(a) By Councillor Nolan

“That this Council notes that there are rumours of a proposed local government reorganisation in the area, which will result in a merger of East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull City Council and the creation of a new unitary authority in their place.

This Council considers that residents in the East Riding do not want to be merged with Hull City Council.

The Council therefore resolves to oppose any move to merge the two Councils without the consent of our residents.”

(b) By Councillor Johnson

“That in view of the significant parking problems in Beverley, and to help alleviate this issue, this Council requests Officers to bring forward the Beverley Park and Ride scheme as a matter of urgency in this financial year. To be drawn from reserves and subsequently recovered from the developers from Section 106 contributions.” (c) By Councillor Padden

“That this Council notes -

1. That many East Riding residents are suffering as a result of the pandemic and the uplift in Universal Credit has been a lifeline to them. We should be increasing support to unemployed people and their families at this time, not reducing it.

2. At a time when local economies and independent shops are taking a hit from the on-going restrictions on the high-street, the increase in benefit levels has also supported local businesses and local jobs during the pandemic and will continue to do so as people are more mindful to shop local and support their communities. The Council therefore resolves to write to the Chancellor calling for him to reconsider ending this uplift in April 2021 and instead make the £20 increase to Universal Credit permanent.”

(d) By Councillor Weeks

“That this Council; • Supports parents’ rights to choose to Home Educate their children.

• Understands the current law relating to Elective Home Education, namely; o Education is compulsory. School is not. o Education should be ‘suitable and efficient’. o There is no mandatory registration for Elective Home Education.

• Recognises the fantastic work the Education Welfare Service do to support parents who decide to Home Educate their children.

• Shares the concern of staff regarding the lack of mandatory registration for Elective Home Education and the lack of a clearly defined national definition for ‘suitable and efficient’ education. Resolves to; Write to the Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Education and Chairman of the House of Commons Education Select Committee, to request the Government explore options to introduce mandatory registration and a national definition for what constitutes ‘suitable and efficient’ education.”

2735 COUNCIL TAX 2021-22 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report proposing the Council Tax for 2021-22. The Council was required under legislation to determine the council tax for 2021-22 by way of a council tax resolution, which included the amounts set by precepting bodies. A draft Council tax resolution was attached at Appendix 2 of the report as now submitted.

The proposed revenue budget for 2021-22 totalled £304.932m with a council tax requirement of £185.038m. This required a Band D council tax of £1,577.30, excluding special expenses, police, fire, and parish and town council precepts.

The proposed 2021-22 budget included a council tax increase of 4.99%. The Government had permitted local authorities to apply a general increase of up to 2% to council tax for 2021-22, plus a further 3% increase for authorities with social care responsibilities which must be used to fund adult social care costs. The Council may therefore increase its council tax by up to 5% for 2021-22 before triggering a local referendum.

Special expenses totalled £0.464m in 2021-22 compared with £0.460m in 2020-21. Increases to special expenses were subject to the same local referendum principles as council tax. They were not used to fund social care and might therefore be increased by up to 2 percent. The recommended increases to special expenses were limited to 1.99 percent.

Parish and town councils each set a council tax precept which the Council collected on their behalf. The 2021-22 precepts would be reported to the Council on 24 February 2021.

The Humberside Fire and Rescue Service precept, which the Council collected on their behalf, was due to be set on 12 February 2021 and the Police and Crime Commissioner were required to issue their precepts to the Council by 1 March each year. Both of these precepts would be reported to the Council on 24 February 2021 if they were set in accordance with the expected timetable. Alternative arrangements for approval of the final council tax resolution would need to be made should either of these precepts be set after 24 February 2021.

Moved by Councillor Burton, seconded by Councillor Stathers, and

Resolved - That the formal Council Tax resolution be submitted to the Council on 24 February 2021 for approval, including the following elements:-

 Council tax with an increase of 3.49% relative to the 2020-21 amount.  Special expenses.  Parish and town council precepts.  Precepts set by Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner.

THE CABINET

2 FEBRUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Burton (in the Chair), Abraham, Aitken, Handley, Healing, Horton, Matthews, McMaster, Stathers and V Walker.

Councillors Coultish, Elvidge, Evison, Fox, Jefferson, Johnson, Lee, Meredith, Nolan, Owen, Sargeantson, Temple and A Walker attended the meeting as observers.

The Cabinet meeting was held virtually by video conference and was lived streamed on YouTube.

6440 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS - No declarations of interest were made.

6441 MINUTES - That the minutes of the meeting of The Cabinet held on 15 December 2020 be approved and signed as a correct record.

6442 - OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE AND SUB-COMMITTEE MINUTES - Resolved - That the minutes of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and Sub-Committees be received:-

 Health, Care and Wellbeing of 10 November and 1 December 2020  Children and Young People of 2 December 2020  Safer and Stronger Communities of 3 December 2020  Environment and Regeneration of 9 December 2020  Overview Management of 10 December 2020

6443 BUSINESS PLAN 2020-25 AND FINANCIAL PLAN 2021-22 TO 2024-25 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report updating The Cabinet on the development of the Council Business Plan 2020-25 (2021 Update), which set out the Council’s corporate priorities for the period and detailed the key actions that would be taken to support delivery of those priorities and sought approval of the draft document.

In February 2020, the Council had approved a new financial strategy which was intended to enable future investment to maintain high quality services for the residents of the East Riding, whilst providing resilience to steer the Council through significant uncertainty over future funding levels for local government. This uncertainty had increased even further due to the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Government had provided the Council with funding to help to meet additional costs and income losses resulting from the pandemic, but the longer term impact on the national and local economy would be a key driver of service demand and funding levels for the Council in future years. The Strategy had core aspects of digital, commercialism and value for money, underpinned by the theme of resilience. By promoting investment and best use of public money whilst ensuring that funding was available to meet these ambitions, it would support the recovery of both the Council and the community which it served.

The 2021-22 revenue budget proposals supported delivery of the Council’s policies and priorities and had been prioritised and assessed for risk and equality impact.

7 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

The accompanying financial plan forecast that the Council needed to deliver £27.3m of budget savings to meet projected budget pressures by 2024-25. Savings proposals identified for the next four years and the planned use of reserves, which totalled £17.7m, resulting in a projected budget gap of £9.6m in the General Fund revenue budget by 2024-25.

The recommended General Fund revenue budget for 2021-22 totalled £304.932m and required a Band D council tax of £1,577.30, an increase of 4.99% on council tax from 2020-21.

Having regard to the key budget assumptions and the financial standing and management of the Council, it was recommended that a General Fund reserve balance of between £7.0m and £8.0m was maintained over the four year financial planning period.

It was recommended that the schools budget was set at the 2021-22 indicative level of Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) of £261.893m and that it be distributed to individual schools via the existing local schools funding formula for 2021-22, incorporating mandatory national minimum funding levels per pupil.

The Council’s Capital Strategy provided a mechanism by which investment and financing decisions could be aligned to the over-arching corporate priorities and objectives and helped to ensure that its capital assets and resources were utilised in the most effective way. Due to the level of capital resources available and the potential impact of the UK’s exit from the EU, and more recently Covid-19, on the current capital programme and future funding opportunities, no new capital projects were proposed as part of the report as now submitted. The funding situation for future capital projects would be reviewed later in 2021.

The Capital Strategy also incorporated the prudential indictors to be set for the Council. The Prudential Code required the Council to look at capital expenditure and investment plans in the light of overall organisational strategy and resources, and ensure that decisions were being made with sufficient regard to the long term financial implications and potential risks to the Council. To demonstrate that the Council had fulfilled these objectives, the Prudential Code set out the indicators that must be used and the factors that must be taken into account. It was a requirement of the Prudential Code that the prudential indicators were set and revised by full Council.

Resolved - (a) That the amount of council tax to be levied in 2021-22 be referred to Council;

(b) that a minimum General Fund Reserve balance of between £7.0m and £8.0m be approved and referred to Council;

(d) that it be recommended to Council that the 2021-22 Schools Budget be set at the indicative DSG amount of £261.893m and that it be distributed to individual schools via the existing local schools funding formula for 2021-22;

(e) that the draft Council Business Plan 2020-25 (2021 update) be approved and recommended to Council;

(f) that the Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services, in consultation with the Leader, be authorised prior to the publication of the Plan, to approve any

8 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

textual amendments to the Plan, subsequent to its approval, required to reflect changing legislation or circumstance affecting its delivery, and

(g) that the Capital Strategy including the prudential indicators be approved for onward recommendation to the Council.

6444 TREASURY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 2021-22 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report providing an update on the Council’s Treasury Management Strategy. Treasury management was the management of the Council’s cash flows, its banking, money market and capital market transactions, the effective control of the risks associated with those activities and the pursuit of optimum performance consistent with those risks.

Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) guidance under the Local Government Act 2003 required local authorities to set out their policies for managing investments for giving priority to the security and liquidity of those investments.

This Strategy was drawn from the Council’s Treasury Management Policy Statement and covered investments, borrowing, the outlook for interest rates, the management of associated risks and the policy to be adopted on Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP).

The Council was able to borrow from the Public Works Loan Board (PWLB), a lending facility for local authorities, operated by the UK Debt Management Office on behalf of HM Treasury. Following a recent consultation exercise, the Government had published revised lending terms for accessing the PWLB and it was reported that the PWLB would not lend to any local authority that planned to buy investment assets primarily for yield anywhere in their capital plans, regardless of whether the transaction would be financed from a source other than PWLB. The new terms applied to loans arranged with the PWLB from 26 November 2020 and the following key points were noted:

 The PWLB rate was reduced by 1% for all new Standard Rate and Certainty Rate loans - this reversed the 1% increase imposed in October 2019.  As a condition to access borrowing from the PWLB, local authorities were required to submit a high level description of capital spending for 3 years.  The local authority’s Section 151 Officer must confirm that there was no intention to buy investment assets primarily for yield at any time in the next 3 years.

The Cabinet was also informed that investment may be made in pooled investment funds such as money market funds or other regulated UCITS (Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) funds. These were professionally managed funds which could provide greater levels of diversification than were available to the Council as an individual investor. During 2021-22, the Council would be looking at the enhanced diversification and returns that were offered by such funds.

The Strategy had been considered by the Audit Committee on 22 January 2021 and recommended for approval by full Council.

Resolved - That the Treasury Management Strategy and Minimum Revenue Provision Policy for 2021-22 be submitted to Council for approval.

6445 HOUSING REVENUE ACCOUNT BUDGET 2021-22 AND FINANCIAL PLAN 2021-22 TO 2024-25 - The Director of Corporate Resources and Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a joint report setting out the refreshed medium term financial plan for the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) covering the period 2021-22 to 2024-25, which had been produced taking account of budget pressures, proposed savings, rents growth and transfers to/from reserves within the HRA over the next four years.

The proposed council house rents for 2021-22 apply rent increases of 1.5%, which was based upon the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 1%. This was in line with Government guidance allowing rent increases of up to CPI+1% through to 2024-25. The proposed average 52 week social housing rent was £81.54 in 2021-22, an increase of £1.21. The proposed average 52 week affordable housing rent was £95.17 in 2021-22, an increase of £1.41.

It was proposed to increase service charges which were separated out from rents, by 1.5% (CPI +1%) in 2021-22 for applicable dwellings in line with Government rent guidance. Other proposed rents, fees and charges for 2021-22 had been set out in Appendix C of the report as now submitted.

Shared Ownership rents were proposed to increase by Retail Price Index (RPI) plus 0.5%, which was line with Government rent guidance for dwellings of this tenure. The increase would be determined by September’s RPI in the majority of cases, as per the lease agreements between the Council and tenants.

Based on current assumptions and projections, the Council’s HRA remained viable in the short, medium and long term. There was still some uncertainty over rent policy in the longer term, as the Government announcement only provided for annual rent increases of CPI+1% up to and including 2024-25. The full HRA Business Plan was to be updated before Spring 2021 and continued to support key initiatives such as the sheltered housing review along with maintaining levels of capital and revenue investment in existing stock, to ensure homes were maintained to decent homes standards.

A new build programme of circa 100 units per annum had been assumed over the financial planning period. The projected levels of new stock would be met from the various delivery vehicles currently being used by the Council, including acquisition through Section 106 planning gain, development agreements with the private sector, and the continuation of the Homes England Affordable Homes Programme covering purchase and repair, empty homes and new build schemes.

The Council was currently reviewing the results of the 2020 Tenant’s Satisfaction survey and these would be published in the near future. Targeting the delivery of the current HRA investment programme to ensure a positive impact on the quality of tenants’ homes should also lead to increasing future tenant satisfaction. The Council would continue to work together with tenants to ensure that they were able to influence the planning and delivery of their housing service. A review of tenant engagement was also currently underway.

Resolved - That the following be referred to Council for approval:

(a) the 2021-22 HRA budget, as set out in Appendix A of the report as now submitted;

(b) individual council house rents, summarised at Appendix B of the report as now submitted;

10 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

(c) a 1.5% increase on the 2020-21 service charges separated out from rents, as detailed in paragraph 4.1 of the report as now submitted;

(d) other rents, fees and charges for 2021-22 as set out in Appendix C of the report as now submitted;

(e) an increase in Shared Ownership rents based upon Retail Price Index plus 0.5%, and

(f) the affordable housing priorities set out in section 8 of the report as now submitted.

6446 COUNCIL TAX 2021-22 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report setting out the Corporate Management Team’s proposed General Fund revenue budget for 2021-22, which totalled £304.932m with a council tax requirement of £185.038m. This required a Band D council tax of £1,577.30, excluding special expenses, police, fire, and town and parish council precepts.

Special expenses total £0.464m for 2021-22 compared with £0.460m for 2020-21. Increases to special expenses were subject to the same local referendum principles as council tax. They were not used to fund social care and may therefore be increased by up to 2%. The recommended increases to special expenses were limited to 1.99%.

Town and parish councils each set a council tax precept which the Council collected on their behalf. The 2021-22 precepts would be reported to the Council on 24 February 2021.

The Humberside Fire and Rescue Service precept, which the Council collected on their behalf, was due to be set on 12 February 2021 and the Police and Crime Commissioner had until 1 March 2021 to advise the Council of the precept required, although it was expected to be set on 4 February 2021 subject to the outcome of the meeting. The 2021-22 precepts would be reported to the Council on 24 February 2021. If either precepts had not been set by this date, alternative arrangements for approval of the final council tax resolution would need to be made.

Resolved - (a) That the formal council tax resolution be submitted to Council meeting on 11 February 2021 for approval, including the following elements:

 Council tax at the level to be recommended  Special expenses

(b) that the final council tax resolution, inclusive of precepts set by town and parish councils, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner, be submitted to the Council on 24 February 2021 for approval. If either of the Fire or Police precept has not been set by this date, alternative arrangements will be made, and

(c) that the Director of Communities and Environment, or such officers as may be nominated by him, be authorised to take all necessary action to collect and recover non-domestic rate and council tax on behalf of the Council, including taking and appearing in

any legal proceedings arising from or necessitated by non-payment in making attachment of earnings/benefits orders.

6447 STAMFORD BRIDGE COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW - DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report in relation to the Stamford Bridge Community Governance Review. Following the receipt of a valid petition from Stamford Bridge Parish Council proposing amendments to the parish boundaries, The Cabinet, at its meeting on 7 July 2020, had given approval to the commencement of a community governance review and the associated terms of reference and review timetable.

In accordance with the statutory process, a first phase of public consultation was held in order to give local interested parties the opportunity to provide feedback on the initial proposals submitted by Stamford Bridge Parish Council. The consultation had closed on 30 September 2020. The online consultation had received 26 responses and there were 110 other responses from residents and parish council representatives, in the form of emails and other correspondence, and signatures on petitions both for and against the proposals (a total of 76 households signed a petition). Combining all the online comments, the correspondence and the petition signatories, there was a total of 145 pieces of feedback on the proposal.

The next stage of the process was for draft recommendations to be considered for approval, or otherwise, by The Cabinet. The draft recommendations would then be the subject of a second phase of public consultation prior to final recommendations being developed and considered for approval by the Council.

The review was due to be completed by 7 July 2021, however, it was noted that the implementation of the recommendations would not take place until April 2023, which was the next year of Ordinary elections. The consequential effects of the recommendations relating to the ward boundaries between Wolds Weighton and Pocklington Provincial wards, if approved, would be referred to the Local Government Boundary Commission for review. The referral would be made following completion of the community governance review.

Resolved - (a) That the draft recommendations as set out in report as now submitted be approved for the second phase of public consultation, and

(b) that the revised review timetable as set out at Appendix 1 of the report as now submitted be approved.

6448 DETERMINATION OF ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS AND CO-ORDINATED SCHEMES 2022-2023 - The Director of Children, Families and Schools submitted a report setting out proposed school admission arrangements and co-ordinated schemes for 2022-2023. All school admission authorities had to determine their admission arrangements by 28 February each year for the following year’s admission rounds. All local authorities were also required by the Department for Education to devise and determine co-ordinated schemes which established the processes by which parents apply for and were allocated school places for their children.

The draft arrangements for the 2022-2023 school year included changes from those previously set for 2021-2022 and had been under public consultation between 4 November and 16 December 2020 as per the statutory requirements of the school admissions code. The changes proposed were both to improve the clarity of communication, to improve practice, and for 14 primary schools who had requested that the Council amend their published admissions number. It was important that appropriate admission numbers were set for each school’s

12 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

specific local context, the level of demand for school places, and reasonable and efficient class sizes. Detailed reasons for all 14 schools were contained within the supporting papers, as deposited in group offices and at public deposit points.

Resolved - (a) That the draft admission arrangements for the 2022-2023 school year, as deposited in group offices and at public deposit points, be approved;

(b) that the coordinated admissions schemes for the 2022-2023 school year, as deposited in group offices and at public deposit points, be approved, and

(c) that the published admission numbers for the 2022-2023 school year, including those for 14 primary schools where the admission number as proposed is different than that previously set for the 2021-22 school year, be approved.

6449 RIVER AIRE FLOODING IN FEBRUARY 2020 - INTERIM SECTION 19 REPORT - The Director of Communities and Environment submitted a report regarding the Interim Section 19 in relation to the River Aire flooding in February 2020. East Riding of Yorkshire Council, as the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), had a responsibility under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 to investigate significant flood incidents in its area.

Following a wet autumn and winter, with the ground thoroughly saturated, the wettest February on record gave rise to very high flows in the river Aire. This combined with the high tides, led to even higher levels in the Aire in February, which in turn overtopped the banks and filled the Ings (or washlands) along the lower reaches of the river to capacity.

As Snaith Ings filled rapidly, commercial properties north of the railway within the Ings were flooded and shortly afterwards residential properties in Snaith itself were flooded. Then as the Ings reached capacity water spilled over the overflow at Cowick Barrier Bank, giving rise to significant flooding in the village of East Cowick, the water was effectively trapped between the road embankments of the A1041, A614 and the M62.

In all, some 27 properties in Snaith and 60 properties in East Cowick were flooded internally. Many local businesses were also affected by flooding or the road closures caused by the event.

The Cabinet was informed that this was an interim report to inform the community of the Council's observations of the event and to help them better understand what happened. The Council needed to carry out a significant amount of additional work in order to analyse the data fully and so gain a clearer understanding of the event, with the intention of pinpointing the causes of the flooding, drawing clear conclusions and consider recommendations to reduce the risk of flooding in similar circumstances. This further work would take many months to complete before a final report of the Council's findings could be published.

The Cabinet thanked the public and volunteers, Snaith and Cowick Town Council, local Councillors, and the wider community, together with all the agencies involved for their continued hard work, efforts and resilience in responding to the flooding incident. It was acknowledged that it may take some time for the final Section 19 report to be published and Cabinet Members were keen to ensure that the local communities were kept informed of progress.

13 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

Resolved - (a) That the Interim Section 19 Report (Flood and Water Management Act (2010)) into the River Aire Flooding in February 2020, as deposited in group offices and public deposit points be approved and published on the Council's website, and

(b) that the Director of Communities and Environment be authorised in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder, to make any changes to the Interim Section 19 Report (Flood and Water Management Act (2010)) into the River Aire Flooding in February 2020, prior to its publication.

6450 FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS - MARCH TO JUNE 2021 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report providing an update on the Council’s Forward Plan. The Local Government Act required this to be a rolling four month plan which must be updated on a monthly basis. An appendix summarising the revisions to the Forward Plan of Key Decisions since it was approved was attached to the report for The Cabinet’s information.

Approval was also sought from The Cabinet to revise the Forward Plan of Key Decisions to include the addition of two items relating to the Local Transport Plan and the Award of Contract for Adult Social Care Change Programme Implementation Support for consideration at the meeting on 23 March 2021.

Resolved - That the Forward Plan of Key Decisions for the period March to June 2021, as deposited in group offices and public deposit points be approved, subject to the inclusion of items relating to the ‘Local Transport Plan’ and ‘Award of Contract for Adult Social Care Change Programme Implementation Support’ for consideration at the meeting on 23 March 2021.

