  • SUBJECT: Agreement Under Section 75 of National Health Service Act
    DECISION OF COUNCILLOR NIGEL ASHTON LEADER OF NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL WITH ADVICE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES DECISION NO: 86 - 2013/2014 SUBJECT: Agreement under section 75 of National Health Service Act 2006 between North Somerset Council and Avon Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust to deliver social care within an integrated service 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 For well over ten years, Avon Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust (AWP) has been managing North Somerset Council social care staff who have been deployed into an integrated mental health and social care service. Although this is an established service, there has never been a clear defined basis on which the council or AWP were operating. This meant that it was difficult for the council to hold AWP to account for delivery of social care or to be included transparently within AWP service developments. The service has been maintained purely through managing the working relationships between both organizations. 1.2 The council has 31.3 fte staff within the integrated service and in addition has 0.4 of a services manager and 1 JM3 to provide professional social care oversight, quality assurance, support and guidance to AWP to ensure adherence to council’s processes, ethos and procedures, including the focus on People and Communities strategic direction. There are also 1.6 Managers who lead the council’s Approved Mental Health Professional service. 1.3 AWP, as commissioned by North Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), undertook a redesign three years ago and this was follow up by a further restructure on the appointment of a new chief executive in November 2012.

  • Standards Exchange Website Extracts , Item 4. PDF 77 KB
    STANDARDS ISSUES ARISEN FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY Cornwall Council A Cornwall councillor who said disabled children “should be put down” has been found guilty of breaching the councillors’ code of conduct – but cannot be suspended. Wadebridge East member Collin Brewer’s comments were described by a panel investigating the claims as “outrageous and grossly offensive”. Cornwall Council said it received 180 complaints about Mr Brewer following the revelation that he said disabled children should be put down as they cost the council too much – and a subsequent interview he gave to the Disability News Service after his re-election on May 2 where he likened disabled children to deformed lambs. On Friday its findings were considered by the council’s standards committee in a behind-closed-doors session. Although Mr Brewer has been found to be in breach of the Code of Conduct, the council does not have the legal power to remove him from his position as a councillor. A council spokesman said: “The authority previously had the ability to suspend councillors following the investigation and determination of Code of Conduct complaints, however, following the Government’s changes to the Code of Conduct complaints process, this sanction is no longer available.” The council said that “given the seriousness of the breach” the council’s monitoring has imposed the highest level of sanctions currently available to the council. These include: • Formally censuring Mr Brewer for the outrageous and grossly insensitive remarks he made in the telephone conversation with John Pring on May 8 and directing him to make a formal apology for the gross offensiveness of his comments and the significant distress they caused.

  • Why Devolution Matters: the Case of Cornwall Yth on Ni A’N Le Ma – We Are of This Place
    Institute for Public Policy Research WHY DEVOLUTION MATTERS: THE CASE OF CORNWALL YTH ON NI A’N LE MA – WE ARE OF THIS PLACE Sarah Longlands and Anna Round March 2021 Available at: www.ippr.org/publication/why-devolution-matters-the-case-of- cornwall INTRODUCTION From Covid-19 to Brexit to long term climate change, the complexity of the challenges the UK now faces means that the centralised system of government at Whitehall is no longer fit for purpose. Without a renewed commitment to devolution for all of the nations and regions which make up the UK, the government will fail to meet its promises to build back better and level up. More seriously still, we face the prospect of a disunited kingdom. The UK is one of the most economically divided countries in the developed world; it is also the most centralised (CEJ 2018, Raikes and Giovannini 2019, McCann 2019, UK2070 2020). This is not a coincidence. Research shows that where you live in the UK determines your ability to live a “good life” (Johns et al 2020). However, it has been the metro mayors, local government, civil society and business which have proved most agile and responsive to the challenges and impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Similarly, while central government may try to claim the credit, the recovery will be led by those same organisations. They know their communities best and are already deploying their limited resources, creativity and collaborative capital to rebuild local economies, support those who are out of work, and co-ordinate the recovery of people and place.

For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. Cornwall and the Politics of Recognition https://www.e-ir.info/2014/10/26/cornwall-and-the-politics-of-recognition/ SIMON THOMPSON, OCT 26 2014 I’m very interested in what’s called the politics of recognition. This phrase is used to describe a wide range of political phenomena in which individuals and groups of various kinds struggle to be recognized for their particular characteristics or identities or achievements. Some groups want to be recognized for being the same as others. So, for example, the American civil rights movement can be understood as a struggle by black Americans to be treated in the same way as all other American citizens. But other groups want recognition of their distinctiveness – of the fact that they are not like others. The recent announcement that Cornish people are to be granted minority status within the UK looks like a case of this kind. The announcement was made by the Council of Europe, a body which describes itself as ‘the continent’s leading human rights organisation’. Founded in 1949, its principal objective is to oversee the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights, which the Council describes as ‘a treaty designed to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law’. Of particular importance to the present case is the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, drawn up in 1995 (http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/en/Treaties/html/157.htm).
