  • 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.

Glossary Page 28 1 Introduction Production of a Joint LAA 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published in March 2012, introduced a requirement for Mineral Planning Authorities (MPAs) to plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates by preparing an annual Local Aggregate Assessment (LAA). 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.

  • Casestudy- Cheshire West & Chester Council
    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.

The model is based on a penalty charge level of £70 (higher level contravention eg parking in a disabled bay without a valid badge) and £50 (lower level eg parking out of a marked bay on an off street car park). This is consistent with the level of Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) currently applied in Macclesfield and Crewe and Nantwich and is therefore recommended for adoption in the former Congleton Borough area. 4.0 Financial Implications 2009/10 and beyond 4.1 Congleton Area Enforcement Financial Estimate Initial Capital Set Up Costs :(cost of signs and lines review) £15000 Initial Start-Up Revenue Costs :(chiefly PR campaign and Consultants’ fees) £15,121 Annual Revenue Costs : £30189 Annual Income : £39397 (year 1), then £51475 per annum.

  • Cheshire Fire Brigade
    Job reference: 09/19/ADV 1. General Information Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service has a long and proud tradition for innovation and taking a lead on both the safety of the communities it serves and the people it employs. Our vision is ‘a Cheshire where there are no preventable deaths, injuries and damage from fires and other emergencies’ and our mission ‘is to help create safer communities, to rescue people and protect economic, environmental and community interests’. The Service is led by the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive and the Service Management Team and provides a 24 hour service to emergency incidents to just over 1 million people across the four unitary council areas of: Halton Warrington Cheshire East Cheshire West and Chester The Service responds to all emergency calls from the public for assistance. Many emergency calls however are not to fires, but to incidents where members of the community are trapped in vehicles following road traffic collisions, trapped in machinery, or trapped in less life threatening circumstances as well as being called to chemical spillages and toxic emissions. The Service is also required to deal with many other domestic situations, such as flooding, storm damage, people unable to gain access to premises, animals in distress etc. Currently, approximately 15,105 emergency calls are received each year, 2,665 of which relate to property fires, 7,288 to other incidents and 4,778 to false alarms, including unfortunately 374 malicious calls. The Service has a comprehensive plan to improve response times across Cheshire, Halton and Warrington.