6451 EXCLUSION OF THE PRESS AND PUBLIC - Resolved - That the press and public be excluded from the meeting for consideration of Minutes 6452 - 6456 on the basis that they involve a likely disclosure of exempt information as described in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

In making its decision The Cabinet confirmed that having regard to all the circumstances, it was satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

6452 BEREAVEMENT SERVICES PROJECT - BUSINESS CASE – The Director of Communities and Environment submitted a report in relation to the business case for the Bereavement Services Project, which proposed the development of a new Council-run crematorium in the Holderness area of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Head of Revenues and Procurement was also in attendance and gave a detailed presentation on the proposed business case.

A needs assessment for the proposed scheme evidenced that a modern crematorium, situated within the Holderness area would provide a vital service to our residents who lived outside of a reasonable travel distance to a funeral service. The aim of the proposed facility was to provide wider choice and meet the proven need for a new crematorium in the Holderness area. The proposed new facility would be the Council’s first owned and operated crematorium which would also support the local economy through the creation of new jobs and supporting local businesses.

14 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

The Cabinet gave in principle approval to the project in June 2020 and agreed that it progress to the submission of a planning application. An extensive pre-planning application exercise undertaken during July-September 2020 demonstrated strong local support for a proposed crematorium in Holderness and the feedback was used to further develop the design prior to the submission of a full planning application in October 2020.

The Planning Committee considered the application on 14 January 2021 and deferred the application whilst a Road Safety Assessment was completed. The outcome of this assessment would be presented back to the Planning Committee on 25 February 2021 seeking full planning approval. Subject to the final planning approval a decision was sought from The Cabinet on approval of £8.5m funding based on a detailed business case which demonstrated the viability of the scheme.

Resolved - That subject to full planning approval:

(a) approval be given for the project be formally added to the Council’s capital programme and an allocated budget of £8.5m;

(b) the bereavement services project, including the proposal for a crematorium in the Holderness area as outlined in option 1 of the report as now submitted, be approved for further development, construction and operational management;

(c) a report be brought back to The Cabinet to enable it to consider the acceptance or otherwise of the tender for the construction works contract;

(d) the Director of Communities and Environment be authorised to make changes to the proposed scheme and budgetary requirements, in consultation with the Council’s Section 151 officer and the Leader of the Council, and

(e) that the crematorium be named Lelley Fields to reflect the location of the site.

6453 AWARD OF AN INTERIM CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES IN THE EAST RIDING - The Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services and the Director of Public Health submitted a joint report seeking The Cabinet’s approval to directly award an interim bridging contract to the existing provider for the services detailed at Table A1 of the report as now submitted; with the contract to be for one year with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months at the sole discretion of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

The current Public Health Service contracts as outlined above and funded within the approved base budget for Public Health services, were due to expire on 31 March 2021 with no further option to extend beyond the identified dates. Planning for a new integrated service was being progressed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but resulting pressures on both Public Health and the clinical provider services meant that procurement was delayed; with the new priority being to address the impact of the pandemic. This, coupled with pressure caused by the second wave of COVID-19, and uncertainty around how the resident community would be affected for the foreseeable future had necessitated the proposed approach as outlined in the report as now submitted.

A short term (interim) contract would enable time for the emerging needs of East Riding residents to be better clarified and incorporated into a revised service specification which would be tendered with a contract start date in April 2022 or 2023 (dependent on whether the extension option was utilised). The interim contract would ensure that there was no gap in

15 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Cabinet\Minutes\2feb21.docx (sb/sg) The Cabinet 2 February 2021

service provision to vulnerable residents pending the availability of that revised specification and tender.

Resolved - (a) That approval be given under Clause 4.22.1 (bullet point 1 of the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules, with Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015), whereby The Cabinet has the authority to continue the existing commissioned Health Trainers and Smoking Cessation services (subject to necessary amendment as required by Covid-19) for reasons of ‘extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority…’ , and

(b) that the award of an interim contract to the existing provider for the provision of Health Trainers and Smoking Cessation services from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 be approved, with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months at the sole discretion of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

6454 CONTRACT NO. CM142 SUPPLY OF FIXED SCAFFOLD AND EDGE PROTECTION - The Director Communities and Environment submitted a report seeking The Cabinet’s approval to accept the most economically advantageous tender to specification for Contract Number CM142 - the supply of fixed scaffold and edge protection.

Resolved - That the most economically advantageous tender to specification for the Supply of Fixed Scaffold and Edge Protection, be accepted.

6455 CONTRACT NO. CM87B MEASURE, SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF KITCHENS - The Director Communities and Environment submitted a report seeking The Cabinet’s approval to accept the most economically advantageous tender to specification for Contract Number CM87b - measure, supply and installation of kitchens.

Resolved - That the most economically advantageous tender to specification for Contract Number CM87b to measure, supply and installation of kitchens, be accepted.

6456 CONTRACT NO. M024A MAINTENANCE OF FLOOD RISK ASSETS (LOTTED CONTRACT) - The Director Communities and Environment submitted a report seeking The Cabinet’s approval to accept the most economically advantageous tender to specification for the Term Service Contract - M024a- TSC for the Maintenance of Flood Risk Assets, Lot 1- Jetting and CCTV and Lot 2- Grounds Maintenance of Flood Risk Assets.

Resolved - That the most economically advantageous tender to specification for Contract Number M024a - Terms Service Contract for the Maintenance of Flood Risk Assets, Lot 1- Jetting and CCTV and Lot 2- Grounds Maintenance of Flood Risk Assets, be accepted.

EXTRAORDINARY MEETING

7 JANUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Meredith (in the Chair), Beaumont, Copsey, Coultish, Elvidge, Healy, Jump, Nickerson, Owen, Skow, A Walker and Weeks

Officers Present: Lesley Gilson - Interim SEND Strategic Manager, Ronnie Hartley - Head of Children and Young People Specialist Services, Eoin Rush - Director of Children, Families and Schools, Darren Stevens - Director of Corporate Resources, and Gareth Naidoo - Principal Committee Manager

Councillor Abraham (Portfolio Holder for Children, Young People, Education, Health and Social Care) was in attendance and spoke on Minute 571.

The meeting was held remotely via video conference (Zoom) and streamed live to the Council’s YouTube channel.

570 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTEREST - The following declarations were made:

(i) Councillor Meredith declared a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 571 insofar as he is a Member of the Board of Governors at the Hub. (ii) Councillor Coultish declared a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 571 insofar as he is a Member of Goole Academy.

571 SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY (SEND) UPDATE - The Committee received a report of the Director of Children, Families and Schools, presented by Eoin Rush - Director of Children, Families and Schools, Ronnie Hartley - Head of Children and Young People Specialist Services and Lesley Gilson - Interim SEND Strategic Manager.

In October 2020 a Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) report was presented to the Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee updating on the outcome of the SEND Peer Challenge. The Peer Challenge report highlighted the progress made in terms of the three key priority areas the Peer Challenge considered (Co-production, Preparing for Adulthood and SEN Support).

The report to this Committee provided an update on the key priorities presented to the Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee on 21 October 2020 (as set out at Appendix 1 of the report) in terms of annual reviews. The priorities were:

 All posts for review Education, Health and Care Officers (EHCOs) to be recruited to and officers to have completed induction.  Co-produce clear information and guidance for parent/carers and schools in relation to annual reviews.  Undertake a data collection and cleansing exercise to ensure all schools are carrying out annual reviews within the required 12 month period, and to identify any schools who may require additional support.  All transition phase reviews to be completed, and plans finalised by the statutory deadlines.

17 Overview Management 7 January 2021

 The identified backlog of Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans requiring amendments to be completed by spring 2021. Focus to then shift to improving performance in regards to timeliness of the wider annual review process for all children and young people with an EHC plan.  Develop and roll out training on ‘how to hold a good quality annual review’ for Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) via the SENCO cluster meetings in the spring term.  Develop a framework for annual reviews for schools to improve the quality and consistency of the format of annual review meetings across East Riding.  The annual review tracked changes pilot to be rolled out across a wider group of schools.

Excellent progress had been made in terms of the timeliness of EHC plans completed within the statutory 20 weeks timescales and performance for the calendar year 2020 currently stood at 90 per cent (against a national average of 60.4 per cent for the calendar year 2019).

Clear progress had been made in relation to the recommendations from the Peer Challenge undertaken in April 2019. In November 2020 a new Head of Service for Children and Young People’s Specialist Services joined the Council and was in the process of consolidating any outstanding actions from the Peer Challenge and progress being made towards implementing the SEND Reforms into a single 10 point improvement plan. The SEND improvement plan needed to ensure all partners had a shared collective ambition in relation to children and young people with SEND and that resources were available to deliver this collective ambition at pace. Areas which were likely to be included in the 10 point improvement plan, based on initial observation and analysis, were:

1. Data and Systems Management 2. Governance arrangements 3. Parent/carer and children and young people’s voice 4. Development of a sustainable financial strategy for SEND 5. Sufficiency of places across the SEND system 6. Joint commissioning arrangements 7. Transition arrangements 8. Performance Management and Quality Assurance 9. Workforce Development 10. Communication and Engagement

This single 10 point improvement plan would be available for consideration and consultation in early February 2021 with parents, carers and schools. It was noted that the 10 point improvement plan was not linear, each section would need to work in parallel with one another to ensure holistic approach was taken across the whole SEND system. That way the right interventions could be made at the earliest possible point in time.

It was explained to Members that demand for SEND services increased significantly following the introduction of new legislation in 2014 that raised and increased expectation. Ultimately it was this increased pressure that had significantly challenged the SEND system nationally, however, it was acknowledged that some administrative process had not always kept up with the provision of services, resulting in shortcomings of service for some children and young people with SEND. The significant enhancement of the SEND annual review team would ensure that the administration of EHC plans was aligned with the real time activity.

Members were provided with the necessary assurance in the direction of travel and progress being made by the Service in improving SEND provision for children and young people across the East Riding.

18 Overview Management 7 January 2021

The Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee would continue to monitor performance of the SEND Service, with an update due at its meeting in May 2021.

The Committee then discussed the following points:

 Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans - Annual Reviews - In January 2020 work was undertaken to identify the number of EHC plans that required amendment following the annual review process, that were yet to be updated. The data revealed approximately 600 EHC plans that were more than three years old, requiring significant amendments to be made to accurately reflect the needs of the child/young person for whom they were written to support. The target date was for all 600 plans to have been completed by April. To date, two thirds of the plans had now been drafted.

Annual reviews were undertaken by schools/settings, not by the SEND Assessment and Review Team (SENDART). The training on the quality of Annual Reviews would address the key purpose of reviews and provide an opportunity to re-establish roles and responsibilities and the purpose of the annual review process.

The writing of some EHC plans had been outsourced at one stage to ensure that the transition deadlines for primary and secondary transfers met the statutory timescales. Members were assured that all draft transition EHC plans were quality assured before they were sent out to parents/carers.

 Embedding cultural change within the Service - recent years had seen some staff churn, including an increase in staff working across the Service with culture well embedded. There was now a much clearer sense of purpose and ambition across the workforce of outcomes required for children and young people with SEND. Time out was being taken by the new Head of Service with staff to discuss culture of the service and parental expectations. In particular a piece of work was underway as part of the supervision and team meeting process with the SENDART as to what they believed the culture and values of the Service needed to be. The Service area’s cultural ethos/underpinning principles would form a key part of Point 9 (Workforce Development) of the draft 10 point improvement plan.

 Communication - A lot had been done to improve the effective engagement and communication with parents, carers and schools but it was acknowledged that there was still further work to be done. In particular there was a need to establish an accurate scheduled calendar of events with the Parent Carer Forum (PCF) to enable a clear communication stream with the PCF, parents and SENCOs. Under the Point 10 (Communication and Engagement) of the improvement plan the Service would be measuring the confidence of both parents and the workforce in the SEND service.

 Key Priorities and 10 point improvement plan - it was questioned what the key priorities were for the Service moving forward. The new Head of Children and Young People Specialist Services described all the areas in the improvement plan being a priority with a particular focus around ensuring primary need data was accurate across the East Riding so that services could be effectively developed to meet need. Also to ensure there was a collective shared ambition across the Council and its partners that was underpinned by a sustainable high needs financial plan. The model used to fund the provision in an EHCP consisted of three parts (Element 1 and 2 which were delegated directly to schools), Element 3 which was drawn down via the EHCP. The High Needs banding system in use in East Riding was introduced in 2014 and was in need of urgent review. It was also acknowledged that there was a lack of sufficient SEND provision for high needs in the East Riding, therefore there was a need to invest in provision across the East Riding so that children and young people did not have to

receive provision outside the East Riding.19 Overview Management 7 January 2021

It was suggested that the following points be included in the draft 10 point improvement plan:

(i) Accessibility of the SEND system to parents, carers and schools under Point 5 (Sufficiency of places across the SEND system); (ii) Feedback from all relevant parties under be included under Point 10 (Communication and Engagement).

 Staffing levels and induction process for Education, Health and Care Officers (EHCOs) - The initial baseline of posts across the Service was 16. This had now increased by a further 10 posts, acknowledging that the initial team was understaffed to meet the demand. The staffing level across the service would need to be kept under review to ensure it had the requisite workforce to deliver SEND services effectively.

A clear induction process was established that new EHCOs undertook in the first few weeks in post. This was then followed by fortnightly developmental training sessions for all staff within the SEND Assessment and Review Team (SENDART). There was an ongoing process to ensure all the SENDART staff had the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to enable them to fulfil their duties effectively.

Agreed - (a) That Members take assurance of the direction of travel and progress being made by the Service in improving SEND provision for children and young people across the East Riding and thank officers for their hard work and dedication in turning around SEND performance to date;

(b) that the continued work of the Children & Young People Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee in scrutinising and monitoring SEND performance be commended;

(c) that the draft 10 point improvement plan be shared with the Committee and Children & Young People Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee for comment/input as part of its consultation, and

Recommended -

(d) that under the following points be included in the draft 10 point improvement plan:

(iii) Accessibility of the SEND system to parents, carers and schools under Point 5 (Sufficiency of places across the SEND system); (iv) Feedback from all relevant parties under be included under Point 10 (Communication and Engagement).

574 REVENUE BUDGET 2021-22 AND FINANCIAL PLAN 2021-22 - 2024-25 - The Committee received a presentation from Julian Neilson - Head of Finance.

An overview of the Revenue Budget 2021/22 and the Financial Plan 2021/22 - 2024/25 was given that was based on uncertainty of the following areas:

 Fair Funding Review  Future council tax policy

21 Overview Management 28 January 2021

 No social care green paper  EU Exit  Covid-19 pandemic impact on the Council and the wider economy  Uncertain levels of government support  Business rates reform  Continuing rise in SEND numbers

The Financial Strategy was based on the following key areas:

 Resilience - a Covid-19 resilience fund of £6m was proposed.  Digital - there was already a digital reserve of £1m and a further £1m was proposed for realising the future digital strategy.  Commercialism - embracing opportunities whilst supporting the local economy and benefits to local communities.  Value for Money - being as efficient as possible and minimising spend. Being innovative with resources and agile.

The following balanced budget had been proposed for 2021/22:

 £36.7m of budget pressures - over £22m related to the pandemic.  £10.6m of savings proposals and £2.4m use of reserves.  £23.7m increase to service budgets.

The biggest pressure was the £13.3m to continue to support the adult social care market to respond and recover from the pandemic. There were fewer people in care homes whilst they were facing significant additional costs, and their long-term sustainability was critical.

By 2024/25 there was estimated to be a significant budget gap:

 £46.1m budget pressures  £16.5m of service savings proposals and £1.2m use of reserves  £18.8m increase to service budgets  Base budget gap of £9.6m

The Revenue Budget 2021/22 was based on the following key assumptions:

 Finance settlement and other government grants continue at the same level as 2021-22, including all social care grants.  Council tax increases: 4.99 per cent in 2021-22, followed by 3.99 per cent per annum thereafter.  Fair Funding Review still planned, therefore retained business rates growth reduced by 50 per cent after 2021-22.

The Council, along with all other local authorities, was facing unprecedented risk and uncertainty. In the short-term Government support would enable a balanced budget for 2021/22 (Council tax being the only certain source of additional budget in future years). The financial strategy would ensure resilience of Council services whilst enabling a continued ambitious and innovative approach and supported the East Riding as a whole to make a strong and healthy recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

22 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

Over the course of the 2020/21 financial year the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and its Sub- Committees had considered a number of topics that either had a bearing on or made recommendations with financial implications for the 2021/22 Council Budget as follows:

Overview Management Committee

 Council tax discount for special constables  Broadcasting of Council committee meetings  The Council’s Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic response and recovery

Children & Young People

 School funding  Covid-19 implications for schools  Ofsted review of Children’s Care Services and the Council’s improvement plans  Covid-19 implications for children

Environment & Regeneration

 Rural litter/fly tipping/enforcement  Covid-19 impact on tourism, culture and leisure and the capital  Business support grants

Health, Care & Wellbeing

 Public Health response to the pandemic

Safer & Stronger Communities

 Community response hub

The Committee then discussed the following points:

 Loss of Council tax receipts - it was queried if the loss of Council tax receipts had been factored into future years’ calculations. The Council tax was based on the current position and so there was a real risk for future years. However, an additional £2.6m funding had been received from the Government to support the Council tax budget next year. The Council was also setting up a collections reserve to mitigate any lost receipts.

 Impact on mental health from the pandemic - the pandemic had impacted on the mental health of both children and adults and would be factored into future years’ financial planning. There was a huge increase proposed to the Adult Services budget (£13m) which, as well as supporting residential care homes, factored in the additional increase in need for mental health provision.

 Comparison of financial resilience - it was questioned how we were placed financially, compared to other local authorities across the country. All local authorities were in an extremely challenging financial position due to uncertainty and unknown funding from Government. This Council was in a relatively resilient financial position and had a good level of reserves compared to other local authorities.

23 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

Agreed - That the presentation be received.

575 COUNCIL COMMERCIALISATION - The Committee received a joint report of the Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration and the Director of Communities and Environment, presented by Simon Laurie - Business Change and Corporate Programmes Manager. Also taking part in the discussion of this item was Alan Menzies - Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration (Chair of the Commercialism Board) and Councillors Aitken (Portfolio Holder for Economic Development and Inward Investment) and Handley (Portfolio Holder for Enterprise and Digital).

The Council generated a significant level of income from charging and trading and had increasingly looked beyond the management of decreasing service area budgets in order to protect front line services and meet future challenges. The Council’s financial strategy continued to focus on prudent management, the development of business change strategies and the maximisation of revenue utilising a commercial approach to income generation.

In 2020, the Commercialism Board began a project to determine the vision and framework for the future of the Council’s commercial strategy, in addition to continuing its primary objective to provide oversight, support and guidance to services to review or develop commercial opportunities.

The development and implementation of a Commercialism Framework would recognise the Council’s considerable potential to become more commercially active, built on foundations of strong management, governance and capability. Despite the current challenges and significant impact on all commercial activities affected by the global Covid-19 pandemic, there would be stronger resilience from the experience of trading in restrictive conditions and more emphasis on astute business planning and managed contingencies.

The Commercialism Board was keen to ensure that lessons could be learned from the situation and ensured that all services reviewing or developing new business plans could ensure, as far as possible, that appropriate contingency and exit arrangements were clearly part of delivery planning and risks were appropriately assessed and managed going forward.

The current make-up of the Commercialism Board, with the addition of Councillor Handley as a Member was set out at Appendix 1 of the report. Following the approval of the ensuing Commercialisation Strategy the make-up and governance arrangements of the Commercialism Board would be reviewed.

The Committee then discussed the following points:

 Commercialisation Strategy - The Cabinet was very supportive of commercialism and the benefits it could bring to the Council, being a cross filtration of ideas and thoughts. A new Commercialism Strategy was being developed for Cabinet approval. It was requested that it be submitted to the Committee prior to a decision being taken by The Cabinet. It was also felt that it would be beneficial to have all Member engagement in the development of the Strategy and therefore an all Member Seminar was proposed.

It was questioned whether the Commercialism Board had sufficient expertise and whether external persons/companies could be engaged to provide further advice. Officers on the Board had experience of working in the external commercial sector. A recruitment process was currently underway to recruit a lead officer for commercialism who had the significant commercial skills and necessary experience. Depending on the direction of the new Strategy

24 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

and the experience and skill set of the new lead officer, would determine if further external input/experience was required.

 Traded Services - The new Schools Portal traded services of £3m and the aim was to develop/market this further. Around £7m revenue in total generated through schools. Members requested a briefing note providing a detailed breakdown of all the Council’s traded services.

 Reducing taxation through commercialism and open competition - it was surmised that using revenue from commercialism to reduce the level of taxation was also a stimulating factor for increasing the economy and therefore needed to be considered in the development of the new Commercialism Strategy. It was also suggested that the Council’s principle not to openly compete with other businesses should be re-examined. The Council’s objective in extending its commercial arm was based on improving quality, cost and customer experience. If an opportunity presented itself that met those objectives then it could be considered, however there had to be a careful balance not to impede on other businesses.

 Opportunity to explore block chain principles - the Council was aware of the principles of block chain contracting, although it currently contracted for outcomes rather than outputs. It was suggested that the Council explores block chain contracting principles further as part of the development of the new Commercialism Strategy.

