Number 24 July 11 2014 Compiled by the Policy and Development Officer Number 24 July 11 2014 Compiled by the Policy and Development Officer. [email protected] Lawyers in Local Government LLG encourages its MO members to respond to the survey below. Jane Scullion will be sharing the data with LLG and this is a valuable way of LLG finding out the views and concern of members in relation to this sort of issue. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Jane Scullion, a former Monitoring Officer, now enjoying the life of an academic at De Montfort University’s Local Government Research Unit, is seeking the views of Monitoring Officers on the subject of social media use in councils. All responses are anonymised using licensed university software and she is not able to access the details of officers or identify councils from email addresses. She has sent individual emails to all councils but in case it didn't get through your system here is another opportunity to fill it in - it takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Here is the link: https://www.snapsurveys.com/wh/s.asp?k=140024759326 Department for Communities and Local Government https://www.gov.uk/government/news/innovation-to-bring-statutory-notices-into-the-21st-century Speaking to council leaders at Local Government Association (LGA) annual conference, Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles today (9 July 2014) called for new technology and innovation to bring municipal statutory notices into the modern 21st century era. Mr Pickles defended statutory notices as an important way of ensuring that local residents were informed of decisions that affect their property and lives. He also criticised the ‘sterile debate’ of the LGA arguing for the complete abolition of statutory notices replaced with nothing other than ‘an obscure notice’ on a council website. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/53000-troubled-families-lives-turned-around Speaking at the Local Government Association annual conference in Bournemouth today (9 July 2014), Communities Secretary Eric Pickles announced that 52,833 of the most troubled families in England had been put back on track by local authority teams since April 2012. This programme continues to make economic and financial sense. The ‘tough love’ approach. Cabinet Office https://www.gov.uk/government/news/growth-deals-firing-up-local-economies As part of its long-term economic plan to secure Britain’s future, the government today is agreeing a series of Growth Deals with businesses and local authorities across England. Cynics might say these are all the projects delayed on the abolition of the RDAs and the time it has 1 taken to sort out the LEPs and to submit their Strategic Economic Plans. The priority is now to ensure the LEP and LA decision making and procurement processes are sound. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-making-legislation This guidance sets out what bill teams need to do at each stage of preparing primary legislation and taking it through Parliament, from bidding for a slot in the legislative programme to gaining Royal Assent. This guide has been prepared by the Secretariat to the Parliamentary Business and Legislation Committee of Cabinet, with the advice of Parliamentary Counsel and the Offices of the Chief Whips, Leader of the House of Commons, Leader of the House of Lords and the Public Bill Offices of both Houses. It replaces the version published in July 2013. 319 pages all about taking a government bill through Parliament. If you become involved in the detail of a Bill, it would be worth referring to this tome so you know what the bill team will be doing. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-youth-services-survey-2013 This survey looked at how local authorities in England provide, as far as possible, sufficient services and activities for young people aged 13 to 19, and those with learning difficulties to age 24, to improve their well-being. The survey asked questions about each local authority’s statutory duty, other services and activities for young people and the challenges they faced when providing services. You may want to refer this to your relevant officers and policy officers and scrutiny officers as it does provide some opportunity for benchmarking and comparison. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/futures-toolkit-for-policy-makers-and-analysts The Futures Toolkit provides a set of tools to help embed long-term strategic thinking within the policy process, and explains how to ensure they have real impact. It is intended for policy officials and analysts across government. The toolkit brings together the best ideas and suggestions for ways to approach futures thinking. Experts across government, academia, industry, and third sector in the UK and internationally have contributed and provided insight for it. The Horizon Scanning Programme team, a joint Cabinet Office and Government Office for Science initiative, produced it. Worth dipping into, if only to understand what Delphi, 3 horizons, roadmapping and windtunnelling is all about. Make sure you policy officers take a look at this document which may help to provide a constructive approach to developing policy. Of course, it will never be as accurate and authoritative as political party dogma and prejudice. But it might provide a reason why political parties are no longer necessary for governments to work efficiently and effectively. Home Office https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-data-retention-and-investigatory-powers-bill the bill ensures that critical capabilities to fight crime and protect the public are maintained. It clarifies existing law without extending current powers interception and access to communications data are critical to the ability of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to fight crime and protect the public the bill makes clear that anyone providing a communications service to customers in the UK – regardless of where that service is provided from – should comply with lawful requests made under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 it also replaces the current Regulations under which domestic companies can be required to retain certain types of communications data for up to 12 months, so this may later be acquired by law enforcement and used in evidence the bill will also introduce additional safeguards for the use of investigatory powers, building