  • Cheshire East: Developing Emotionally Healthy Children and Young People
    CHESHIRE EAST: DEVELOPING EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE The Cheshire East emotionally healthy children and young people partnership is led by Cheshire East council’s children’s services, and is primarily funded from the council’s public health budget. Many organisations have been actively involved in developing the partnership including the NHS’s local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and children’s and adolescents mental health services (CAMHS), headteachers, and several vol- untary organisations. As a council senior manager explained: “It’s all partnership working. We work with schools, with the CCG, with health providers, with school nurses, health visitors, early years services, third sector organisations.” As a health lead commented: “It is pretty unique in its nature and scope.” The partnership’s aim is to support children and young people in becoming more mentally resilient: to be better able to manage their own mental health, to pro- cess what is going on in their environment, and to access specialist services should they need them. They want to reduce the number of children and young people attending accident and emergency services, or being inappropriately re- ferred to the CAMHS. The partnership’s original focus was creating ‘emotionally healthy schools’, but they are now extending their reach into early years settings. “We have been really blessed in support from above. We have had investment in to this project year after year. The moral and ethical support is there but also Pinancial.” INITIAL PHASE In 2015 CCGs were required to produce a local ‘children and mental health trans- formation plan’ to implement the NHS’s national ‘Five Year Forward View’ and ‘Future in Mind’ recommendations.

    Cheshire Neighbourhood Watch Association Week ending 27th June 2021 Cheshire News & Appeals Latest Cheshire News Two men charged following drugs warrant in Ellesmere Port Detectives from Ellesmere Port have charged two men with drugs offences following a drugs raid in the town.

John Hodgin has since been charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs (heroin and crack cocaine). The 21-year- old, of Lace Street, Liverpool, appeared at Chester Magistrates’ Court on Friday 26 June where he was remanded in custody. He is next set to appear at Chester Crown Court on Friday 23 July. A second man, 22- year-old James Hutchinson, was charged with possession of a controlled drug (cannabis).

Discharged with a reprimand. 2 October 7 1854 Runcorn ROBBERY BY A SERVANT Mary Clarke, lately in the service of Mrs Greener, beerhouse keeper, Alcock Street, was, on Wednesday, charged before Philip Whiteway Esq, at the Town Hall, with stealing a small box, containing 15s 6d, the property of her late mistress.

    WARRINGTON GUARDIAN (Document 2) 1 20 January 1877 RUNCORN POLICE COURT ROBBERY FROM A BOAT James Dickenson, a boatman, was charged with having, on the 26th of December, stolen one jacket, one waistcoat, one pair of trousers, one shirt, one muffler, one pair of boots and one hat, the property of a boatman named William Newman. Prosecutor said he was the hand of two canal boats called the Tom and Jim, now lying at Runcorn.

This should be based on a rolling average of 10 years sales data and other relevant local information and an assessment of all of the supply options (including marine dredged, secondary and recycled sources)1. The guidelines specify that this can be done either individually or jointly by agreement with another or other mineral planning authorities. 1.2 The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA), the Merseyside authorities, including Halton (working through Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service (MEAS)) and the unitary authority of Warrington (known as the ‘sub-region’) have decided to continue to work together by collaborating in the production of this document in order to satisfy the new duty to co-operate imposed by Section 110 of the Localism Act and due to established links from previous sub-regional working.

    Cheshire West & Chester Council deploy QueueBuster® to improve their customer experience and Productivity • QueueBuster® showed a productivity gain of 3.5 agents. Netcall’s QueueBuster has helped Cheshire West & Chester Council (CW&C) improve their customer experience and increase productivity. Cheshire West & Chester Council is a unitary authority area with borough status, in the ceremonial county of Cheshire. It was established in April 2009 as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, by virtue of an order under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. It replaced the boroughs of Ellesmere Port & Neston, Vale Royal and Chester District and part of the former Cheshire County Council, which was disaggregated between the two new unitary authorities of Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester. Deployment QueueBuster gives callers an alternative to waiting on hold in call centre queues by taking their details, queuing on their behalf, and then calling them back automatically when the next agent is available. The solution helps achieve best practice and delivers tangible benefits in efficiency, caller satisfaction and morale. Cheshire West & Chester council has now deployed this hosted service on the majority of its services including: Council Tax, Housing Benefit, Streetscene, Highways, School Admissions, Blue Badge and Waste. A proof of concept carried out prior to the purchase of the solution showed that the call centre had a productivity gain of 3.5 CW&C agents, whilst improving customer and agent satisfaction. QueueBuster achieves these results because the call back process is fully automated. All calls are handled on a first-in, first- out basis ensuring customers get their call back within the time- frame of the queue - not when queues have died down some time later.