Agreed - (a) That the Committee endorses the progress of developing a future Commercial Framework to shape a Council wide strategy of developing broad skills and innovation to encourage commercial opportunities and business planning in all service areas;

(b) that the Commercialisation Strategy be considered by the Committee prior to a decision being taken on it by The Cabinet;

(d) that the Committee receives a briefing note detailing a breakdown of all Council traded services;

Recommended -

(e) that the Council considers ways to reduce taxation through commercialism and to re-examine the principle of not openly competing with other businesses, and

(f) that the Council considers exploring the principles of block chains further.

576 COUNCIL BUSINESS PLAN 2020-25 (2021 UPDATE) - The Committee received a report of the Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services, presented by Simon Lowe - Strategic Service Manager (Corporate Strategy, Policy, Performance and Risk Management).

The report updated on the development of the Council Business Plan 2020-25 (2021 Update), which set out the Council’s corporate priorities for the period and detailed the key actions that would be taken to support delivery of those priorities and sought support of the draft document.

25 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

In 2020, the Council approved a new 5-year Council Business Plan, which was shaped around the corporate priorities and values which were revised in 2018. The key actions which sat beneath the priorities were reviewed annually to take account of emerging context and challenges, which had been largely, but not exclusively, dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic and preparation for Brexit in 2021.

As a result, consultation on the priority actions had taken place with Members and in consultation with Senior Management and Corporate Management Team during October and November 2020. The feedback from the consultation, together with a range of service intelligence and key information had resulted in revisions to the key actions which would be presented to The Cabinet on 2 February 2021 for approval.

The Committee then discussed the following points:

 Combined Authority - an update on was provided on devolution. The Council and Hull City Council had been invited by the then Minister to put forward an expression of interest to develop a combined authority. Since then, a new minister had come into post and the situation has been paused. No response was currently forthcoming from Government on how it wished the two Councils to progress this. As such, Members believed that the Council’s Business Plan needed to be flexible enough to adapt to a change in circumstances that might arise from progressing the development of a combined authority.

 Measuring outcomes/success - it was queried how the success of the Business Plan could be measured. This would be by way of a combination of factors and measures. Some would consider outcomes whilst others would consider output measures (ie numerical targets being met). A lot of detail to the Business Plan sat elsewhere under other strategies, plans and service area plans. A list of performance indicators had been included at the bottom of the tables for each of the five corporate priority ‘plans on pages’ towards the end of the plan document. Progress against the plan was to be reported annually to both the Committee and The Cabinet against these. This would complement the established quarterly performance reporting against the Council’s key corporate strategies and, where appropriate, individual reports on progress against other supporting plans and strategies that were variously reported to The Cabinet and/or Overview and Scrutiny. The Committee would consider how best it wished to receive progress reports on the Business Plan at its annual work programme setting workshop on 28 January 2021.

 Performance Indicator ‘Supply of ready to develop housing sites’ - under this Performance Indicator it was requested that the addition of the wording “and their equitable distribution across the authority area” be considered.

Agreed - (a) That the Committee supports the Council Business Plan 2020-25 (2021 Update) for submission to The Cabinet, and

Recommended -

(b) that, under the Performance Indicator ‘Supply of ready to develop housing sites’, the wording ‘and their equitable distribution across the authority area’ be added.

577 CLIMATE CHANGE REVIEW PANEL REPORT - The Committee received a covering report of the Director of Corporate Resources and the report of the Climate Change Review Panel presented by Councillor Medini - Chair of the Review. Also taking part in the consideration of this item was Alison Finn - Senior Committee Manager (Review Manager) and Alan Menzies - Director of Planning

26 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

and Economic Regeneration (Review Link Director).

The Climate Change Review Panel was established following a request by the Overview Management Committee and examined climate related risks and opportunities to the Council, its residents and businesses and investigated how the Council could act to minimise the risks and take advantage of the opportunities. Over a course of meetings spanning October 2019 to December 2020, the Panel met with Portfolio Holders, Members and officers of the Council and partner organisations to gain an insight into the work that was already underway across the county.

Throughout the review, the Panel considered the impact of climate change, the work that was already underway to reduce carbon emissions and store carbon and the potential for future schemes. The Panel arrived at 12 recommendations as a direct result of the evidence that was supplied to them, with the aims of helping the Council to achieve ambitious climate change targets. Whilst accepting that work needed to pick up pace, the Review Panel was pleased with the level of work already underway and felt that details of this work should be shared with residents.

A report had been produced by the Review Panel outlining its findings and recommendations which was attached at Appendix 2 of the report. After considering all the evidence put to them, alongside the impact of climate change on the East Riding, the Panel determined its final recommendation that the Council should declare a Climate Emergency in order for action to be taken at a much faster pace to halt the impact of climate change on the East Riding.

The Portfolio Holder for Strategic Property and Infrastructure commended the work of the Panel and concurred that having a dedicated climate change strategy would ensure the Council had a cohesive plan to delivering its carbon reduction targets/requirements.

The Committee praised the commitment of the Panel Members in undertaking the review and congratulated the Panel on its report. Tribute was also paid to the dedication of officers in supporting the Panel throughout the process, in particular the work of Alison Finn - Senior Committee Manager, in supporting the Panel in its deliberations and drafting its report.

The Committee then discussed the following points:

 Strength of recommendations - whilst the findings and recommendations of the Panel were well received it was felt that some of the recommendations could have been more forthright as the term “consider” was used frequently. With that in mind the Committee determined to strengthen the recommendations of the Panel by requesting Full Council, when receiving the Review Panel report for approval on 24 February 2021, to add the following wording to the end of Recommendation 1 “[…] Recommendations 2 - 11 and also those set out at Appendix 3 of the Review Panel report to be encompassed when developing the Climate Change Strategy.”

 Developing a Climate Change Strategy and monitoring progress against the Review Panels recommendations - the development of a climate change strategy would be undertaken by the Planning and Economic Regeneration directorate. The Strategy would be for the East Riding as a whole but would need to integrate with neighbouring authorities, such as Hull City Council and York City Council. To aid the development of the Strategy it was felt that Member Development sessions should take place to ensure all Member engagement. The Committee suggested that progress reports should be submitted to Environment and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee on a six-monthly basis to detail the progress being made against the recommendations. The Committee also felt that the Chair of the Review and Panel Members be invited to take part in future meetings of the Environment and

27 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee when the receiving progress reports on the Review Panel recommendations.

Agreed - (a) That the Committee fully supports the findings and recommendations of the Climate Change Review Panel and that the report be submitted to Full Council on 24 February 2021 for approval;

(b) that, when receiving the Review Panel report for approval on 24 February 2021, Full Council considers adding the following wording to the end of Recommendation 1 “[…] Recommendations 2 - 11 and also those set out at Appendix 3 of the Review Panel report to be encompassed when developing the Climate Change Strategy.”

(c) that the Council better promotes the work it is already undertaking in tackling climate change locally and reducing markets;

(d) that Member Development sessions be established to aid the development of the Climate Change Strategy;

Recommended -

(e) that progress reports be submitted to Environment and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee on a six-monthly basis to detail the progress being made against the recommendations, and

(f) that the Chair of the Review and Panel Members be invited to take part in future meetings of the Environment and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee when the receiving progress reports on the Review Panel recommendations.

578 COVID-19 RECOVERY PLAN UPDATE - ORGANISATIONAL RECOVERY TASK GROUP - The Committee received a verbal update from Darren Stevens - Director of Corporate Resources.

At its meeting of 10 December 2020 the Committee recommended that that the Organisational Recovery Task Group Scope include an additional objective to its Aim and Objectives, “to build a greener working environment”. As such the objectives had now been revised to include this additional objective.

Workstream 1 - an all-Member workshop would be taking place on Friday 29 January and Wednesday 3 February to receive a demonstration on various digital functions and to seek Members view on a number of proposals.

Workstream 2 - two interim measures had been implemented, with a page of thanks set up on the Intranet to show case and thank staff for their dedicated work throughout the pandemic.

Workstream 4 - an all-Member briefing took place on 15 January to discuss moving forward as an agile Council. New posts were being recruited to in order to drive this project forward. It was reiterated that the concept of agile working was based around giving staff the flexibility and support to produce their best work.

Agreed - That the updated be received.

579 COVID-19 RECOVERY PLAN UPDATE - FINANCIAL RECOVERY TASK GROUP - An update was provided as part of the above Minute 574 from Julian Neilson - Head of Finance.

28 CR\Democratic\Over_Mang\MINUTES\28jan21.docx (sb) Overview Management 28 January 2021

Agreed - That the updated be received.

580 OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY WORK PROGRAMMES - The Committee received a report of the Director of Corporate Resources, presented by Gareth Naidoo - Principal Committee Manager.

Agreed - (a) That an additional meeting of the Committee be held in April to scrutinise the above Commercialism Strategy and the People Strategy, prior to their submission to The Cabinet, and

(b) that the ‘Digital Strategy’ item be deferred from 18 March 2021 to the additional meeting of the Committee in April 2021.

581 FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS - The Committee received a report of the Director of Corporate Resources, presented by Gareth Naidoo - Principal Committee Manager.

The Forward Plan of Key Decisions contained information regarding all Key Decisions The Cabinet and the Council would be asked to take within the next four months. The Plan was reviewed monthly and rolled forward for each subsequent four month period with each Plan superseding the previous one.

The report detailed items which were due to be taken within the next four months (February to May 2021). The Committee was asked to determine whether it wished to consider the items on the Forward Plan of Key Decisions which fell under the Committee’s Terms of Reference prior to the decision being taken by The Cabinet and Council.

Agreed - That the items ‘Data Protection Policy Update’ and ‘Freedom of Information Policy Update’ not be considered by the Committee prior to a decision being made by The Cabinet.

EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL

HEALTH, CARE AND WELLBEING OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE

12 JANUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Owen (in the Chair), L Bayram, Beaumont, Davison, Fox, Green, Heslop-Mullens, Jefferson, Lisseter and Steel.

Officers present: Tracey Craggs - Director of Integrated Commissioning and Transformation (East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group); Andy Kingdom - Director of Public Health; Yvonne Rhodes - Head of Business Management and Commissioning; John Skidmore - Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services; Lianne Therkelson - Assistant Director of Community Services Transformation (East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group); Lee Thompson - Head of Adult Services and Samm Campbell - Senior Committee Manager.

Councillor V Walker (Portfolio Holder for Adult and Carer Services) was also in attendance.

The remote meeting took place via video conference (Zoom) and was streamed live to the Council’s YouTube channel.

740 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS - Councillor Boynton declared a non-pecuniary interest in minute 686 insofar as he is employed by Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust.

741 MINUTES - Agreed - That the minutes of the meetings held on 10 November and 1 December 2020 be confirmed as correct records.

742 CITY HEALTH CARE PARTNERSHIP - The Sub-Committee received a joint report of the Chief Operating Officer (City Health Care Partnership) and the Assistant Director of Community Services (East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group) presented by the Christy Francis - Deputy Chief Operating Officer (City Health Care Partnership). Also present and contributing to the discussion of this item were Tracey Craggs - Director of Integrated Commissioning and Transformation (East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group) and Lianne Therkelson - Assistant Director of Community Services Transformation (East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group).

Community health services in the East Riding were commissioned by East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and provided by City Health Care Partnership (CHCP). These services were predominantly for adults and aimed to reduce admissions to, and aid the discharge of patients from, acute hospitals.

When a national lockdown was put in place in March 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the initial guidance issued by the NHS aimed to support the health care system and create capacity in acute hospitals to care for the most vulnerable. Where the health care system had thought clinically appropriate, services had been stood down, planned care postponed and staff redeployed. During this time, CHCP had worked with the CCG and the Council on a variety of initiatives to improve capacity across the health and social care system. East Riding Community Hospital’s 30 beds had been used to provide a step-down discharge from acute hospitals and, after some patients had tested positive for Covid-19, the decision had been taken to dedicate these beds

30 Health, Care and Wellbeing 12 January 2021 to discharged patients who had Covid-19. This allowed the local acute hospitals to discharged patients who did not require intensive care.

Further guidance had been issued in the summer of 2020 as the initial wave of infections and hospitalisations abated. This guidance had focussed on returning most aspects of the health system to normal service in order to address waiting lists, which had existed prior to the pandemic and had grown during the months of lockdown. In order to approach this safely, like other partners across the health and care system, CHCP had assessed its waiting lists in order to treat those with the greatest clinical needs first. All health organisations had been faced with the same problem: the need to address their waiting lists as quickly as possible while every appointment and procedure took longer as a result of the strict infection control measures needed to control Covid- 19. As Covid-19 cases began to rise again in September 2020, the guidance focussed on returning to normal service had not been overwritten, meaning that CHCP would need to deliver on system- wide Covid-19 priorities while continuing to deliver its normal services. Additionally, during both waves of the virus in 2020, CHCP and other providers had been affected by infections, self- isolation and shielding (because of underlying conditions) among staff. This had led to CHCP recruiting additional permanent and bank staff. The Partnership had assessed all of its services and prioritised them according to their waiting lists and staffing situations. At the time of the meeting, most services had waiting times of 18 weeks or fewer and all services had resumed.

CHCP had set up an advice and guidance line for care homes which was available every day of the week. Care homes were able to seek clinical advice if they were experiencing difficulties in caring for residents and, on some occasions, these calls had resulted in a clinicians visiting the homes. As a whole health and social care system, the decision had been taken to go against the early guidance in relation to discharging patients into care homes and, instead, to use the step- down facilities in place to ensure that patients tested negative for Covid-19 before being discharged to a care home.

While CHCP had used digital methods to engage with patients (including video conferencing) in order to see them safely and efficiently, it had not disadvantaged people and had made adjustments to its service delivery for people who were not able to engage in these ways. In relation to staffing, CHCP had been flexible, prioritising resilience and willingness, and had sought to involve frontline staff in its decision-making processes.

The following points were also raised:

 Working in Partnership - Officers of the Council, the CCG and CHCP agreed that they were proud of the close working relationships which had been formed throughout the pandemic. Through inter-organisational new and existing working groups and boards, each of the organisations in the health and social care system had worked in coordinated ways since before the first national lockdown.

 Temporary and Permanent Changes - The Sub-Committee was keen to understand which of the changes that CHCP had implemented it intended to keep in place when the main danger of the pandemic had passed. Following the initial response to the pandemic, where decisions had been taken at a high level in the organisation, CHCP had found that some its most productive groups were the tactical ones which sat underneath the gold and silver command groups. These daily tactical sessions had led to CHCP and other organisations being able to adapt constantly to the pandemic as the virus and the impacts on health and care services became clearer. Changes suggested by the tactical group had been implemented using an accelerated governance process and CHCP was keen to maintain a level of input from frontline staff. Accessibility of services by residents had been a

CR\Democratic\HealthCare&WellbeingSub\Minutes\12jan20.docx (sc) 31 Health, Care and Wellbeing 12 January 2021

particular issue in rural areas and CHCP had begun to undertake some of its work by phone or video conference. The feedback received by CHCP through Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire was that patients’ experience of care following discharge from hospital was initially good, but that it declined soon after. As a result of this feedback, CHCP had changed its approach to care after discharge, putting in place periodic support for six weeks following each discharge from hospital.

 Workforce - Previously, CHCP and other health providers had invested a good deal of money in their estates but, since the beginning of the pandemic, they had witnessed an increase in productivity as many members of staff had begun to work at home. The use of video conferencing for consultations often yielded the same results without travel for patients or consultants. CHCP was engaging with its staff to understand how they felt about changes to service delivery and how they felt CHCP could be improved in the long-term. CHCP was keen to avoid returning to any ways of working which had been shown to be inefficient in the light of the changes implemented in the previous months. As a community interest company, savings made by CHCP would continue to be invested back into its staff and services. Following the announcement of the first national lockdown, CHCP had sought to ensure that its leaders remained available to their teams. The early lack of clarity nationally in relation to issues such as underlying conditions and increased vulnerability to Covid-19 within black and minority ethnic communities had been a significant concern for many of CHCP’s staff members. Since the early days of the pandemic, CHCP had increased the number of ways it engaged with its staff members, who were largely working remotely. The establishment of the tactical sessions and question-and-answer sessions had helped considerably, and the Chief Executive had maintained an open-door policy.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee commend City Health Care Partnership’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its role in supporting the wider health and social care system, and

Recommended - (b) That the wider health and social care system remain conscious of the lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic rather than return to old ways of working.

743 COVID-19 RECOVERY PLAN UPDATE: PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE - The Sub-Committee received an update from John Skidmore - Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services. Also contributing to the discussion of this item were Andy Kingdom - Director of Public Health, Yvonne Rhodes - Head of Business Management and Commissioning, and Lee Thompson - Head of Adult Services.

All service areas within the Council had updated their cohort assurance plans before the end of December 2020, each of which had been considered by the Protecting the Vulnerable Group. The situation across the health and social care system had been challenging in November and December 2020 as infection levels had surged. While the East Riding did not have infection rates as high as some areas in the South East of England, daily system-wide meetings continued to review patient-flows in all directions and to plan for further surges in infections and the potential increase in hospital admissions which would occur if pressure continued to increase on acute hospitals in southern and then midland counties.

The adult social care discharge suites situated at Castle Hill and Bridlington hospitals

CR\Democratic\HealthCare&WellbeingSub\Minutes\12jan20.docx (sc) 32 Health, Care and Wellbeing 12 January 2021 continued to work effectively in supporting people with positive, negative and unknown Covid-19 statuses. Nationally, local authorities had begun to look into the use of hotels for discharging patients who were medically fit for discharge from an acute hospital environment, but still required support.

The Council continued to receive between 30 and 40 calls per day to its Covid-19 community support line (01482 393919) and expected the volume of calls to increase. Infection control in care homes had continued to be highly effective, although the workforce was fatigued. The Council had continued to support care homes with weekly calls.

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust led the ongoing vaccination programme in the region. Vaccines had been administered in a variety of locations including primary care venues. While the new Covid-19 variants had not yet spread significantly in the East Riding, the Council was encouraging residents to observe the infection control measures strictly. No single infection control measure was effective on its own; they all needed to be observed to properly control infection. The overall rate of infection in the East Riding was between 230 and 240 per 100,000.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee receive a copy of the Council’s reply to the Government consultation relating to the establishment of integrated care systems nationally, and

(b) that the Sub-Committee commend the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccination programme locally.

744 HEALTH, CARE AND WELLBEING OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB- COMMITTEE WORK PROGRAMME 2020/2021 - The Sub-Committee received an update on its work programme for 2020/2021, presented by Samm Campbell - Senior Committee Manager. The Sub-Committee was due to hold its annual work programming workshop on 26 January 2021.

Agreed - (a) That the update be received, and

(b) that the Sub-Committee receive an update on the Covid-19 vaccination programme from Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE

14 JANUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Weeks (Chairman), L Bayram, Chadwick, Coultish, Hammond, Johnson, Lee, Meredith, Smith, Sutton and Whittle.

Co-opted Members: Mrs Bailey, Mr Killeen, Mr Nind and Mr Smith

Officers Present: Penny Donno - Head of Children and Young People, Support and Safeguarding Services, Lynsey Linton - Head of Human Resources, Hollie Troughton - Principal Social Worker and Alison Finn - Senior Committee Manager.

Councillor Abraham - Portfolio Holder for Children, Young People and Education also attended the meeting.

The remote meeting took place via video conference (Zoom) and was streamed live to the Council’s Committee Meetings YouTube channel.

The Sub-Committee members welcomed Mrs Kate Bailey to the Sub-Committee and introduced themselves.

867 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS -

Councillor’s Coultish, Johnson and Whittle declared non-pecuniary interest’s insofar as they all sit on school, college or nursery governing bodies.

Councillor Smith declared a non-pecuniary interest insofar as she sits on the East Riding foster panel.

868 MINUTES - Agreed - That the minutes of the meeting of the Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee held on 2 December 2020 be confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

869 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Children, Families and Schools presented by Penny Donno - Head of Children and Young People, Support and Safeguarding Services, Lynsey Linton - Head of Human Resources and Hollie Troughton - Principal Social Worker.

The Sub-Committee were advised that as part of the comprehensive programme of improvement a Workforce Sub-Group of the Improvement Board had been established. Co- chaired by Penny Donno, Head of Children Young People and Support and Safeguarding Service and Lynsey Linton, Head of Human Resources, the Workforce Sub-Group had responsibility for the delivery of a plan that will ensure a highly performing and talented workforce to deliver a quality service that meets customer need. The Support and Safeguarding Service Workforce Development Strategy had been designed in alignment with the Council’s wider People Strategy and Everyone Matters activity, which set out workforce ambitions at a corporate level. While good progress had been recognised by Ofsted and the Department for Education, in order to continue and sustain further improvements there was a need retain and grow talented and confident social

34 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\14jan21.docx AF Children and Young People 14 January 2021

workers. Effective workforce planning and development should lead to an increasingly stable workforce.