on our already stringent regime, to respond to criticisms raised by the European Court of Justice if we fail to act immediately, there would be a critical gap in our investigative capabilities. Put simply, lives will be put at risk 2 Department for Culture Media and Sport https://www.gov.uk/government/news/red-tape-cut-to-reduce-licensing-burden-on-entertainment The draft Legislative Reform (Entertainment Licensing) Order will amend the Licensing Act 2003 to deregulate certain types of regulated entertainment in defined circumstances as set out in the Order. The changes will reduce regulation for cultural and voluntary sectors and commercial organisations in terms of paperwork and cost for lower risk entertainment activities. It includes: making it easier for pubs and clubs to host live music for larger audiences enabling entertainment to be put on in schools, village halls, hospitals and other public places lifting an unreasonable burden on traditional travelling circuses See also https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/legislative-reform-order-changes-to-entertainment-licensing The consultation outcome and draft order and explanatory document which may be useful to circulate to licence committee members. Department for Education https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/michael-gove-speaks-about-the-future-of-education-reform A Gove speech worth reading. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/do-academies-make-use-of-their-autonomy Research looking at whether academies make use of the autonomy their academy status provides. This paper reports the results of a survey which looked at: the reasons for schools becoming academies the changes they have made since conversion perceived effect of these changes attitudes towards the new national curriculum how they collaborate with other schools changes in the performance management of staff Some interesting research that education lawyers may find helpful as indication of academies taking advantage of their flexibility. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-evolving-education-system-in-england A ‘temperature check’ of the way 10 local education systems are evolving, focusing on: the changing roles of school, local authority and other leaders the factors influencing these changes any challenges encountered along the way Again this research may be useful to education lawyers to get a feel of what is going on in the bigger picture. Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/memorandum-of-understanding-enforcing-wildlife-crime This memorandum sets out the roles and responsibilities of Natural England, Countryside Council for Wales, Crown Prosecution Service and the Association of Chief Policy Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, so that they can help each other to prevent, look into and take action against wildlife crime. It also includes the action plan for January 2009 to January 2010. Updated.

  • Groups, Governance and the Development of UK Alcohol Policy: an Adversarial Policy Communities Approach
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Online Repository of Birkbeck Institutional Theses Groups, governance and the development of UK alcohol policy: An Adversarial Policy Communities Approach Gareth Paul Barrett A thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics Birkbeck, University of London January 2020 1 Declaration of Work I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the University of London is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. 2 Abstract The governance of UK alcohol policy looks like a textbook case of decision-making by a closed community of policymakers and industry insiders, but this thesis challenges this view. Drawing on Jordan and Richardson’s policy communities approach and Dudley and Richardson’s later work on adversarial policy communities, it examines the complex development of UK alcohol policy using archival sources, government and pressure group reports, news releases and historic media coverage going back over a century. The primary focus of this research is Westminster, but the importance of subnational policy communities is also considered through an examination of Scottish alcohol policy development. Through case studies of four key areas of UK alcohol policy – licensing, drink- driving, pricing and wider alcohol strategies – this thesis finds that the governance of UK alcohol policy is formed within policy communities, but ones that are much less closed and much more adversarial than traditionally thought.

  • The Impact of the Licensing Act 2003 on Democratic Involvement, Dispersal and Drinking Cultures
    Expecting ‘Great Things’? The Impact of the Licensing Act 2003 on Democratic Involvement, Dispersal and Drinking Cultures Marion Roberts Adam Eldridge Central Cities Institute University of Westminster 35 Marylebone Road London, NW1 5LS http://www.centralcities.wmin.ac.uk July 2007 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank the Institute of Alcohol Studies for funding this study and for their impartiality in research matters. Thanks must also go to Professor Peter White of the Department for Transport Studies at the University of Westminster who provided some of the text and comments on the sections on dispersal. Cllr Audrey Lewis, in a personal capacity, was a much valued source of information, advice and comment. Cllr Christine Boyd, again acting in a personal capacity, clarified some important misunderstandings. The respondents who freely gave up their time for interviews and provided data and examples enabled the study to happen. Especial thanks to those who reviewed the manuscript and who we pestered for further information and comment. Finally, the errors of fact and omission are ours alone. This report remains the intellectual property of the University of Westminster and cannot be reproduced in whole or in part without the permission of the authors. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Licensing Act (2003) received royal assent in July 2003. It was designed as a means to combat crime and disorder, encourage more freedom for licensees and consumers, and replace what was often referred to as an archaic, restrictive and overly bureaucratic licensing system. Despite ongoing concern about ‘binge Britain’ and the seeming contradiction between extending hours while remaining tough on crime, the Act came into force on 24th of November 2005.
