Children & Learning Overview & Scrutiny Sub-Committee, 12 January 2017 Protocol for members of the public wishing to report on meetings of the London Borough of Havering Members of the public are entitled to report on meetings of Council, Committees and Cabinet, except in circumstances where the public have been excluded as permitted by law. Reporting means:- filming, photographing or making an audio recording of the proceedings of the meeting; using any other means for enabling persons not present to see or hear proceedings at a meeting as it takes place or later; or reporting or providing commentary on proceedings at a meeting, orally or in writing, so that the report or commentary is available as the meeting takes place or later if the person is not present. Anyone present at a meeting as it takes place is not permitted to carry out an oral commentary or report. This is to prevent the business of the meeting being disrupted. Anyone attending a meeting is asked to advise Democratic Services staff on 01708 433076 that they wish to report on the meeting and how they wish to do so. This is to enable employees to guide anyone choosing to report on proceedings to an appropriate place from which to be able to report effectively. Members of the public are asked to remain seated throughout the meeting as standing up and walking around could distract from the business in hand. What is Overview & Scrutiny? Each local authority is required by law to establish an overview and scrutiny function to support and scrutinise the Council’s executive arrangements. Each overview and scrutiny sub- committee has its own remit as set out in the terms of reference but they each meet to consider issues of local importance. The sub-committees have a number of key roles: 1. Providing a critical friend challenge to policy and decision makers. 2. Driving improvement in public services. 3. Holding key local partners to account. 4. Enabling the voice and concerns to the public. The sub-committees consider issues by receiving information from, and questioning, Cabinet Members, officers and external partners to develop an understanding of proposals, policy and practices. They can then develop recommendations that they believe will improve performance, or as a response to public consultations. These are considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Board and if approved, submitted for a response to Council, Cabinet and other relevant bodies. Children & Learning Overview & Scrutiny Sub-Committee, 12 January 2017 Sub-Committees will often establish Topic Groups to examine specific areas in much greater detail. These groups consist of a number of Members and the review period can last for anything from a few weeks to a year or more to allow the Members to comprehensively examine an issue through interviewing expert witnesses, conducting research or undertaking site visits. Once the topic group has finished its work it will send a report to the Sub-Committee that created it and will often suggest recommendations for the Overview and Scrutiny Board to pass to the Council’s Executive. Terms of Reference The areas scrutinised by the Committee are: Pupil and Student Services (including the Youth Service) Children’s Social Services Safeguarding Adult Education Councillor Calls for Action Social Inclusion Children & Learning Overview & Scrutiny Sub-Committee, 12 January 2017 AGENDA ITEMS 1 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUBSTITUTE MEMBERS (if any) - receive. 2 DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS Members are invited to disclose any interests in any of the items on the agenda at this point of the meeting.

They had attended Ravensbourne School to meet with parents to understand the challenges they faced. The main area was that there was no contact with NELFT. Work in this area had been centred on parents and carers in the community. Healthwatch continued to chair the quarterly meetings that bring together NELFT, the CCG, BHRUT, CAMHS, the local authority and Positive Parents, a representative group of parents of children who had learning disabilities. These meetings have been very successful and meet on the three-monthly basis. An action plan has been produced of what was expected from the group. There were 60 action points that were agreed at the start in 2014, Page 1 Children & Learning Overview & Scrutiny 2M Sub-Committee, 8 November 2016 and only 20 of these had been cleared as this was a very involved and complex subject. It was noted that there was also a Learning Disability work group with Queens Hospital which included a Learning Disability Paediatric Nurse. This group had worked hard in getting children with learning disabilities accommodated in each specialist area, and there was a specialist Phlebotomy Nurse. Members asked if there were other therapists that delivered services to children and adults with disabilities and whether this information was also provided to the Health Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee.

  • School Structural Consultation Bedford Borough School Structure Changes
    School structural consultation Bedford Borough School Structure Changes Public Consultation School Organisation Review Foreword On Friday 3 July 2015, we announced that we would work alongside schools in Bedford Borough to design and deliver a transition from a three-tier education system (with lower, middle and upper schools) to a two-tier system (with primary and secondary schools). We have been working alongside head teachers and governors to ensure that these changes to schools are as coordinated and coherent as possible and, at the same time, are able to ofer future certainty to parents, carers and guardians. Having spoken to many parents in the Borough, our priority is for every school in the Borough to be good or outstanding and to ensure that parents, carers and guardians are able to clearly understand the route their child, or children could take through the education system. We feel it is important that as schools are finalising their school-specific proposals and consulting on them accordingly with their communities, Bedford Borough Council provides an overview of the strategic plans for the Borough as a whole. Within this document you will find an overview of each school and the proposals they are consulting on, together with a link to where you can find their consultation documents. The document also provides an overview of the proposed transition options for children and young people as we move towards a two-tier system. We really want to hear your views before we decide whether to take on this big change in schools structures in Bedford Borough. More than 90% of our schools are independently rated as good or outstanding according to the school inspector Ofsted, putting us at the top of local authorities in the Eastern Region, and we want to continue to enable children and young people in Bedford Borough to access the best opportunities in life and the best start in life.

  • Bedford Free School
    Title: Bedford Free School Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies, institutions within the further education sector and Alternative Provision in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background 2. The Bedford Free School is a co-educational 11-16 secondary school proposed to open in central Bedford. The school plans to open in 2012 with a total of 200 pupils (100 yr7 and 100 yr9), reaching 500 pupils at full capacity by 2014. 3. Bedford Free School aims to serve the area of Bedford and Kempston, where educational standards are below national average and have been for some time. Despite a long term aspiration to move to a two tier system, most of the schools in the area are three tier and as such, this Impact Assessment focuses on the direct impact of the Free School on both Middle and Upper Schools throughout Bedford and Kempston as well considering any indirect impact on Lower schools, Further Education (FE) institutions and other types of educational provision in the area. Education in Bedford 4. Bedford Borough currently run a largely three tier education system. As a 11- 16 secondary school, the Free School will have an impact on both middle and upper schools in the area.