The workforce profile indicated that the East Riding could attract newly qualified social workers who are completing their Assessed and Supported Year of Employment. That was a result of strengthened relationships with Higher Education Institutions and social work degree programmes. Many individuals who experience a practice placement with ERYC throughout their training, move into paid employment with the Council. Improved recruitment strategies, such as the social work pool, also ensured the ability to attract the most talented social workers as soon as they are qualified. The Council had significant regional competition in the attracting and recruitment of experienced social workers. That pressure was likely to increase in the context of a potential pay freeze for public sector workers. Although the Council offered comparative benefits to other regional local authorities that was not always explicitly stated or advertised well during recruitment campaigns. Immediate activity was undertaken to address that by linking any recruitment adverts to an employee benefits webpage, which had been updated to include social work specific benefits.

A children’s social work ‘microsite’ was in development, where potential applicants searching for positions will be re-directed to a dedicated webpage that highlights the service structure, the employee value proposition, information from those currently working for the service such as ‘meet the teams’ and ‘a day in the life of’ articles, and ‘getting in touch’ options. Timescales for that to be in place was late February 2021. That activity linked in to the corporate marketing strategy and the content developed for the microsite would eventually be migrated to the corporate GetIn service specific sites, as part of phase two of GetIn activity.

A recruitment campaign for children’s social workers was planned for January 2021. That would link social media week and the wider corporate GetIn campaign to focus on recruiting experienced social workers to current vacancies. A virtual open night was being planned for the end of January where social workers could hear about working for the Council, meet key members of the senior leadership team and frontline practitioners, hear about the vision, values and employee value proposition, and provide opportunities for questions and answers. Recruitment of newly qualified social workers would continue to take place via the social work pool, with a standardised interview and recruitment process in place. Work had taken place to develop a portfolio of interview questions, which ensured recruiting managers assess the values and behaviours of candidates as well as social work skills.

There was a strong commitment to a learning culture, which promoted continuing professional development (CPD) across all levels of practitioner and experience, ensuring there was fair access to development and training opportunities, including leadership and management development. In the short term learning and development opportunities had been linked to the practice themes identified by Ofsted, however as the Practice, Performance and Quality Assurance framework has developed and been implemented, the priorities for learning and development were being identified through analysis of audit and feedback arrangements. That learning cycle would be further strengthened with new arrangements in the New Year for operational workforce development and training groups which would use a range of workforce information to identify the need for training, identify the right resource required to meet that need, and set learning outcomes which would be monitored via the group. Additional resource had been committed to the Quality, Learning and Improvement service area to create and recruit to two team manager posts, one which would lead on quality assurance arrangements and one with responsibility for practice development and CPD.

In addition to formal learning and development opportunities, workforce development was supported by consistent, high quality supervision that was both supportive and challenging,

35 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\2Dec20.docx AF Children and Young People 14 January 2021 and through ensuring a range of flexible and targeted coaching and mentoring opportunities to individuals and teams. Underpinning all of the workforce learning and development activity was the re-set of Signs of Safety as a practice model. The focus of the work to date had been on delivering training to the full workforce and creating practice leads, namely Signs of Safety Ambassadors, that would increase coaching and mentoring capacity across the practice system in relation to the practice model.

The Council were committed to strengthening the ‘grow your own’ culture, to retain those who have completed their ASYE. A key factor within retention was for social workers to recognise that they had a future within the organisation and career development. A review of the social work career pathways was underway which would clearly and explicitly inform employees how they could progress within the Council. There was a need for further development of the Advanced Social Work Practitioner role, which would build in additional coaching and mentoring opportunities into the system to support less experienced social workers.

Effective collaboration with the workforce built in a range of communication methods as part of the wider Communication Strategy, including regular staff pulse surveys, utilising a range of different media to engage with the workforce and provide consistent messages and information across the full service, and ensuring a visible senior leadership team. The information and feedback gained from that engagement and consultation activity would directly influence ongoing improvement activity and service design, with regular ‘you said, we did’ feedback being provided to the workforce. The health and wellbeing of the workforce was an ongoing priority and was a specific area of focus within the Workforce Development Strategy. A focus on wellbeing was being promoted within personal supervision with tools, such as the Mind wellbeing document and the team mental health assessment, being utilised by managers to monitor the health and wellbeing of their individual staff members and team as a whole and create plans to address any issues identified. .

Covid-19 and its wide reaching impact continued to challenge in ways that could not be predicted. The social and psychological impact on the workforce of the ongoing Covid restrictions and working within the context of continually changing guidance and regulations while maintaining direct visits to the most vulnerable children and young people within East Riding, could not and should not be underestimated. There continued to be a focus on supporting the whole workforce throughout these uncertain times, including listening and responding directly to their views and concerns relating to Covid, and increasing the ‘touch points’ that the workforce have with the senior leadership team and each other, both virtually and in Covid-secure locations. There was a greater need to understand how effective and accurate workforce intelligence data was currently. It has been identified that some of the key metrics to measure the impact of the Workforce Development Strategy were not accurately recorded in iTrent and would require an update to the system to enable some of those to be reported on. The systems between HR and finance did not interface well with each other, and key information relating to vacancies, for example, were not centrally available.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues -

 Attracting and retaining social workers - there were no additional financial benefits that could be awarded to social workers to attract them to the East Riding or to encourage them to stay. Reducing caseloads, offering training, providing coaching and mentoring and management support were the only way to develop the right culture that encouraged social workers to stay with the Council. Retention rates were good in the East Riding as managers collaborate with staff to bring change. Social workers dealt with highly complex situations and therefore had to be able to manage risk and feel supported in their decision making. There was collective ownership amongst teams so

36 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\2Dec20.docx AF Children and Young People 14 January 2021

that every member could work in partnership with the police, health and education to make the appropriate decisions for their children and young people. Work life balance was also important alongside job security and management support and flexible working needs could be accommodated. Social workers chose their profession because they wanted to make a difference and would stay in an organisation if felt supported and able to do their job without unnecessary bureaucracy. Staff were now given the opportunity for formal and informal peer and management support, online and in person (via Covid bubbles) and that was helping with wellbeing. The East Riding was being promoted as a good place to work and live, some relocation packages were available and cheaper property prices were being promoted to encourage people to consider working for the Council. The East Riding already attracted residents from North Yorkshire, Hull and North and North East Lincolnshire to work in the county. The national pay freeze could have an impact on recruitment but as it was a national policy, the Council could not impact on it. The starting salary for social workers was comparable with neighbouring authorities but some offered incremental pay grades which could not be matched by the Council.  Alternative routes to social work – the Council had an organisational development strategy that was looking at employee development and offering additional skills. There was also work ongoing on the apprenticeship scheme as an alternative route for staff to qualify as social workers and supporting activities were also underway in schools. 36 social worker placements were ongoing under the apprenticeship levy. The apprenticeship and kickstart schemes were also aiming to attract young people into the Council. Government funding had been accessed to fund a “step up to social work” scheme to upskill existing staff to those roles. Roadshows were undertaken in schools, colleges and universities to ensure that the East Riding had a visible presence to encourage young people to join the Council. Mrs Bailey suggested that contact was made with the Religious Education department of secondary schools as that topic was closely linked with the social work profession.  Sharing concerns - all staff were able to share their concerns both with their peers, line manager, the Principal Social Worker or with senior managers. Staff were encouraged to share their issues and were now given feedback on what the outcome was but if no action could be taken they were also now advised why. Recently staff advised Ms Donno that they needed more administrative support and that that was not happening quickly enough. Ms Donno was taking on more administration staff and would report back on that. The Principal Social worker regularly holds clinics for staff, has one to one discussions and then feeds issues to the Director and Head of Service who also feedback and are available to staff to contact directly. The Department for Education visited and spoke with staff in December and have verbally reported back that there were no negative comments received from staff on their ability to raise concerns or issues.  Staff moral - Covid was having an impact on staff as were the high caseloads they were managing. Caseloads had reduced but needed to reduce further and work was underway to address that. A comprehensive case tracker system was now in place for managers to track numbers and complexity of caseloads to ensure that staff did not become overwhelmed. The third Covid lockdown felt longer and more difficult for many front line staff who were still needing to meet with children and families face to face.  Finances - some agency staff were employed to cover vacancies, but the intention was to move to a position where agency staff were used to fill short term gaps caused by illness or holidays. When vacancies were reduced it was hoped that this capacity could be managed in house and that agency use could be kept to a minimum.

37 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\2Dec20.docx AF Children and Young People 14 January 2021

 Data and statistics - the Sub-Committee requested data around the level of vacancies, numbers of staff and the levels of pay in comparison with other local Councils. There were currently seven social worker vacancies with census data from 2019/20 showing a 17 per cent turnover of staff compared to the Yorkshire and Humber figure of 14 per cent. Data was not yet released for 2020/21 but internal records show a 7 per cent staff turnover. The official data would be released in February 2021 and shared with the Sub-Committee.  Staff training - there was a rolling programme of training available and online e-learning packages were also available. Coaching and mentoring was also readily available to new staff which incorporated informal training.  Social worker safety - all situations were risked assessed and social workers were given the skills to deal with difficult situations. Where there was a perceived safety risk, social workers undertook joint visits through a buddy system or when necessary with the police. All lone workers had a requirement to keep diaries up to date, to regularly check in with office colleagues and to follow specific safety protocols.

Agreed - (a) The Sub-Committee would receive data and statistics on the level of vacancies, numbers of staff and the levels of pay in comparison with other local Councils;

(b) that the Sub-Committee receive an update on social worker and staff recruitment as part of an Ofsted update item on the 2021-22 work programme, and

(c) that the Sub-Committee pass on their gratitude and thanks to all the staff in the Children and Young People Support and Safeguarding Service for their dedication and hard work particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.

870 CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE WORK PROGRAMME 2020-21 - The Sub-Committee were advised that an additional date of 21 April 2021 had been added to the work programme for the final Ofsted Review meeting and were reminded that the work setting workshop would be held at 9 am on Tuesday 26 January 2021.

Agreed - That the update be noted.

871 FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS - The Sub-Committee were requested to determine whether they wished to pre-scrutinise the item on the procurement of a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System/Framework to procure specialist short break services for children and young people from 1 August 2021 on the Forward Plan of Key Decisions to be heard by Cabinet.

Agreed - That the Sub-Committee do not wish to consider this item prior to the decision being taken by Cabinet on 23 March 2021.

EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE

20 JANUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Weeks (Chairman), L Bayram, Chadwick, Coultish, Hammond, Johnson, Lee, Meredith, Smith, Sutton and Whittle.

Co-opted Members: Mr Killeen and Mr Nind

Officers Present: Samantha Lawson - Senior Education Welfare Officer, Deborah Myers - Head of Children and Young People, Education and Schools, Liz Russell - Senior Committee Manager, Margaret Wood - Partnership Manager - East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership, Sarah Wright - Principal Education Welfare Officer and Alison Finn - Senior Committee Manager.

Kay Durrant - Independent Scrutineer was in attendance for item 874.

The remote meeting took place via video conference (Zoom) and was streamed live to the Council’s Committee Meetings YouTube channel.

872 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS -

Councillor’s Coultish, Johnson, Meredith and Whittle declared non-pecuniary interest’s insofar as they all sit on school, college or nursery governing bodies.

Councillor Smith declared a non-pecuniary interest insofar as she sits on the East Riding foster panel.

873 COVID-19 RECOVERY PLAN UPDATE - The Sub-Committee received a verbal update from Deborah Myers - Head of Children and Young People, Education and Schools.

The Sub-Committee were advised that schools were still open for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers. However, in a change from the first lockdown, schools were open for education not just childcare. Children without access to devices or the internet at home were now classed as vulnerable and could attend school with some schools reporting as much as 90 per cent attendance. The average across the East Riding was 35 to 50 per cent.

East Riding education staff were supporting schools and there was ongoing dialogue to manage challenges. The Council had suggested that schools could prioritise vulnerable children, then those with two critical worker parents or a single parent and then those with just one critical worker parent in order to keep class sizes down and maintain social distancing. Government guidance had been issued with a significant list of critical worker occupations but schools could narrow it down to those directly supporting the Covid response or the Brexit process. Individual schools were making their own decisions in order to keep in class on online teaching going. A few schools were closed due to having positive Covid-19 cases and 205 children booked into schools were currently self-isolating due to Covid. In collaboration with Headteachers and Unions, the education team had developed online learning guidance to assist schools with their remote learning offer.

The Department for Education had directly funded 2663 devices for children in the East Riding that the Council had ordered for schools. Academies had to order their devices directly

39 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) Children and Young People 20 January 2021 from the Department for Education. Phase one in the summer term saw 600 devices allocated to the East Riding and Phase two in the autumn term saw 2063. The Government had announced that 300,000 devices would be available nationally in the spring term that would be available for children and young people who only had access to a smart phone or had to share devices with siblings. There was also a separate scheme to provide routers or mobile data devices that schools had to apply for directly to the Department for Education. Private offers of IT equipment had been received and the Council was exploring how they could be utilised due to safeguarding issues.

The whole Children, Families and Schools Directorate were focussed on keeping vulnerable children in sight and safe. Schools received daily phone calls to check that vulnerable children were attending, including children looked after and those with an EHCP. Bridlington Spa was being utilised to run a helpline and leisure centre staff were working alongside education welfare staff to cover the telephones.

Children entitled to free school meals over the Christmas period had received funding through the winter support grant as Council’s could not replicate the free school meals programme. Parents were also able to claim for help with heating costs, equipment and furniture. That process would be available over the February half term. £45 per child was awarded for the two week Christmas period. The Department for Education had determined that schools should provide food hampers instead of free school meals with vouchers only available as a last resort. The national voucher scheme was reinstated on Monday. The Council’s catering services had provided support to schools with a service level agreement, 130 schools, to suggest items that were included in the hampers. Economies of scale were causing some issues as schools were used to bulk buying large quantities of ingredients and making meals from scratch but parents could not be expected to. There had been one complaint received that had been resolved.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues:

 Devices - there were 300,000 devices available from the spring but that was nationally, the Council would apply on behalf of schools. There were regular conversations around what was needed but schools had to apply for routers and mobile data directly. IT devices were signed over to schools and there was a challenge around repairs that was currently being discussed. A smart phone was not classed as a device, laptops or tablets were the best way for children to learn online.  Best practise guide - there was no best practice guide for schools, the Council had developed a collaborative framework for online learning with Headteachers and Unions. All schools were different and needed to develop their own best ways of working but could contact the Council for support. Lessons had been learnt from earlier lockdowns and teachers and pupils were now more confident with online lessons.  Teacher welfare - staff were exhausted, working hard and dealing with stress and anxiety. There was a Headteacher wellbeing group to offer help and advice and all Headteachers could contact the education team for support. Communication was the key and there were several methods of contact that could be used to offer help and support.  Remote learning - remote learning was not just about online learning. Many schools also provided work packs, particularly to those with no or slow internet or to those children that did not engage with online learning. The schools knew their children well and could offer the tailored assistance that their children need. The BBC programmes were intended to top up education, not replace it.

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) 40 Children and Young People 20 January 2021

 Vaccinations - ideally teachers would be high on the list to receive Covid-19 vaccinations but that was a national public health issue. The Council had suggested to the Department for Education that teachers should be prioritised.

Agreed - (a) The Sub-Committee receives a further update at its meeting on 17 March 2021 to include an update on the assessment processes replacing exams, and

(b) that the Sub-committee commend the education and school staff involved in keeping education going, they are doing amazing work.

874 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EAST RIDING SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN PARTNERSHIP - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Children, Families and Schools presented by Margaret Wood - Partnership Manager - East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership and Kay Durrant - Independent Scrutineer.

The annual report covered activity around business priorities and core functions of the safeguarding partnership to ensure an effective safeguarding response for children and young people across the East Riding. 2019/20 was the first year under new structural arrangements and the first year that Kay had worked as Chair and Independent Scrutineer. It was the first year that an annual assurance conversation was undertaken bringing together all partners to reflect on priorities, effective safeguarding and processes. It was also an opportunity for partners to discuss how they were managing with Covid-19 and their experiences. In response to the Ofsted inspection of front door services, improvement work had developed an effective support model. The Council made sure across the partnership that front door arrangements were in place and part of the partnership work was training. The effective support model was shared and monthly front door audits were undertaken to ensure that contacts coming in were of good quality and children and families were being referred appropriately to the correct services. Threshold briefings were also ongoing alongside challenge and support meetings.

The priorities of the partnership had been revised with the assistance of the Independent Scrutineer and were now:

 Leadership, Governance and Assurance  Child Abuse  Neglect and Hidden Harm  Early Help, Pathways, Thresholds and Assessments

There was particular emphasis on neglect and hidden harm and the situations that impacted on parent’s ability to parent well. Mental health issues, substance abuse and domestic abuse all impacted on a parent’s ability to parent and therefore a ‘think family’ approach was being taken. Families with new babies were being offered support and advice in order to prevent parental neglect. Work was also underway with adult services, health and public health around transition from childhood services to adult services to ensure smooth transitions and continuity of support to address risk factors such as Child Exploitation.

The Partnership were looking to revise its learning framework and multi-agency performance dashboard to strengthen its assurance work and response to the challenges and demands partner agencies were experiencing in 2021. The National review of Health arrangements including CCGs and the Sir Alan Wood LSCP Review may bring about change which will impact on the work of the East Riding Partnership.

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) 41 Children and Young People 20 January 2021

The Independent Scrutineer advised the Sub-Committee that the 2019/20 report covered the transition period when she moved from an independent Chairman to an independent scrutineer. There was now joint ownership and accountability shared by the Council, the Police and Health. The governance structure was the key to success and education of all partners was also important. A shadow board had also been developed to hold the Partnership to account and parents and young people had been encouraged to join it. The board allowed for issues to be raised, and services to be assessed so that it could be reported back directly to the Partnership. The Partnership were aware that there were some improvements still to make but all members were working together to ensure that they were. The Ofsted report on front door services created active challenge of processes and good practice from national panels was being incorporated to drive improvements.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issue:

 New babies - it was recognised that having a new baby could be stressful when they were crying and feeding constantly. A coping with crying video had been produced by the CCG to offer help to families and would be shared with the Sub-Committee. Services were engaging with both Mums, Dads and carers to help to prevent accidental injuries and a new baby campaign was being launched in conjunction with early years staff.  Online safety - as devices were now being used for online learning, IT safety advice was essential to prevent harm to children. Newsletters had been developed and shared with Headteachers with advice and guidance to support parents to protect their children on line. Links to online safety support and messages were being sent out via social media channels. The ERYC schools safeguarding officer was also available to schools for advice on safeguarding matters. Online safety around grooming, gambling and gaming were also a priority along with promoting limiting screen time exposure. The NSPCC promote safe screen times and offers advice to parents to monitor that and implement shutdowns when necessary. Links to support guidance is also available on the ERSCP website.  Hardship - many families were also experiencing hardship and struggling with food, rent arrears and debts during the Covid crisis. When families presented with those problems they were referred to the correct services to get help and advice. The HEY Smile Foundation and East Yorkshire Foodbank were providing assistance with food parcels and the Citizens Advice Bureau and Step Change were offering help with finances and debts alongside Council services.  Representatives on the Partnership - the partnership were looking to attract further community members and that could include faith representatives. Links had been made locally with different faith groups and they could offer benefits to the partnership work. It was difficult to attract young people to join but work was underway on that.

Agreed - That the Sub-Committee receives an update as part of the 2021/22 work programme.

875 ELECTIVE HOME EDUCATION - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Children, Families and Schools presented by Sarah Wright - Principal Education Welfare Officer and Samantha Lawson - Senior Education Welfare Officer.

The Sub-Committee were advised that Elective Home Education was a parental choice in law to take full responsibility for their child’s education. Parents then had to provide all educational resources and draw up plans but there was no requirement to follow the national curriculum or

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) 42 Children and Young People 20 January 2021

provide an academic education or to follow the traditional school week. There was also no requirement for children to take exams when they were being electively home educated.

Where a child had never been on the roll of a school, there was no requirement on parents to tell a Council that they were electively home educating their child. Where a child had been in school and parents decided to home educate them, they only had to advise the school which then notified the Council. The Council held a database in order to ensure that all children being home educated received a suitable and efficient education. There was no further national definition of what a suitable and efficient education was and no requirements on parents to allow the Council access to their children to ensure that they were being educated well.

The Council had replied to national consultations and requested a clearer definition of suitable and efficient education and a mandatory registration of all children being electively home educated. Requests had also been made to obtain the right for Councils to check the environment of children being home educated from a safeguarding point of view.

The Council was supportive of families electively home educating and offered home visits to work alongside families with their education offer. Where concerns were raised that a child was not receiving a suitable education, legislative routes could be taken to enforce school attendance but that was only utilised as a last resort. Where a parent failed to lodge an education plan, the Council could assume that there was not one in place and therefore get a child back into school. Where a child was attending a special school, parents had to obtain permission to remove them to electively home educate them.

The Government consultation on elective home education closed in July 2019 but there had not yet been an outcome and Covid-19 had had an impact and was delaying matters. The Education Select Committee had called for evidence in the autumn term and the Council had responded asking for a mandatory registration scheme, inspections and education plans.

