characteristic of Richmond, which will help raise the profile of biodiversity. The priority habitats within this borough, which are also of regional and national importance, are: Acid Grassland, Ancient Parkland/Veteran Trees, Broadleaved Woodland, Reedbeds and Tidal Thames.