The figures of children being home educated fluctuated during the year and during 2019- 20 dropped to 467. There were very few notifications during the first lockdown as all children were at home due to school closures. Figures reduced to 275 in 2019-20 as 75 children returned to school, 28 moved outside the East Riding and 80 children stopped being of school age. There were 262 children recorded at the start of 2020/21. 222 new notifications had been received so far in 2020/21 but parents had no requirement to provide a reason for removing their children from school. 84 had specified Covid-19 concerns and 27 children had already returned to school. There were concerns about the impact on schools and children on them being removed from school, they then lose their school place and would not necessarily be able to return to that school in the future. There was the potential for an increase in school appeals in the future if pupils started to be refused places.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues:

 Absence from school - when a pupil had been missing from school for more than 20 days and the school had been unable to contact them, they referred them on to the Council. The Council then made every effort to track them down. Some pupils had moved but failed to notify the school, the majority were located by the Council and work was undertaken with them and their families to get them back into school. Safeguarding was the main issue and the Council and schools wanted to ensure that all children were visible and safe.  Invisible children - where children were never on a school roll and parents had not registered with the Council, the Council would not know about them there unless other agencies referred them through. Health visitors or neighbours could refer children

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) 43 Children and Young People 20 January 2021

through where they find them. Oversight was a concern and therefore mandatory registration was a priority for the Council. There were some parents who were providing an excellent education to their children at home but there were some who caused concern. Every opportunity was being utilised to raise the issue with national Government but a recommendation from the Sub-Committee would help.  Covid-19 - whilst covid-19 seemed to have increased the numbers of electively home educated children, that was across the whole East Riding and there was no specific areas that had higher levels. Schools were advising against removing pupils from school but they could not prevent parents from taking that action. Where children had special needs and EHC plans, parents were advised that some of the support in place at schools could not continue at home and therefore the child’s needs must be considered carefully. Home Education packs included details on what services could be accessed and how an EHC plan could be obtained even when the child was not in school.  Exams - many children being home educated could not access exams. Some exam boards would not accept independent candidates and some colleges would only accept students with formal qualifications. That was causing an issue during Covid-19 where exams had been cancelled and home educated pupils often did not have a portfolio of work that could be assessed for grades. When children entered year 10, the Council worked with parents to plan for the future and prepare children for college or work. Electively home educated children were being discriminated against due to their lack of formal qualification and the Council had raised that with the Education Select Committee as an issue.  Older children - when children ceased being of school age they were referred on to youth and family support teams who then made contact. They worked with young people to prevent them from becoming classed as not in education, employment or training (NEET).  Social skills - the Council had no requirement to provide social activities for children being electively home educated but parents did often join together to run their own sessions. Children then interacted across age groups and were socialising well together. Some parents had expressed an interest in the schools music service but that had temporarily been impacted by Covid-19. Plans were underway to provide some sessions in the future.  Numbers - as there was no mandatory registration for electively home educated pupils there was no data held by Councils or nationally to compare numbers. There were regional groups that shared the figures they did have and the Council appeared to compare well to other similar sized Councils and increases were being seen nationally.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee hears Elective Home Education annually in conjunction with the annual report of the East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership;

(b) that a family home educating their child/children be invited to attend the meeting next year, and

876 ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROVISION - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Children, Families and Schools presented by Deborah Myers - Head of Children and Young People, Education and Schools.

The Sub-Committee were advised that Covid-19 had interrupted the planned work on alternative education provision. Working on the pandemic had taken the time of officers and

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) 44 Children and Young People 20 January 2021 school leaders away from the plans to improve and review alternative provision. Schools and the Council were committed to providing a robust strategy and would pick up that work as soon as they could.

The local context on alternative education provision had not changed but Covid-19 had impacted. There had been a reduction in permanent exclusions as despite schools remaining open, the majority of children were not in attendance. Rates had also reduced due to the significant work being undertaken by schools to prevent permanent exclusions.

The largest demand for alternative provision was predominately in years 10 and 11 but there was an increasing need for key stage 1 and 2 pupils. That need would be included in the new strategy. It was likely that post Covid-19, schools would be even more challenged by behaviour issues. The behaviour support team currently only worked in primary settings. Moving forward there was a need for that work to be reviewed with a view to being expanded into secondary schools. Pupils had been out of school for very long periods of time and adapting back to school life maybe challenging for some. Disruption caused by periods of closure due to self-isolation would also have an impact. There was no evidence that behaviour would have deteriorated but it was anticipated and planned for as a possibility.

During the past year the service had worked with schools to ensure that every school had a named alternative provision lead to liaise with Council officers around the requirement for their pupils. Phase one of developing the strategy was establishing the existing provision available and identifying any gaps, however that had been delayed by Covid-19, potentially to 2022. Some pupils on commissioned placements could not attend during the pandemic as some provisions had to shut and furlough their staff. Risk assessments in others had prevented face to face contact.

Funding for alternative provision could be an issue in the future as it came from the high needs funding block which was under increasing pressure. Funding may not increase but the future planning would be around securing the best quality placements for pupils moving forward. A working group had continued during Covid-19 but had not been able to meet as frequently as planned. In further developing the strategy, plans were in place to move the working group into a governance model.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues:

 Exclusion rates - schools had different behaviour policies and therefore officers worked with them to try to avoid permanent exclusions. Where that was not possible, the Council had a managed moved protocol as changing the context of a child’s education may help them settle and prevent exclusion. Comparison of exclusion figures with other Council’s did not always provide an accurate picture as some areas had many schools under multi-academy trusts and could therefore move children around more to prevent exclusion. Children at risk of exclusion had remained on school rolls throughout the pandemic and were either receiving help remotely or were still attending lessons in school. Children who had already been excluded were still receiving tuition, either remotely where their usual premises were closed (such as leisure centres) or face to face in risk assessed socially distanced premises.  Finances - it would be difficult to increase alternative education provision and places without an increased budget but there was also an increased need for additional resources in the behaviour support team. Improving behaviour could also reduce the need for alternative provision. The Council were committed to using the funding available creatively in order to get the right provision in place.

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Child&YoungSub\Minutes\20jan21.docx (af) 45 Children and Young People 20 January 2021

 Covid-19 - whilst the pandemic had delayed the revision of the alternative provision strategy and the determination to improve it, provision had continued and would continue whilst the review was ongoing.  The Hub - the hub school had remained open throughout the pandemic and children continued to travel to attend where necessary or receive remote learning. The majority of the pupils had EHC plans and were therefore classed as vulnerable so could continue to attend either on a part time or full time basis. Individual needs were being met using blended approaches. Whilst the Hub had received an RI judgement from Ofsted, many improvements had been undertaken and the Sub-Committee were keen to visit it again in the future when Covid allowed. The principal improvement advisor was the improvement partner for the Hub and was confident that when Ofsted visits could resume, they would see the changes that had been made.  Types of alternative provision - the alternative provision available was vast and the Council held a register of all existing provision alongside potential provision for the future. The intention was for officers to visit them all to assess their quality before looking at taking on additional provision.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee receives a further update on alternative provision during the 2022/23 work programme, and

(b) that the Sub-Committee visit the Hub when the Covid-19 pandemic allows.

877 CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE WORK PROGRAMME 2020-21 - The Sub-Committee were reminded that the work setting workshop would be held at 9 am on Tuesday 26 January 2021.

Agreed - That the update be noted.

878 FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS - there were no updates.

329 NATIONAL PROBATION SERVICE UPDATE - Kate Munson, Head of Humberside National Probation Service (Hull and East Riding), provided the Sub-Committee with an update of progress on the Probation Unification Reform Programme and provided assurance of the arrangements in place for transition to the new model of service delivery for the National Probation Service in the East Riding of Yorkshire in June 2021. Also present and contributing to the discussion of this item was Pip Davies, Community Director Hull and East Riding and Through the Gate Hull Lincolnshire North Yorkshire.

In May 2014 under the national Transforming Rehabilitation Programme, Probation Services were split into a National Probation Service Public Sector Agency, responsible for the management of all High Risk Offenders, offenders subject to Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA), including all Registered Sex Offenders, assessments and advice to the Judiciary and enforcement of Licence and Community Orders. A number of private companies including Interserve, Purple Futures were awarded contracts to manage all Low and Medium Risk of Serious Harm Offenders, the provision of Unpaid Work and Domestic Abuse Programmes and a number of additional Rate Card Services for offenders. Due to a number of complex factors, including reduced offender cohorts and contractual issues, this model of Probation Service Delivery was found not to be fit for purpose by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation, HMIP, throughout. As a result, in 2019, the Justice Secretary, Robert Buckland, announced a new programme of Probation Reforms, which reversed the previous “split” model of delivery and would enable the responsibility for Offender Management, Court Reports and Advice, Enforcement of Licence and Court Community Orders and the delivery of Offender Accredited Programmes and Unpaid Work to be managed by a new, Public Sector, National Probation Service from 26 June 2021 across England. This model had already been piloted in Wales since December 2019.

Significant workstreams were well underway to transform the national, regional and local Probation structures of the National Probation Service (NPS), with 11 new NPS Regions having been created. Yorkshire and The Humber Region covered the East Riding location. In England, each of the Regions was overseen by a dedicated Regional Director, Lynda Marginson, who represented Yorkshire and The Humber Region. The Regional Director would be responsible for governance and accountability of Probation Service Delivery in the Region and commissioning of services. Locally, a local Probation Delivery Unit (PDU) with a Head of PDU would manage all combined NPS and Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) offenders, accredited programmes, unpaid work and additional commissioned services in Hull and East Riding.

Running in parallel with the national Probation Reform Programme was a Workforce Programme, which aimed to ensure that a positive, inclusive, diverse, professional and skilled workforce was in place to meet future needs and expectations. This strategy included investments in professional development, staff wellbeing and a diverse workforce in order to attract and retain talented staff. Significant investment in the recruitment of additional staff across all grades was currently taking place with 1,000 additional new Probation Officers currently in training in 2020/21. Substantial investment in training, both nationally, regionally and locally was taking place to ensure high standard expertise and professionalism was both maintained and extended within a rapidly expanding NPS.

A new Target Operating Model was the blueprint for a strengthened Probation Service. It looked to support those subject to Probation Services by identifying the right rehabilitative support to address offending behaviour whilst supporting victims to access high quality, timely and effective support to help them cope and as far as possible, recover from the effects of crime and rebuild their lives.

For those offenders who presented the highest risk of harm to our communicates, NPS was a lead Responsible Authority for the provision of robust MAPPA arrangements and to ensure rigorous and relentless enforcement measures were in place to target those offenders not complying with Prison Release Licences or Community Orders.

All processes were currently being mapped to ensure the new NPS will be fully operational on 26 June 2021.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, NPS and CRC Probation Services in the East Riding had been subject to Exceptional Delivery Models, which ensured probation delivery remained fully operational throughout 2020 and into 2021. These arrangements were reviewed on a regular basis and were subject to a Gold, Silver and Bronze Command structure to ensure effective communication, dynamic risk assessment and operational delivery was prioritised.

Protection of the public remained the highest priority throughout the Pandemic with all High and Very High Risk offenders receiving face-to-face contact throughout the lockdown measures and all identified Safeguarding Children and Adult cases receiving an enhanced service. Remote contact and doorstep visits have been used to manage and monitor lower risk offenders.

NPS had worked closely with Her Majesty’s Courts to ensure Court Service Delivery under recovery planning and to ensure the Court cases and trials backlog has been significantly reduced through remote working, video access and extended Court hours working arrangements. It was a testament to the professionalism, resilience and commitment of all Probation staff that Probation Services remained delivered, not just to required standards, but over and above. Collaborative partnership working with key partners including the East Riding Local Authority, Children’s Social Care, Humberside Police, Youth Offending Service, Adult Social Care, the Community Safety

48 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

Partnership and many others had been a real strength in the East Riding and apparent throughout the past challenging 12 months.

Locally in the East Riding, the Head of NPS LDU, Kate Munson, and Director of HLNY CRC, Pip Davies, were in often daily contact ensuring oversight of respective Exceptional Delivery Models. Close and positive working relationships throughout had enabled a joint staff communication strategy to be in place throughout the Pandemic and in readiness for the transition. The Head of LDU for the East Riding NPS post would be subject to a recruitment process in the Spring of this year.

Current NPS estates in Goole and Bridlington would be easily able to accommodate transitioning CRC staff. A new NPS estates office location had been secured by MoJ in Beverley on the Swinemoor Estate following resale of the current leased premises and would be available for all staff in April 2021. All transitioning staff will be issued with NPS IT laptops, smart phones and relevant training in advance of unification.

The Sub-Committee asked the following questions:

 Lessons Learnt from the Previous Framework - The service had been relatively small and when this service had been split, it had been difficult to achieve the economies of scale. Service users did not often stay as high or low risk categories and it was acknowledged that time had been lost in bureaucracy. There were also contractual issues, which were not able to be managed locally. What had remained to go well was continued positive relationships and retention of protection of the public, which had been a priority.

 Recidivism - The service worked 18 months in advance in terms of their figures calculated for those who might reoffend. There were effective integrated offender management processes in place and it was hoped that these would be strengthened under unification by targeting those offenders who were constantly reoffending. Work would continue with partnership arrangements. In terms of the local governance arrangements around reducing reoffending, there was involvement with a partnership group, which targeted specific areas that contributed to reoffending and key areas had been identified as a partnership.

 Recruitment - The service had appointed seven new probation trainees this week with a further eight that were soon to qualify. There had been positive experiences working with universities, which has recently moved online. There was always demands for recruitment, with the challenges of high standards of training; it took a minimum of 15 months to train a Probation Officer. This was in addition to the degree required. Rigorous training was required to manage offenders with the service also requiring a lot of trainers to deliver.

 Probation Officer Cases - Within the National Probation Service, a workload management tool determined the numbers and types of cases that Probation Officers could have. This was based on the risk and complexity of each case. This was managed on a daily basis and huge effort went into ensure that staff were supported. This was the same within the Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC); each case was based on complexity then banded by risk profile/reoffending.

The service also had exceedingly close relationships with East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s social workers. Daily contact had remained throughout lockdown with the

49 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

EHASH and front door for East Riding for children social care. This also applied with adult safeguarding.

 Partnership Arrangements During Covid-19 - As soon as the country went into lockdown, meetings took place with the Community Safety Partnership every Friday. Each partner was able to update each other and work together to identify issues and support and prevent duplication. This had continued and was working effectively.

Paul Abbott, Head of Housing Transportation and Public Protection confirmed that the partnership arrangements with the National Probation Service had remained strong and worked together well.

 Support to Offenders with a less than 12 Months’ Sentence - Within the Humber and Hull prisons were Community Rehabilitation Company staff, jointly managed with Shelter. There was a specific group of people called ‘HIT’ (High Intensity Transition) Officers. These officers ‘hand held’ those short sentenced prisoners who were in custody for a short period of time. These individuals often fell into the integrated offender management arrangements - those who often returned to custody - and received intensive support from the Police as well as Probation Officers.

 Working with High Risk Offenders During Covid-19 - The Sub-Committee asked about the work with high risk offenders during Covid-19 and if there could potentially be risk on the process involved in their rehabilitation and bringing them back into the community. It was reported that from day one of the lockdown, the service had identified the top 40 service users who needed to be monitored closely. The service had not closed down all its office locations and had made its offices Covid-19 safe by use of Perspex screens, one way systems and wearing masks - before this was mandatory. Service users would also wear masks and checks were made to see if they were symptomatic. Staff testing had been rolled out; this was the first area in the country to pilot testing. All service users were given access to telephones to maintain contact. Special arrangements were in place for service users needing to isolate when they left prisons and approved premises were placed in special measures to ensure establishments were safe. Where service users did not wish to comply, there was a zero tolerance level when dealing with them. Normal enforcement of service users, if there was a significant risk, would be to return them to prison if risk was considered unacceptable. Some of the service’s remote working has enabled them to check where individuals were. Increased door stepping visits had taken place and home visits, which enabled to service to gain intelligence. Some service users had found meeting remotely with staff easier and would talk more freely about their issues. Work with partner agencies had also continued, which had enabled remote home visits with partners.

 Impact of Covid-19 and Backlog of Court Cases - There was tremendous demand on the National Probation Service. Court cases had commenced again, following a short period of not hearing any as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. The NPS had worked with Humberside Police to reduce the backlogs. Hull and East Riding had been involved with a special court pilot with extended hours, which paid staff overtime and used its resources from offender management. This capacity had enabled assistance in the courts with the backlog of cases. Remote working had been used to visit prisoners. All of this had seen a reduction in the backlog, but this would continue to be challenging and improvements continued to be made. This was a concern, however, all partners within the Criminal Justice System were working hard to reduce the backlog of court cases further.

50 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

 Translation for Service Users - The service made use of translation services via their mobile telephones. Where there were more complex cases, the service used One Voice.

 Mental Health of Probation Officers - In terms of the ‘revolving door’ of service users and the impact this might have on staff, the greatest value was that the Probation Officers had a belief that people could change with their assistance with service users’ mental health; wellbeing; drug treatment; employment and training, with the aim to change their attitudes. It was acknowledged, however, that some people, because of difficult life experiences, found it difficult to change.

 Waiting Lists - The Sub-Committee queried if there was a waiting list to see a Probation Officer. It was reported that there was no waiting list; a prisoner was seen on the day of release and arrangements were in place for this to happen without fail.

 Service User Engagement - The CRC had been able to employ previous offenders, who could help contribute and shape how the service was delivered. There was a service user council, which was led by User Voice - a national organisation set up by a previous offender for offenders. This helped to contribute to service improvement. Over the last six years, there had been a peer mentoring programme, which had a volunteer co-ordinator. As a result of this, ex-offenders had been employed in a number of appropriate roles under national guidance.

Agreed - That the National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Company be commended for their hard work and devotion to their roles in the community, especially during Covid-19 and managing to work and overcome difficult working conditions.

330 HOUSING STRATEGY UPDATE - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Planning and Economic Development presented by Nicola Sworowski - Forward Planning and Housing Strategy Manager. Also present and contributing to the discussion of this item was Nuala Taylor - Principal Housing Policy and Development Officer.

The report provided an update in relation to the delivery of the East Riding Housing Strategy 2017-2021 and the work priorities of the Housing Strategy and Development Team.

The East Riding Housing Strategy (2017-2021) set out the Council’s vision and plans for the provision of housing up to 2021, and had four key objectives. These objectives applied across all tenures, including affordable housing provided by the Council and other private Registered Providers, as well as housing provided on the open market. A suite of strategies and policies sat below the main strategy, which enabled the development of suitable housing to meet a range of needs.

Objective 1 - Increasing Housing Supply - During 2019/20 there were 1,397 net housing completions across the East Riding. Over the last three years, completions averaged 1,415 which was above the annual housing requirement target of 1,400 set out in the East Riding Local Plan 2012-2029 (Adopted April 2016). There were 274 gross affordable homes built during 2019/20, including schemes progressed by the Rural Housing Enabler (although taking account of losses e.g. Right to Buy gives a net figure of around 195). This figure fell below the Local Plan target of 335 per annum.

The Council was undertaking a review of its Local Plan and housing need was one of the key considerations, with a consultation taking place later on in 2021 to reconsider the allocation and would take a number of years to be in place.

51 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

A full review of the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) (2019) was completed in 2019 and published at the beginning of 2020. This was a substantial piece of work, which established the need for different types, size and tenure of housing across the East Riding. The updated SHMA also included the affordable housing needs assessment and consideration of how best to meet the diverse housing needs of older people and those with disabilities or specialist requirements.

Housing Strategy officers met regularly with Registered Provider (RP) development teams to discuss their development plans for the East Riding. Through one of these meetings Your Housing Group expressed their intention to focus their work more in the North West of England and were looking for our assistance to find another RP to take their East Riding stock. As a result the team was instrumental in the successful stock transfer into Council ownership of 145 homes from Your Housing Group, comprising of 129 rented and 16 shared ownership.

The East Riding had also seen the delivery of eight ‘Rent to Buy’ homes on the Shepherds Lane scheme in Beverley.

Objective 2 - Helping People find and Keep Homes They Can Afford - In the East Riding there were around 14,050 units of social housing, over 2,700 of which were owned and/or managed by Private Registered Providers. The Council’s housing stock currently totalled around 11,460 homes, which were allocated in accordance with the Housing Allocations Policy 2013 (Interim Refresh 2020). There were currently 7,254 households on the housing register, of which 2,741 were in reasonable preference in Bands 1-7. During 2019/20 there were 1,071 new lettings, 118 transfers and 82 mutual exchanges.

Applicants with a household income of more than £40,000 gross per annum or savings and assets (including equity in a property) of more than £150,000, or both, will be placed in Band 8.

The Housing Allocations Policy (2013) was due to be fully reviewed in 2020. Minor amendments were made in 2020 through delegated matters to ensure that the approach to homeless prevention and relief is maintained, and to incorporate revised legislation regarding Armed Forces personnel and families. The Tenancy Policy was refreshed in 2020 alongside the Bond Assistance Policy, which was also reviewed.

Objective 3 - Ensuring Safe, Secure and Good Quality Homes - A full review of the Housing Assistance Policy was undertaken in 2019/20, and was renamed as the Private Sector Housing Assistance Policy (HAP), which aimed to help residents make the right housing choices for their needs. The Empty Homes Strategy was also reviewed in 2019/20. This robust strategy brought a number of social, economic and strategic benefits to the Council.

Objective 4 - Providing Housing Appropriate for People’s Needs - In 2019/20, the number of households presenting to the Council as homeless was 622, of which 604 were owed a duty under the Homelessness Reduction Act (2017). Of these, 332 were owed a prevention duty and 272 were owed a relief duty. There were 129 main homelessness duty decisions made, of which 99 were accepted as being owed the main duty. The three main reasons for homelessness were loss of a private rented sector tenancy, parents no longer able or willing to accommodate and domestic abuse.

At the start of the first lockdown, there was a new Government scheme ‘Everyone In’ with the aim to get all rough sleepers off the streets. The numbers of rough sleepers were reduced by working in partnership with charities and the use of Bed and Breakfasts. A rough sleepers’ count estimated 11 rough sleepers in 2020; it had been 19 in 2019. The Council had piloted a local Housing First scheme to provide eight properties for those who meet specific criteria, with a view

52 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021 to assisting those either homeless or at risk of homelessness with complex needs to achieve a more settled lifestyle. The scheme has demonstrated some considerable success to date.

There had been a delay in the Syrian Resettlement programme, as a result of Covid-19. There were 32 families who been resettled in the East Riding and a further two families were due to arrive in spring 2020 - these would now arrive in February 2021.

The Sub-Committee asked the following questions:

 Affordable House Target - Concern was expressed by the Sub-Committee that the target of 335 affordable homes in the Local Plan was not being met. It was confirmed that a Review Panel into Affordable Housing had commenced. It was not unique to the East Riding that the target was not being met, this was being seen across the country. This was mostly as a result of viability issues and the ratio of affordable housing not increasing in line with the increasing overall net housing. The absolute numbers were increasing because of grant funding and not s106. The Council would also be applying to Homes England for potential funding. Losses through Right to Buy also impacted in the Council’s stock.

 Proportion of Affordable Housing Through s106 - The majority of affordable houses came about through s106 arrangements. There was a need to increase grant funding. The delivery through s106 varied across the East Riding depending on the viability of an area.

 Current Situation - The Sub-Committee queried the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 on housing arrangements and if the 145 homes from Your Housing Group would be included within the target of 335. It was confirmed that this would have been the case when first built but not on transfer to the Council. The additional 145 homes into Council stock had not been as a result of Covid-19, but because of where the provider’s base was and the travel journeys to undertake maintenance. Developers were still continuing with their housing strategy arrangements and these had not stopped, as a result of Covid-19.

 Armed Forces - The current Allocations Policy 2013 (amended in 2018) had been refreshed in order to reflect the Improving access to social housing for members of the Armed Forces 2020 statutory guidance. This statutory guidance was intended to assist local authorities when considering applications for social housing from members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families. Additional text had been included to reflect the new guidance, which strongly encouraged local authorities to extend the exemption from local connection requirements to divorced or separated spouses or civil partners of service personnel who need to move out of accommodation provided by the Ministry of Defence.

 National Requirements on Affordable Housing - The requirement of 1400 houses was a minimum standard; the Council’s target would be set through a standard methodology from the Government. The 335 affordable homes target was an indicator in the Local Plan, which was the target to be measured against.

 Local Connections/Key Workers - Consideration needed to be given in the Housing Allocations Policy with regards to local connections and consideration would have to be given to a clear definition of what a key worker was.

53 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

 Building in Coastal Areas - Certain areas within the East Riding were considered more sustainable. General house delivery in coastal areas was difficult to bring forward, in part as a result of viability issues. There was a need to support some of the smaller SME builders for them to build housing in these areas, in particular affordable homes. The Sub-Committee expressed concern that viable areas that were developed soon became unsustainable and acknowledged that there should be a change in the policy to encourage developers to make other locations sustainable for new houses. This linked in to limited employment opportunities along the coast.

 Exchanging Council Homes/Areas - The Council had a policy for allowing transfers and exchanges between Council tenants and those of Registered Providers, subject to certain conditions. Council house transfers were also a mechanism to enable the best use of Council stock, addressing cases of under occupancy when appropriate.

 Unsatisfactory Homes - The Private Sector Housing team were involved with the enforcement and advisory role in relation to Private Sector Housing. Seminars would be taking place with private sector landlords to raise awareness of legislation and to ensure they understand their obligations as Landlords.

 Strategic Housing Market Assessment - The SHMA considers a five year period, which was renewed in 2019.

 Design of Affordable Homes - The Housing Strategy officers commented on every planning application, which provided affordable housing. This included the mix of sizes, tenures, layout of the properties and location of the affordable housing within a scheme. Consideration was given to the internal layout of the dwellings to avoid potential future housing management issues.

 Impact of Higher House Prices in the East Riding - There had been a ‘stamp duty holiday’, which had seen an increase to house prices. The SHMA considered factors, such as wages and house prices and the Local Plan would undertake a viability assessment to help assess the affordable housing targets for each sub-area.

 Smaller Bedroomed Houses - The Sub-Committee expressed concern that there was a need for smaller bedroomed affordable homes in the East Riding. The SHMA sets out the need for a mix of different numbered homes; with the need for fewer four to five bedroomed houses. Mix of property size was part of the negotiations that Housing Strategy had with developers. Housing Strategy mostly expressed a requirement of one, two and three bedroomed affordable houses but were mindful that some families needed larger houses so request limited numbers of four bedroom properties on larger schemes.

 Empty Homes Strategy - The Housing Strategy team worked closely with the Private Sector team when dealing with Compulsory Purchases. Properties were purchased, which could either be brought into the Council’s own stock or re-sold on the open market with the intention that the new owner brings the property back up to a decent habitable standard.

 Housing Delivery Officer - The role of the Housing Delivery Officer was to have more detailed conversations with developers at mainly allocated sites.

54 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

 Council House Waiting List - The monthly letting sheet (appended to the report) provided details of which Band applicants had come from when a property had been let. People in Band 8 on the Council’s housing register were generally rehoused in instances when the Council was unable to find a suitable tenant from Band 1-7. There was a process when a property became vacant where the location/type matched their need. The Band 8 list enabled, under the Council’s allocations policy, for these properties to be let. The local connection criteria was a strong element of the Allocations Policy and whilst there was a perception that others from outside the area had priority, this was not something supported by the Policy.

In terms of applicants with a household income of £40,000 per annum going directly into Band 8, the review of the Housing Allocations Policy would be considering this issue, as the income threshold had previously been set in 2013.

 Changes to Council Stock - The Council held different types of housing stock. The Council’s Housing Assistance Policy allowed adaptations to private sector properties where appropriate.

 Syrian Resettlement Programme - The Housing Resources team had a wraparound package to support the Syrians who had come into the East Riding through the Resettlement Programme. The programme was well funded and support was also received from the Refugee Council and Migration Yorkshire.

 Innovative Ways of Delivering Housing Stock - The Sub-Committee expressed concern that the delivery of affordable homes in the East Riding was not being met and asked if different ways of delivery were being considered. The Council was always giving consideration to new ways of delivering affordable homes including modern methods of construction or ways to encourage developers. The right balance had to be struck in terms of what the Council does and the expectations of developers.

 First Time Buyers - There was a Rent to Own scheme in Beverley, managed by Karbon Homes, where the rent was set at an affordable level for five years, enabling the tenants to save for a deposit to buy their property. Shared ownerships was another option for first time buyers. The Council had been approached about discount market sale properties, where a property would be sold at 60% of the value, but could only be sold at 60% of the market value in perpetuity. Further guidance from Government was required on this scheme.

The Sub-Committee thanked Nicola Sworowski and Nuala Taylor for their attendance and the work that they undertake.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee receive a briefing note on housing requirement target under delivery of affordable homes across the East Riding, and

(b) that, in view of the pressing need for affordable homes in the East Riding, that every effort is given by the Housing Strategy team to address this issue as a matter of urgency.

331 COVID-19 RECOVERY PLAN UPDATE - COMMUNITY RECOVERY AND HEALTH PROTECTION TASK GROUP - Paul Abbott, Head of Housing, Transportation and Public Protection, updated the Sub-Committee on the Community Recovery and Health Protection Task Group, which was broken down into four workstreams: people; places; groups, and events.

55 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

The Sub-Committee was informed of what was being undertaken under the People workstream to support the East Riding’s residents, in particular those at high risk of domestic abuse. There had been 77 self-referrals of domestic abuse into the Domestic Abuse service and 62 high risk referrals received in the three month period at the end of 2020. The target of contacting each of these people was 48 hours, which had been met.

Staff within the Revenues and Benefits team had been dealing with financial support to people/families, namely winter support grants, free school meals and hardship funds. Over 27,000 supports had been provided in the period April 2020 to January 2021, which was nearly £3m of funding.

Under the Places workstream, this was involved support to local businesses with over 14.5 grants had been allocated, a total of £88.5m. In addition to this an immense amount of advice and support had been provided to businesses.

Work had been underway with the voluntary sector under the Communities Group workstream - grants to food banks to ensure these were adequately resources. Work was ongoing to support VCS community Groups and organisations to implement national and local Covid-19 guidance to ensure the safe re-opening of the sector. The service ensured that information about how residents could access physical, emotional and financial support was widely distributed so the information was as accessible as possible.

In terms of the Celebration/Civic workstream, between the national lockdown in March and December 2020, there had been 2441 death registrations completed. There had been 3183 appointments attended for the registration of births, deaths or notice of marriages/civil partnerships and 60 individual citizenship ceremonies. Since the national lockdown in March, there had also been 350 marriages/civil partnerships including 30 that were squeezed in over the seven day period prior to the start of the November national lockdown.

The service was trying to reach out to the community so that it could use real data and understand the needs of the residents of the East Riding. Surveys were sent out to residents; town and parish councils; neighbourhood watch groups, which had seen good results. The survey’s focus was on key priorities, like unemployment and social effects of Covid-19. A further survey focused on the theme of isolation and loneliness.

The Sub-Committee asked the following questions:

 Resources to Delivery Recovery Plan - Funds were made available from central Government to help deal with supporting businesses. There were additional pressures on the Revenues and Benefits team in terms of being able to make payments to people. Assistance had been offered from staff within other areas of the authority who were being trained to be able to support this team.

 Working with Supermarkets - The Council had been offering advice and guidance to businesses throughout the pandemic. The issue of compliance for people to wear facemasks in supermarkets had been raised 10 days ago, which had been of national concern. Local Authorities were communicating with supermarkets to ensure that spot checks and appropriate checks were being made. East Riding of Yorkshire Council would be visiting every supermarket in the East Riding to ensure this was being adhered to.

It was reported that it was within the remit of Humberside Police to deal with social distancing in the street and the remit of the local authority to deal with control of

56 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Safer&StrongerSub\Minutes\21Jan21.docx (lr) Safer and Stronger Communities 21 January 2021

premises. It was felt that the presence of Covid-19 Marshalls seemed to encourage people wear their masks.

 Recovery for Hospitality Services - Some licensed premises had not renewed their licenses, but there had been other new businesses that had requested a license. In terms of the recovery depended on a number of factors.

 Fines/Raids in the East Riding - The Head of Housing, Transportation and Public Protection would liaise with Humberside Police to determine how many Fixed Penalty Notices had been issued since the latest lockdown.

The Sub-Committee commended the work of the staff who were showing willingness to learn new skills and help their colleagues with demands in the Revenues and Benefits team.

Agreed - (a) That further updates be received at the next Safer and Stronger Communities Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee on 11 March 2021, and

(b) that the Sub-Committee receive an update on the number of Fixed Penalty Notices in the East Riding since the latest lockdown.

332 SAFER AND STRONGER COMMUNITIES OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE WORK PROGRAMME 2020/2021- The Sub-Committee received an update on its work programme for March 2021. It was reported that the Border Force had declined the Sub-Committee’s invitation to attend its meeting on 11 March 2021. There had been further delays in the Review of the Tenants Participation item also scheduled for 11 March 2021 meeting, this topic would be added to be considered at the Safer and Stronger Communities workshop for setting its work programme for 2021/22.

Agreed - That the Work Programme for 2020/2021 be received and the updates noted.

333 FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS - It was noted that there were no key decisions within the Council’s most recently approved Forward Plan of Key Decisions that had not previously been reported and which fell within the Sub-Committee’s Terms of Reference.

Agreed - That the update be noted.

596 MINUTES - Agreed - That the minutes of the meeting of the Environment and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee held on 9 December 2020 be confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

597 COVID-19 RECOVERY PLAN UPDATE - ECONOMIC RECOVERY TASK GROUP - The Sub-Committee received a verbal report from the Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration with a briefing note to follow after the meeting.

The Local Restrictions Support Grant scheme was launched on 12 November. As at 21 January the team had paid out a total of £16.8 million, with most businesses now paid up until 15 February. The Additional Restrictions Grant scheme, which provided funding to support businesses who had been severely affected by Local Covid-19 Alert Level restrictions and were not eligible to claim a grant under the other available schemes, had paid out a total of £1.9 million, with most businesses paid up until 15 February.

The latest available claimant count in December for unemployment-related benefits showed that the East Riding had 8,585 claimants, which was 87.4 per cent higher than the figure in March 2020. That was 4.4 per cent of the working age population (ages 16-64) compared to the regional and national rates of 6.5 and 6.4 per cent respectively.

The latest available statistics from HMRC showed that furloughed employments through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme fell from 44,800 on 31 July to 8,400 on 31 October 2020 in the East Riding. Furthermore, there had been 11,600 claims made through the Self- Employment Income Support Scheme 1 as at 31 October (75 per cent take-up rate) with an average value of £2,800 per claim. The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme reported 10,200 claims as at 31 October 2020 (65 per cent take-up rate) with an average claim value of £2,400.

58 Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

Town centre audits were completed in December 2020 by the Regeneration and Funding team to check store occupancy rates. The national average was 12 to 13 per cent and rates varied across the East Riding, with an average of 10 per cent overall, Goole at 15 per cent and Howden at 1.3 per cent.

Love Your High Street, as at 7 December, had received 174 applications, 55 completed an expression of interest form and completing a full application, 52 full applications were approved and 67 projects completed. An update for January was expected in the next couple of weeks. £385,000 was paid out with total project values of £1,660,000 (each £1 leverages in £4.30 in private match), £260,000 was committed from grants awarded but not complete. The average grant was £5,700 with £610,000 budget remaining.

The Council submitted two external applications to the Department for Work and Pensions for the Kickstart Employment Scheme on 11 November and 27 November for 18 employers (78 placements) and 15 employers (73 placements) respectively. The DWP grant letter had been received allowing the internal scheme to commence with 40 placements and the Council had asked to increase that to 51 placements in total. Placements within services should start May/June. A total of 150 placements would be managed through the gateway arrangement and so far 7 of the employers would also use the team for the employability skills support.

An additional £490,000 was bolted onto the existing ERDF Humber Growth Hub contract to help kick start tourism and boost recovery of Small to Medium Enterprises. Since opening there had been a total of 162 applications, so far 35 of those had been rejected. At 26 January, 62 applicant businesses had been approved/awarded grants to a total value of £254,685. A total of £195,708 had been awarded to Small and Medium sized Enterprise applicants and £58,977 had been granted specifically to tourism applicants. There were still approximately 30 applications to process and further applications were open to the tourism sector.

Retail and consumer specialist The Retail Group had been commissioned to deliver Covid-19 town centre recovery plans in eight towns across the East Riding. They would be working with Economic Development officers, operators and stakeholders over the coming weeks to identify short and medium term actions/improvements in those town centres. Towns selected were: Beverley, Hedon, Hessle, Hornsea, Howden, Market Weighton, Pocklington and Withernsea.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues:

 Business support - the business support team were working with businesses to help them to adapt or trade in different ways due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Some were able to change their services to online, click or collect and in the case of some catering establishments, switch to take away services.

 Market towns - it was likely that the kind of stores available in the high street would change due to the pandemic as customers moved from traditional shopping to online offers. There were still local shops likely to take up the places vacated by national chains but every market town was different and would attract different retailers. Bespoke plans would be put in place for each town to suit their dynamics.

Agreed - That the Sub-Committee receive a further update at the meeting of 10 March 2021.

598 PLANNING ENFORCEMENT - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration, presented by Chris Hodgson - East Area

59 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Env&RegSub\Minutes\27jan21.docx (af) Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

Manager, Stephen Hunt - Head of Planning and Development Management and Hazel Walsh - Planning Enforcement Team Leader.

The Sub-Committee were advised that the aim of the planning enforcement was to maintain the integrity of the planning system and the reputation of the Council. They also ensured that appropriate development was delivered by monitoring planning permissions and responding effectively to breaches of planning control. Enforcement was important to maintain public confidence in the planning system but enforcement action was discretionary. Local planning authorities should act proportionately when responding to suspected breaches of planning control. They should also consider publishing a local enforcement plan to manage enforcement proactively, in a way that was appropriate to their area.

The Council adopted its enforcement plan in October 2019. The plan was intended to promote understanding and show transparency of decision making. It sets out the processes involved in planning enforcement from receiving a complaint to issuing notices and the principles followed including fairness and openness, remedying harm, discretion and proportionality.

The Council had dealt with 1597 planning enforcement cases in 2020 with 51 cases proactively reviewed and 327 breach of condition cases investigated. Invoices of £7,285,191 had been raised relating to Section 106 cases and 15 enforcement notices served. 313 retrospective applications had been received which was 8 per cent of the total number of planning applications. Of those, 89 per cent were approved compared to 92 per cent of non-retrospective cases.

The Sub-Committee were shown examples of cases where planning enforcement action had been taken. Those included a house in Walkington which had built a two storey extension without planning permission and following the service of an enforcement notice was being reduce to a single storey. A flat in Hessle where an unauthorised balcony was required to be removed. A site developed for residential caravans where notices had been served due to the impact on open countryside and flood. A dilapidated property in Cowick subject to an untidy land notice. The owner of a public house in Long Riston was being prosecuted for demolishing property building in a Conservation Area without planning permission.

Whilst caravan parks were generally restricted to holiday use only and should not be used residentially, the Government had asked local planning authorities not to force people to leave during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Council were complying with that guidance but information was collated about any breaches of planning conditions where owners were residing on site, should action be necessary.

There had been recent changes to permitted development, from 31 August 2020, to allow for changes from offices, agricultural buildings and commercial and retail uses to dwellings. The demolition and rebuilding of “vacant and redundant” office and light industrial buildings into dwellings was also now permitted. Upward extension, by up to two storeys was allowed on existing homes and flats. Applicants no longer required planning permission but must obtain prior approval from the local authority before commencement of work. Any developments must meet nationally required space standards and concert halls, live music venues or theatres are not included. Those permitted development changes had extended the scope for new development without planning permission, but do not allow the planning authority the same level of control and would lead to a loss of infrastructure contributions. The positive aspects were that they could lead to an increase in the repurposing of disused buildings which could increase business rate contributions.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues:

60 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Env&RegSub\Minutes\27jan21.docx (af) Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

 E use class - effects of the new class E use class had not yet manifested themselves in changes to the high street due to the lockdown. There was a current government consultation on proposed permitted development rights to allow class E uses to change to residential use.  Publicity - it was suggested that the changes be publicised in Your East Riding magazine and on the website to raise awareness and reduce complaints.  Local plan - the local plan currently required 40 per cent of town centre units to be traditional retail units. The new permitted development changes under the Class E category could impact on those requirements. The national policy overrides local plans and was outside the Council’s control. It was hoped that the permitted development changes would have a positive impact on the vacancy rates of town centre units however the conversion of offices outside the town centre to shops could reverse any advantages.  Enforcement notices and court action - the Council had a range of options to ensure compliance. Prosecution could lead to a £20,000 fine in the Magistrates Court. The Council took direct action when appropriate, arranging for work to be undertaken and placing a charge on the land to recover the costs.  Planning conditions - 12,300 planning conditions had been placed on applications last year and 51 planning applications had been checked for compliance. Generally, planning conditions should only be applied to cases without which the application would be refused. Previously many applications had to be front loaded with specifics for materials and archaeological surveys but those were costly for developers especially when there was no guarantee that an application would be agreed. Those were now asked for after an application had been agreed by way of conditions so that the certain conditions were met at regular stages of the build.  Section 106 payments - where Section 106 agreements were in place, phased paying arrangements were often agreed. A monitoring officer was employed to ensure that payments were made and during Covid-19 informal flexible arrangements had been utilised.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee receive a further update as part of the 2021/22 work programme.

599 ADULT LEARNING SERVICES - The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration, presented by Sara Arnold - Group Manager and Jayne Wilcock - Curriculum and Data Manager.

Significant improvement work was undertaken following the September 2015 Ofsted inspection. At the last Ofsted inspection in June 2019 the Employment, Education and Skills provision was judged to be good (grade 2) in all areas. That was one of the last inspections that Ofsted conducted under the previous Common Inspection Framework, as such some of the lines of inquiry from the inspection followed the principles that went on to be defined under the Education Inspection Framework. Since the inspection the service had established a robust and timely system to collect and analyse what learners do after they have left learning. That was gathered at various points for up to a year after the learner had completed their learning. The information was used to inform service planning. Whilst collection of that data had continued through the challenges of working during the Covid-19 pandemic there had not been sufficient analysis of data undertaken, for that reason it will remain on the service Quality Improvement Plan for the remainder of the 2020/21 academic year.

In November 2019, the three teams of Employment, Education and Skills, Learning and Development and Organisational Development came together within the PER directorate, under

61 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Env&RegSub\Minutes\27jan21.docx (af) Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

Paul Bell, Head of Economic Development and Communications. On the 5 November 2019 the first phase of the restructure was completed with the appointment of Sara Arnold as Interim Group Manager of the newly created Learning, Skills and Organisation Development team. Phase 2 of the restructure would commence shortly, and consultation meetings would take place with those staff affected by proposed structure changes. From March 2020 to July 2020 the vast majority of staff in the new combined team were redeployed to support either the Covid-19 Emergency Response Hub or the Choose Care Campaign. Whilst the circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic had therefore resulted in some delays to the restructure, the team had continued to work together to review, update and improve provision and the following key achievements were reported

 The implementation of a new staff development course booking and management information system.  The procurement and implementation of a new learning management system for the delivery of e-learning opportunities to a wide audience including staff, residents and partners.  The review and updating of the corporate eInduction process and learning material.  The review and updating of all corporate mandatory training, including Data Protection, Records Management, ICT Security and Cyber Crime, Equality and Diversity and Environmental Awareness.  The review and updating of the corporate training offer pathways for Leadership and Management, Digital Skills, Health and Safety, Business Administration and Customer Service.  The roll out of Microsoft 365 for Education along with training for staff across the Council to enable them to remain responsive in the delivery of training, teaching and learning during the Covid-19 restrictions.  The implementation of an internal quality framework to support the commissioning and ongoing delivery of high-quality apprenticeship provision, which maximises the value gained from the apprenticeship levy funds.  Development and introduction of the ‘Learning Point’ a dedicated site on the intranet to ensure that all staff have a central place to access information regarding learning and development opportunities.

In October 2020 the service validated the 2019/20 academic year data and reported an overall achievement rate on qualification based (accredited) learning of 89.4 per cent. That should be noted as an excellent outcome given the direct impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which closed Adult Learning Centres from March 2020 to the end of the academic year in July 2020. The achievement rate in Maths, English and Functional digital skills remained very strong at 90.9 per cent for 2019/20 academic year which was slightly improved from 2018/19 at 90.7 per cent and above the National Benchmark of 85.1 per cent.

That success was achieved due to the coordinated and swift actions from across the team. Leaders and Managers acted quickly to enable alternative delivery methods to be utilised and staff and tutors were quick to adapt ways of working, teaching and assessing to best support learners. Virtual delivery was very quickly established, and learners were supported by a range of methods including zoom video conferencing, telephone and social media chat functions. Due to significant improvements in the recording of progress and achievement, the service was able to use evidence of learning gathered between September 2019 and March 2020, to successfully apply Calculated Assessment Grades, ensuring that no learner was disadvantaged by the exceptional circumstances faced.

62 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Env&RegSub\Minutes\27jan21.docx (af) Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

The most significantly affected qualification was the Supporting Teaching and Learning in school (Teaching Assistants) Level 2 certificate. Here achievement fell to 67.5 per cent in 2019/20 from 84 per cent in 2018/19 as a result of learners being unable to complete the practical elements of the qualifications due to their placements in schools coming to an early end. Community Learning (learning that did not lead to a qualification) achievement rates remained strong at 95.7 per cent and slightly above 2018/19 at 95.5per cent. In that area however, the closure of centres led to a decrease in learner numbers with 2558 learners completing learning programmes in 2019/20 when compared to 3037 in 2019/20. That had increased the cost per learner to £394 which was an increase from £343 in 2018/19. That rise was largely as a result of the need to operate for much of the year on reduced class sizes.

The Kickstart scooter loan scheme (wheels to work) remained a popular service with 28 scooters in the current fleet and talks were in progress to expand the fleet with the addition of more scooters being provided for the Goole area by the Goole Town Deal funding initiative. The scheme actively targeted those living in the most deprived areas of the East Riding and supported them to remove any physical barriers to getting to work and learning. 68 per cent of riders lived in the most deprived areas of the East Riding, the remaining 32 per cent live elsewhere within the East Riding of Yorkshire. 84 per cent of riders agreed that without access to the scooters they would not be able to work and 92 per cent said that they would recommend the scheme to others. In the past 3 years 106 residents had been supported with access to a scooter, with young people aged 18 to 25 years being the highest represented group of riders. With 47 per cent of riders being keyworkers, the service had worked with the current contracted supplier of bikes and maintenance, Miles Kingsport, throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to ensure that the scooter loan system remained fully operational and able to continue to support all riders to continue working.

Kickstart was a Government Covid-19 economic recovery initiative and provided participating employers with funding to create new job placements for 16 to 24 year olds on Universal Credit who were at risk of long-term unemployment. The aim of Kickstart was to offer young people the opportunity to gain valuable experience and skills in a workplace environment. The Council had been successful in being granted gateway employer status for Kickstart. That allows the Council to represent local employers who want to apply for a small number of placements. Currently the service was working with 28 local employers to offer a total of 135 placements and placements would start to become available over the coming months. The Council had also been successful in a bid for employer status and had been granted approval to deliver 50 internal council placements. The scheme would pay for 25 hours salary at national minimum wage and all national insurance and pension contributions. The value of both schemes combined was £350,000. It was essential that young people were registered for Universal Credit to access those schemes. Employers could offer additional hours at their own costs. Payments were made to the Council and then released when the Council was satisfied that requirements were being met. The funding also covered training. Staff at the job centre would refer clients through to appropriate roles, around 3 to 5 for each placement and the employer then chose the most suitable. The roles last for 6 months with the latest start date of December 2021, all ending in May 2022. Employers must provide additional employment support in employability sessions and that could be provided by the Council in one to one tuition or group employability sessions.

No Limits was a one-year programme funded by the Department for Work and Pensions flexible support fund. The programme commenced on 1 November 2020. The No Limits programme supported unemployed young people aged 16 to 24 with the aim of moving participants into employment, education/training or work experience. To date the programme had had over 50 referrals and the team were working with partners in order to engage with participants and develop a virtual delivery offer.

The adult learning service had faced significant challenges over the 2019/20 academic year.

63 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Env&RegSub\Minutes\27jan21.docx (af) Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

Additional costs had been incurred as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. For the 2019/20 academic year the Education and Skills Funding Agency committed to honour the service’s full contract value, no such commitment for 2020/21 had been announced. At the end of the first term of the current 2020/21 academic year, 11 per cent of the accredited contract value had been achieved; at the same point in 2019/20, 40 per cent of the accredited contract value had been achieved. The Education and Skills Funding Agency announced at the end of December 2020 that from 2021/22 they would be moving away from a grant funding system to a ‘competitive bid process’ for the Adult Education Budget. That would apply to all areas that had not moved to devolved authorities. Full details of the bid process, including whether it relates to the Adult Education Budget accredited portion or the community learning portion, or both was expected to be clarified shortly.

The Sub-Committee discussed the following issues:

 Online learning - the Covid-19 pandemic had forced courses online much quicker than would have happened but the advantages to some pupils were showing therefore online learning would continue on some courses moving forward. The pandemic had impacted on learner numbers as many had caring obligations with children home learning.

 New courses - step up to social work courses were being planned alongside courses to support adults to learn the skills needed for the new types of online or remote working jobs. Consideration was also being given to provide courses that would support the new green industries that were locating to the region.

 Competition - despite the potential for needing to bid for funding in the future, the adult learning service would continue to work collaboratively with other educational institutes such as East Riding College. All providers worked to complement each other’s strengths and services not to compete.

 Teaching assistant courses - the school placements for trainee teaching assistants had ended abruptly from the first lockdown in March 2020. Theory parts of the course had continued and a knowledge based teaching support qualification had also been launched. Current students on the teaching assistance course could continue with the knowledge based part of their qualification and would be assisted to get placements in schools when schools were allowed to reopen.

 Ofsted - the Sub-Committee were really pleased that the adult learning service had improved their Ofsted rating from RI to good and also the positives outcomes that had been achieved under the difficult circumstances and uncertainty of the pandemic.

 Finances - currently finances were uncertain as it was unclear whether the Council would have to bid for funding in 2021/22 or would again receive an automatic allocation. It was still unclear if the Education and Skills Funding Agency would honour the current contract as the Council had not been able to fulfil as much of their contract as last year due to the pandemic. There had been fewer students on courses who could pay so income had also reduced from that source. Many other courses that had moved online had also been made free of charge due to the pandemic. An internal issue regarding the payment levels for tutors had been resolved. Should devolution occur, any devolved authority would have to make their own decisions regarding funding adult learning services and funding would not be available from the Education and Skills Funding Agency.

64 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Env&RegSub\Minutes\27jan21.docx (af) Environment and Regeneration 27 January 2021

 Wheels to work - the wheels to work scheme had capacity to help the numbers needing scooters to access work and the fleet had been increased recently. The scheme was intended as a short term scheme to allow users to transition to their own transport. During the year there had been 12 thefts of scooters and whilst they were covered by insurance, it took several weeks to replace them and ultimately added to the cost of the scheme. In the past the scheme had operated an e-bike scheme and would consider doing so again in the future if there was any demand alongside the internal cycle to work scheme.

 50+ scheme - alongside the Kickstart Employment Support scheme, the service had tendered for funding for a 50+ scheme from the legacy European Social Fund. The scheme aimed to help residents aged 50 and above back into work and a decision would be made soon.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee commend the team for implementing new digital delivery methods;

(b) that the Sub-Committee congratulate the team on the 89.4 per cent achievement rate in 2019/20 for accredited learning and the success of the assessment grades determined by tutors, and

600 ENVIRONMENT AND REGENERATION OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE WORK PROGRAMME - There were no updates to the work programme.

601 FORWARD WORK PLAN - The Sub-Committee were asked to determine whether it wished to pre-scrutinise the Economic Strategy Mid-Term Review and the Energy and Carbon Reduction Management Strategy on the Forward Plan of Key Decisions for 20 April 2021.

Agreed - (a) That the Sub-Committee wish to consider the Economic Mid-Term Review at its meeting on 10 March 2021, and

(b) that the Sub-Committee wish to consider the Carbon and Energy Management Strategy at its meeting on 14 April 2021.

10772 PLANNING SUB-COMMITTEES - Resolved - That the minutes of the under- mentioned Sub-Committees be received:-

72 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\Planning\MINUTES\14jan21.docx (jmw) Planning 14 January 2021

(i) Eastern Area Planning of 23 November and 14 December 2020, and (ii) Western Area Planning of 24 November and 15 December 2020.

10773 LAND SOUTH OF PONTEFRACT ROAD, SNAITH - The Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a report on an outline application by Bellway Homes Limited for erection of residential development (up to 160 dwellings) and associated infrastructure including access, open space, landscaping and SUDS (access to be considered) at land south of Pontefract Road, Snaith (Application 19/03512/STOUT).

At the remote meeting the Director advised the Committee that the following representations and consultation responses had been received on the application following publication of the report:-

 Objections - Three additional objections had been received raising the following issues in terms of potential impact of the development:- it would lead to traffic congestion, Beast Fair mini roundabout was a pinch point, Snaith needed a bypass, the lack of car parking provision in Snaith, impact on drainage, the uncontrolled discharge from the canal, an updated flood risk model was required, the loss of arable land and the need for the country to be self-sufficient, loss of views, it would be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of local residents and result in the loss of community spirit and the proposed houses were not needed or wanted.  Andrew Percy MP - Letter of objection supporting local residents and commenting that the application was contrary to the local development plan as it involved development in the open countryside, with 40 dwellings outside allocation SNA-A. Also the development, along with nearby developments would have an adverse impact on the highway network and the major road network. The town suffered from congestion at peak times, especially at the roundabout at Pontefract Road/Selby Road. There was also concern about the potential impact on flooding and drainage given the events in 2020. There was concern about the ability of local infrastructure and services to cope with a large number of new residents. There should be infrastructure improvement before development. This application along with others had caused a great deal of concern for residents and that they had taken time to express their views on the application was a significant statement of public opinion about the proposal.  Applicant - The applicant had provided a comparative master plan showing the proposal in relation to the pending application for 120 dwellings (reference 20/03017/STOUT). The benefits of this proposal’s larger site area were:- increased areas of public open space, more recreation routes, increased areas for habitat creation, an enhanced SuDS system, a more substantial landscape buffer, additional tree and shrub planting, increased affordable housing delivery and safeguarded land for potential community use. Also submission of an accurate breakdown of site area sizes.  Planning Officer - Clarification of a couple of points in the Committee report. Paragraph 7.4 should state that the application would result in the loss of grade 3B agricultural land, not grade 2. The proposal would not result in the loss of Best Most Versatile (BMV) land. Condition 4 (approved plans), deletion of reference to the illustrative master plan from the list of approved plans. Correction of condition 15 to reference condition 14. Also confirmation that the Council could still demonstrate a five year supply of housing. The 2020 Housing Land Supply Position Statement indicated that the Authority had a five year supply of housing sites when assessed against two different methodologies. A review of that Statement had found that the Authority could not now demonstrate a five year supply against one of the methodologies, however, it could against the second. Therefore the Authority’s position remained that it could demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing

73 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Planning\MINUTES\14jan21.docx (jmw) Planning 14 January 2021

sites across the Authority area. A large proportion of the site was located outside the development limit. Planning legislation required development to be in accordance with development plan policy unless material considerations indicated otherwise. In this case, officers were satisfied that there were significant site specific material considerations which weighed in favour of the scheme. The proposal would result in the effective delivery of an allocated site but in a better way than was possible when the plan was published. Having a new access form Pontefract Road would mean that there would be little disruption to existing residents in Punton Walk and that the existing playing field car park would remain unaffected. By allowing a limited number of dwellings to be provided along the access road the development would integrate with the surrounding development and would be a better design solution than if accessed by a long estate road across the field. Officers were satisfied that these were site specific benefits that related to this development and not generic to the other site. Reference had been made to the scheme for 120 houses on this site. That scheme, would result in a long residential access road being provided across the open field from Pontefract Road to meet the housing development. This would result in a less successful scheme in urban design terms than this proposal.

An objector, the applicant’s agent and Councillor Sargeantson spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - (a) That the application be deferred for confirmation from Highways England that it no longer objects to the proposal, and

(b) that subject to (a) above the Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration be authorised to approve the application subject to the conditions set out in the Director’s report and amendments detailed above, as well as the inclusion of an informative requiring the provision of bungalows on-site.

10774 LAND TO THE WEST OF HM PRISON FULL SUTTON, MOOR LANE, FULL SUTTON - The Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a report on an application by the Ministry of Justice for excavation of ditch course at land to the west of HM Prison Full Sutton, Moor Lane, Full Sutton (Application 20/03340/STPLF).

At the remote meeting the Director advised the Committee that the following representations and consultation responses had been received on the application following publication of the report:-

 Catton Parish Council - Support the objection submitted by Full Sutton and Skirpenbeck Parish Council. Concerns regarding the proposed use of tankers in relation to sewage as a viable solution, also there had been a lack of public consultation.  Objection - The information on the levels of the existing culvert under Moor Lane was not consistent and should be verified as if the levels on the drawing were correct the proposed channel would be a stagnant pond. Correct levels should be on the drawing and flow capacity calculations included. In the 2018 Flood Risk Assessment, surface water would be discharged via infiltration subject to infiltration testing. The boreholes confirmed a high water table whilst the additional run-off volume had to be accommodated on site so as not to cause worse flooding problems downstream. Existing surface water flooding was a significant problem as shown by standing water in the adjacent fields. The capacity of the existing prison run-off attenuation pond should be calculated rather than dismissed as an unknown and current calculation standards applied to accommodate the increased run-off from the new and existing

74 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Planning\MINUTES\14jan21.docx (jmw) Planning 14 January 2021

prison. Flooding matters were a material planning consideration and consent for proposed works should be withheld until the correct information was provided.  Applicant’s agent - Further information regarding drainage details and that the proposal was not considered to have an impact on proposed landscaping space. There was confidence in the integrity of the flood risk mitigation measures as water levels would be controlled and levels in the ditch would not increase significantly. Also it would be possible to store a greater volume of water. In terms of consultation, there had been an October 2020 newsletter update and this would be issued quarterly and there would also be monthly catch ups with ward and parish councillors and nominated members of the community. It was intended that the proposed ditch would provide a new habitat for recolonised voles.

An objector, the applicant’s agent and Councillors Hammond and Stathers spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - That the application be deferred for the undertaking of wider information sharing and consultation with the public and then be resubmitted to the Committee for determination.

10775 LAND NORTH OF LELLEY ROAD, PRESTON - The Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a report on an application by East Riding of Yorkshire Council for erection of crematorium and wake/function suite with associated access, exit, parking and landscaping including memorial gardens at land north of Lelley Road, Preston (Application 20/03564/STPLF).

At the remote meeting the Director advised the Committee that the following representations and consultation responses had been received on the application following publication of the report:-

 Support - Communication of support however the concerns of the community were understood.  Crematoria operator - Objection concerning development viability which was not addressed in the officer’s report. There was no financial viability assessment or financial details relating to costs and its proposed location could impact on the facility at Chanterlands. The population in the rural area to the east of Hull was insufficient to support the development of this proposal and therefore it would appear that it would place the two units in competition and thus the application was overdevelopment. The current facilities at Chanterlands had coped during the pandemic and therefore there was no shortfall in capacity. A new facility would result in the sharing of cremations between the two facilities and lead to additional costs having to be met from existing demand.  Public Protection - Additional condition required so that the application was undertaken in accordance with the mitigation measures outlined in the air quality assessment.  Highways - The applicant had confirmed that there would be an independent road safety audit, the funding of a package of traffic and safety enhancements, assessment of speed limits and a review of traffic routes for construction, staff, funerals and others.  Planning Officer - An objection had been received from another crematoria operator however this was not considered to be a material planning consideration for determining the application.

An objector, the applicant and Councillor Dennis spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - That the application be deferred for the undertaking of the independent road safety audit and then be resubmitted to the Committee for determination.

The application would need to be referred to the Secretary of State if the Committee was minded to approve it, due to the potential for it to deliver above 5000sqm of main town centre uses. Further details on the levels of the proposed spine road had been submitted to the Environment Agency and comments were awaited. Confirmation from the Authority’s Flood Risk Management Team that feasibility studies for the Hull and Holderness Flood Alleviation Scheme showed no linkages with the site so it would not be possible for the two schemes to be linked. The information submitted with the application demonstrated in principle that the site would be capable of storing the requisite amount of storage, so this did not affect the assessment of the application. Further meetings had taken place between Highways and Highways England. Work was required to agree the exact trigger points for the conditions requiring off-site highways improvements and potential review measures. The Transport Assessment submitted with the application acknowledged the rural nature of Paull Road and anticipated that improvements would be required. Detail discussions were ongoing. An update had been received from Natural England stating that agreement had largely been reached regarding mitigation for impacts on the Humber Estuary. As a number of outstanding issues had yet to be resolved it was proposed that the report recommendation be amended so that the application be deferred for the resolution of outstanding issues and then resubmitted to the Committee for determination.

An objector, the applicant and Councillor Dennis spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - (a) That the application be deferred for the resolution of outstanding issues as well as the undertaking of wider public consultation, and

(b) that subject to (a) above the application be resubmitted to the Committee for determination.

10793 LAND WEST OF ROXANA, MAIN STREET, REEDNESS - The Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a report on an application by Mr Jason Walton for erection of a dwelling with associated vehicle access and parking (revised scheme for planning application 20/00561/PLF) at land west of Roxana, Main Street, Reedness (Application 20/02600/PLF).

The application had been referred to the Committee following the resolution to approve it by the Western Area Planning Sub-Committee on 3 November 2020 as it was a significant departure from the current development plan.

At the remote meeting the Director advised the Committee that the following consultation response had been received on the application following publication of the report:-

 Planning Officer - Proposed amendment of condition 1 requiring that the proposal should be commenced before the expiration of one year from the date of the permission instead of three years as detailed in the report.

The applicant’s agent and Councillor Abraham spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - That the application be approved subject to the amendment of condition 1 to require the development to be commenced before the expiration of six months from the date of the permission and the conditions set out in the Director’s report.

10795 TRANSWASTE RECYCLING AND AGGREGATES LIMITED, GIBSON LANE SOUTH, MELTON - The Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a report on an application by Humber Properties Ltd for erection of an extension to existing waste storage building at Transwaste Recycling and Aggregates Limited, Gibson Lane South, Melton (Application 20/03491/CM).

At the remote meeting the Director advised the Committee that the following consultation response had been received on the application following publication of the report:-

85 CR\Democratic\Planning\MINUTES\4feb21.docx (jmw) Planning 4 February 2021

The applicant and Councillor Abraham spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - (a) That the application be deferred for further consultation with the applicant for clarification of the submitted plans, and

(b) that subject to (a) above the application be resubmitted to the Committee for determination.

10796 TRANSWASTE RECYCLING AND AGGREGATES LIMITED, GIBSON LANE SOUTH, MELTON - The Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration submitted a report on an application by Biowood Services Ltd for erection of an extension to wood burning plant room at Transwaste Recycling and Aggregates Limited, Gibson Lane South, Melton (Application 20/03493/CM).

At the remote meeting the Director advised the Committee that the following consultation response had been received on the application following publication of the report:-

The applicant and Councillor Abraham spoke on the application in accordance with the agreed protocols.

Resolved - That the application be approved subject to the amendment of condition 1 to require the development to be commenced before the expiration of one year from the date of the permission and the conditions set out in the Director’s report.

10797 DRAFT FLOOD RISK SEQUENTIAL AND EXCEPTION TEST SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT - The supplementary planning document had been published for a period of public consultation. It provided a step by step guide for applicants, planning officers and developers on how the NNPF sequential and exception tests for flood risks would be applied when preparing and determining planning applications. It also supplemented the East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document Policy ENV6: Managing Environmental Hazards.

Responses would be taken into account when giving consideration to revising and finalising the document. Following this exercise the draft document would be reported to The Cabinet and once adopted would be a material consideration in planning decisions but would not form part of the statutory development plan.

Resolved - (a) That the report be noted, and

(b) that members of the Committee respond independently to the Director of Planning and Economic Regeneration by Friday, 5 March 2021.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

22 JANUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Lee (Chairman), Beaumont, Davison, Dennis, Gateshill, D Jeffreys, Temple and Wilkinson.

Also in attendance: Darren Stevens (Director of Corporate Resources), John Skidmore (Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services), Julian Neilson (Head of Finance), Benita Boyes (SWAP Internal Audit Partnership), Hayley Featherstone (Senior Accountant), Simon Lowe (Strategic Service Manager (Corporate Strategy, Policy, Performance and Risk Management), Jennifer Czapla (Principal Risk Management Officer), and Mark Kirkham, Cath Andrew and Sharon Liddle - Mazars.

Also in attendance: Press - 0 Public - 0

The Committee met by remote meeting.

651 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS - Councillor Temple declared a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 653 insofar as she was a member of the Pension Fund. Councillor Dennis declared a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 653 insofar as he was a member of the Pension Fund and a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 657 as he had previously sold properties to East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Councillors Lee, Wilkinson, Beaumont and D Jeffreys declared a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 653 insofar as they were members of the Pensions Committee. Councillor Wilkinson also declared a non-pecuniary interest in Minute 657 as he had been present at the meeting of Spaldington Parish Council when it had discussed taking out a fixed perm loan with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

652 MINUTES - Resolved - That the minutes of the meeting held on 23 October 2020 be approved and signed as a correct record.

653 EXTERNAL ANNUAL AUDIT LETTER - YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2020 - MAZARS - Mark Kirkham of Mazars reported on the work undertaken as the external auditor for East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the East Riding Pension Fund for the year ended 31 March 2020. The work in the Annual Audit Letter summarised the work undertaken for the year ended 31 March 2020. The responsibilities were defined by the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and the Code of Audit Practice issued by the National Audit Office. The letter provided information on those responsibilities, the work done by Mazars to discharge them and the key findings arising from the work including a positive value for money conclusion. The report set out the proposed fees for the delivery of work by Mazars in the Audit Strategy Memorandum, the financial outlook and operational challenges for the Council in dealing with the pandemic. The increase of fees was as a result of the additional procedures which had to be carried out in response to recommendations made by the Financial Reporting Council, the external auditor’s regulator. The Financial Reporting Council regularly reviewed, inspected and issued findings and recommendations to external audit suppliers. This had included the extent, nature and depth and rigour of challenge that external audit suppliers posed to local authority valuers. This applied to property investment valuations within the Council and investment valuations in pension investment accounts. A significant portion of the East Riding Pension Funds’ assets were of a level 3 nature which had meant that their valuation had been relatively hard to reach. A 31 March valuation could not be obtained by looking at a price at 31 March and there had been a

87 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Audit\Minutes\22jan21.docx (tt/km) Audit 22 January 2021

need to interrogate and understand the arrangements of pension fund management over the valuation. This had involved a significant degree of challenge and the need to respond to the regulator had resulted in Mazars enhancing its challenge with additional procedures.

Resolved - That the report be noted.

654 REVIEW OF EXTERNAL AUDIT RECOMMENDATIONS - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report which set out recommendations made by the external auditor to the Council where it considered improvements should be made to systems and procedures. The implementation of the external auditor’s recommendations was an important part of the Council’s governance processes and ensured maximum value was obtained from the auditor’s work.

During the period 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, Mazars had issued the following five reports:-

• Audit Strategy Memorandum 2019-20 (issued January 2020)

• Audit progress report 2019-20 (issued March 2020)

• Independent auditor’s report to the members of East Riding of Yorkshire Council (included within the Council’s Statement of Accounts) (issued October 2020)

• Independent auditor’s report to the members of East Riding of Yorkshire Council on the Pension Fund Financial Statements (included within East Riding Pension Fund Annual Report and Accounts) (issued October 2020)

• Annual Audit Letter 2020-21 (issued December 2020)

No recommendations were made in the external audit reports issued during the period 1 January to 31 December 2020.

Resolved - That the assurance provided by the report be noted.

655 INTERNAL AUDIT PROGRESS REPORT AND UPDATE ON AUDIT PLANNING QUARTER 3 - 2020-21 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report which set out an update on progress made in delivering the Internal Audit Plan for 2020-21.

The report summarised the activity of the SWAP Internal Audit Team as at Quarter 3 of the 2020-21 year against the Internal Audit Plan approved on 5 May 2020 and updated on 24 July 2020. It presented further plan revisions to reflect the risk environment and the coverage required to support the delivery of the annual opinion including the follow up of previous audit recommendations. The report referenced a mapping exercise to aid reflection on other assurance sources and also highlighted elements of added value outcomes, including cross comparison exercises and agile audit techniques. Whilst further changes to some planned activities might be required in the coming weeks, appropriate audit coverage of key areas was expected to be achieved for the 2020-21 financial year. The environment had been very challenging and the Internal Audit service had flexed its approach. Additional resources had been committed to look at payments of Covid grants and pre-payment assurance processes had been put in place. The committee was given assurance that although the report set out a number of areas that needed to be deferred, work had progressed well. The pandemic had reduced the ability in the final quarter to access some areas on the front line but did not compromise the ability to give an opinion.

88 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Audit\Minutes\22jan21.docx (tt/km) Audit 22 January 2021

Resolved - That the assurance provided by the report be noted.

656 STRATEGIC RISK REGISTER REVIEW QUARTER 2 - 2020 - 21 - The Director of Adults, Health and Customer Services submitted a report on the Strategic Risk Register Review. Risk management formed a key part of the Council’s assurance framework which supported the Annual Governance Statement. The strategic risk register had been reviewed for the quarter ending 30 September 2020. Risk owners had provided assurance that controls continued to operate effectively and had provided an update in relation to each risk for the quarter.

For the latest reporting quarter no new strategic risk areas had been identified during this latest review, however, additional controls had been implemented and adapted to reflect a change in the nature of the risk specifically, for example, the extensive impact of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, associated restrictions and EU exit.

The second wave of Covid-19 had presented both sustained and new challenges for all Council services. Specifically, the rapid rise in Covid-19 infection rates in November and the introduction of the Track and Trace system had resulted in increased pressure on the workforce, through both the absence of staff across all areas and that of pupils in schools across the East Riding. The impacts had been particularly acute in adults and children’s services, with ongoing challenges to business continuity across the remainder of both Council services and independent providers of care services. The maintenance of critical services would, accordingly, be a key activity across the Council, with oversight and planning through the Senior Management and Corporate Management Teams, with risk based mechanisms used, where appropriate in deciding how to prioritise service delivery.

Action had also been taken across the Council to help ensure that its buildings were Covid- secure, for both staff and members of the public who needed to use those facilities during the pandemic period.

It was also reported that the East Riding had been identified as a location for the roll out of rapid (lateral flow) Covid-19 testing which it was hoped would contribute to a reduction in the rate of infection locally. This process, when coupled with the resource likely to be required to support the rollout of a mass vaccination programme and, potentially, the localisation of the Track and Trace function, would put further pressure on the already limited capacity and resource available from within the Public Health Team however, this was managed with resources from across the Council. Against this background, and for the immediate future, all risk owners would continue to assess each strategic risk on a regular basis.

The Risk Management Team had completed a risk management system market research exercise. A thorough assessment of a wide range of systems had been conducted and reviewed against a requirement specification, with two systems identified as suitable and trialled in a user acceptance testing phase. One system had now been selected as a preferred software and was undergoing a final assessment with both the IT and Legal teams.

The Committee discussed the current risk to the High Street due to the current pandemic and extra support for schools to help all children when schools returned, including those children who were gifted. Further discussion concerned the risk to passengers when car sharing and travelling in licensed vehicles. The Director of Adult, Health and Customer Services agreed to request a briefing paper in relation to these matters.

Resolved - That the updates to the Strategic Risk Register be noted.

89 DDPC\CR\Democratic\Audit\Minutes\22jan21.docx (tt/km) Audit 22 January 2021

657 TREASURY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY - APRIL TO DECEMBER 2020 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report which informed the Committee that all transactions had been undertaken in compliance with the Treasury Management Policy limits during the period 1 April to 31 December 2020, with the exception of an overnight breach of the £10m specified investment counterparty limit with NatWest during the Christmas break, details of which were submitted.

Restrictions on investments remained in place in order to meet the prime objective of capital security. Most banks within the Eurozone remained suspended from the counterparty list.

The proactive approach to risk monitoring had continued and the Operational Treasury Management Board (OTMB) continued to meet on a bi-monthly basis to consider risk and determine whether current restrictions to the Treasury Management Policy remained consistent with the Council’s objective of capital security. The Treasury Management arrangements had been reviewed by the OTMB and was satisfied that the Council’s cash flow and investment requirements could be met regardless of the exact nature of the UK’s trade relationship after leaving the EU.

The Covid-19 pandemic along with the UK’s exit from the EU had triggered a prolonged period of economic uncertainty and the low rate environment was likely to continue in the medium term. The BoE rate was projected to remain close to the current level of 0.10%.

Resolved - That the assurance provided by the report be noted.

658 TREASURY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 2021-22 - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report which set out the Council’s proposed Treasury Management Strategy for 2021-22. Treasury management was the management of the Council’s cash flows, its banking, money market and capital market transactions; the effective control of the risks associated with those activities and the pursuit of optimum performance consistent with those risks.

The Strategy was drawn from the Council’s Treasury Management Policy Statement and covered investments, borrowing, the outlook for interest rates, the management of associated risks and the policy to be adopted on Minimum Revenue Provision.

The Treasury Management Policy comprised the principles and practices to which the activity would comply. Alongside this policy, the Council must have regard to Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government guidance, under section 15(1)(a) of the Local Government Act 2003. The guidance provided for each authority to determine its own controls within a given framework.

The Council’s Treasury Management Policy was prepared in accordance with the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy Code of Practice on Treasury Management in the Public Services.

The report would be considered by The Cabinet on 2 February 2021.

Resolved - (a) That the Treasury Management Strategy for 2021-22 be noted, and (b) that the Strategy be recommended to The Council for approval on 11 February 2021.

455 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON PECUNIARY INTERESTS - There were no declarations.

456 MINUTES - Agreed - That the minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 17 December 2020 be approved as a correct record.

457 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EAST RIDING SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN PARTNERSHIP (ERSCP) 2019/20 - The Board received a report of the Director of Children, Families and Schools, presented by Margaret Wood - ERSCP Manager and Kay Durrant - ERSCP Independent Scrutineer.

The East Riding of Yorkshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (ERSCP) Annual Report for 2019/20 provided evidence of the impact of the work of the key safeguarding partners and relevant agencies. As a local child safeguarding partnership, its primary responsibility was to bring together agencies in the East Riding to help keep children, young people and their families’ safe, in line with section 14(1) of the Children Act 2004, the Children and Social Work Act 2017 and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018. Partnership activity was overseen by Kay Durrant, the independent scrutineer who had provided an independent perspective on the work of the Partnership within the annual report. Partnership activity had also been considered in line with the strategic priorities for the period and a revised ERSCP Strategic Plan developed to direct the Partnership’s focus for the period April 2020 to 2025.

The new Partnership Strategic Intent and Priorities for 2020 to 2025 were:

1. Leadership, Governance and Assurance 2. Child Abuse (including Sexual Harm, Violence towards Children and Exploitation) 3. Neglect and Hidden Harm (Emotional Harm, Domestic Violence and Abuse, Parental Mental Health and Substance Misuse) 4. Early Help, Pathways, Thresholds and Assessments

The section 11 and Annual Assurance Conversation provided good evidence of effective safeguarding arrangements and commitment across the Partnership. Opportunities to develop lessons learnt from independent scrutiny and multi-agency audit continued despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Effective multi-agency working and risk assessments were put in place to respond to the challenges faced and to ensure that children continued to be effectively safeguarded throughout the pandemic. Changes to practice due to Covid-19 had been, and would continue to be, reviewed and scrutinised by the ERSCP. The revised ERSCP strategic priorities for 2020 to 2025 reflected the aspirations to strengthen multi-agency partnership working and safeguarding response for children, young people and families.

Agreed - (a) That the Annual Report of the East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership 2019/20 be received;

(b) that the Board supports the new Partnership Strategic Intent and Priorities for 2020 to 2025, and

(c) that the Partnership continues to maintain a strong relationship with the Children’s Trust Board, the Health and Wellbeing Board and work alongside the East Riding Adult Safeguarding Board and the Community Safety Partnership to address common issues and opportunities for collaboration in response to the four priorities.

EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL

LICENSING ACT 2003 SUB-COMMITTEE

2 FEBRUARY 2021

PRESENT: Councillors Dennis (Chairman), Jump and Sykes.

Also in attendance: Public - 4

The Sub-Committee met by remote meeting.

754 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS - There were no declarations of interest.

755 MINUTES - Resolved - That the minutes of the meetings held on 21 and 22 December 2020 be confirmed and signed as a correct record.

APPLICATION UNDER SECTION 34 OF THE LICENSING ACT 2003

756 Monks Walk Inn, 19 Highgate, Beverley - The following were present for this item:-

Applicant - Mrs G Pickford

Relevant Persons - Mr J Officer - Mrs S Officer - Mr M Kelly

Responsible Authorities - None

All parties advised that they wished to reserve the right to ask questions of each other, that there were no witnesses to call and that they were content with the time limits.

The Senior Licensing Officer advised that additional representations had been received following publication of the agenda from objectors including sound and video recordings which had been circulated.

On 4 December 2020 an application had been made by Mrs G Pickford on behalf of Monks Walk Inn Limited for a variation of a premises licence for Monks Walk, 19 Highgate, Beverley, under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003. The application was seeking to amend the existing plan of the licensed premises to extend the licensable area to include the first floor of the premises, to change the position of the bar counter in the main bar on the ground floor and to add licensing conditions to the current licence. The current licence permitted the following licensable activities:-

 Sale of alcohol - Monday to Saturday 11:00 to 23:00 hours and Sunday 12:00 to 22:30 hours (both on and off the premises).

The applicant had applied to add a number of conditions to the existing premises licence in order to promote the four licensing objectives. Consideration would need to be given to whether

B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\LICENS_ACT_2003\Minutes\2feb21.docxx (jmw) 96 Licensing Act 2003 Sub 2 February 2021 the conditions offered were necessary and enforceable within the operating schedule, or whether they were statements or duplication of existing legislation.

The existing premises plan showed that the outdoor areas, including the beer garden and car park, were included in the licensable area. The premises was therefore permitted to allow live/recorded music (both amplified and unamplified) and/or the performance of a play/dance, anywhere within this area between 08:00 and 23:00 hours each day in line with the Deregulation Act 2015 and Live Music Act 2012. The licensable area did not currently include the first floor of the premises. The current licence holder had submitted a total of 22 temporary event notices since 2016 that related to licensable activities taking place on the first floor of the premises. The Licensing Authority had not received any complaints relating to any of these events however, it had received one complaint relating to noise which was made by a local councillor on 14 September 2020 on behalf of a resident living close to the premises. The Authority’s Environmental Control Team had received seven noise related complaints between 14 August 2018 and 11 September 2020 from other residents living close to the premises. These had been raised with the premises and none of the complaints had led to formal action. Six of those complaints related to live music taking place in the outside areas of the premises and one related to live music being played inside the premises.

The Deregulation Act 2015 and Live Music Act 2012 stated that licensed premises did not require a licence for a performance of unamplified live music between 08:00 and 23:00 hours on any day, on any premises; a performance of amplified live music between 08:00 and 23:00 hours on any day on premises authorised to sell alcohol for consumption on those premises, provided that the audience did not exceed 500; a performance of amplified live music between 08:00 and 23:00 hours on any day, in a workplace that was not licensed to sell alcohol on those premises, provided that the audience did not exceed 500 and for recorded music, that no licence permission was required for any playing of recorded music between 08:00 and 23:00 hours on any day on premises authorised to sell alcohol for consumption on those premises, provided that the audience did not exceed 500.

The Licensing Authority was satisfied that the application had been advertised in line with the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003 at the premises, in a local newspaper and on the Authority’s website. Nine relevant representations had been received from relevant persons residing in the locality of the premises. Five of the representations raised concerns over the proposed variation in relation to the licensing objectives of the prevention of public nuisance and public safety. Representations also referred to alterations made to the upstairs area and their compliance with building regulations, the structural safety of the building following alterations upstairs and also the fire risk posed by licensing the upstairs area. It was reported that a retrospective planning application had been approved by the Authority which included installation of a replacement staircase. There had been no representations from a responsible authority about the suitability of the upstairs area for public use and the Fire and Rescue Authority had also made no comment. No representations had been received from any responsible authority. The Sub-Committee had read the following documentation:-

(a) The report of the Director of Communities and Environment. (b) The application under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003 for the premises known as Monks Walk, 19 Highgate, Beverley. (c) Five communications of representation objecting to the application. (d) Four communications of representation supporting the application. (e) Sound and video recordings from objectors circulated 26 January 2021. (f) Additional correspondence from an objector circulated 26 January 2021. (g) Additional correspondence from an objector circulated 1 February 2021.

Following the introduction by the Senior Licensing Officer, attendees were given the opportunity to make their statements. Following the submission by the applicant she indicated that

97 CR\Democratic\LICENS_ACT_2003\Minutes\2feb21.docx (jmw) Licensing Act 2003 Sub 2 February 2021 she had not received copies of the additional correspondence or the video and sound recordings that had been referred to at the Sub-Committee. Accordingly the applicant was offered the opportunity to adjourn the meeting so that the documentation could be forwarded to her so that she could consider the additional submissions. She indicated that she would like to adjourn briefly to view the extra information.

The Sub-Committee adjourned for 20 minutes.

The Sub-Committee reconvened and the applicant indicated she was content to continue.

(a) The applicant made her revised opening statement. (b) The relevant persons had no questions for the applicant. (c) Members of the Sub-Committee had no questions for the applicant. (d) The objecting relevant persons made their opening statements. (e) The applicant had no questions for the objecting relevant persons. (f) The members of the Sub-Committee asked questions of the objecting relevant persons. (g) The supporting relevant person made their opening statement. (h) The applicant had no questions for the supporting relevant person. (i) The objecting relevant persons asked questions of the supporting relevant person. (j) Members of the Sub-Committee had no questions for the supporting relevant person. (k) The objecting relevant persons gave a summing up. (l) The supporting relevant person gave a summing up. (m) The applicant gave a summing up.

The Licensing Manager advised the Sub-Committee about the scope of the application which was for the sale of alcohol in the upstairs room, thereby extending the sales area. If the Sub- Committee was to approve the application this would allow the playing of music in that area. This would be an unregulated activity for the period 08:00 to 23:00 hours. She also referred to the conditions offered by the applicant and proposed amendments to that offer in the event that the Sub-Committee was minded to approve the application. These amendments would mean that the conditions were enforceable, removed statements of intent and avoided duplication of existing legislation. The applicant confirmed that the proposed amendments were acceptable.

The legal advisor to the Sub-Committee referred councillors to the licensing objectives as well as the relevant guidance, details of which were set out in the Director’s report as well as the roles of the planning and licensing regimes. Additionally she reported that under the Licensing Act 2003 responsible authorities such as the Fire and Rescue Services were automatically notified of licensing applications and it was the responsibility of those organisations to make representations if appropriate. She also reiterated the implications of the Live Music Act 2012 and Deregulation Act 2015 in terms of the licensing of the performance of music on licensed premises. Each application had to be considered on a case by case basis and on their own merits, taking into account all the representations received. Any decision of the Sub-Committee should be evidence based and justified and proportionate to what it was intended to achieve. She also stated that any proposed conditions should focus on the most sensitive issues and again be proportionate to what the Sub-Committee was attempting to achieve.

The Sub-Committee adjourned to commence its deliberations.

The Sub-Committee considered the Licensing Act 2003, relevant paragraphs in the statutory guidance and the licensing objectives contained in the Authority’s Statement of Licensing Policy, details of which were set out in the Director’s report. The Sub-Committee considered the two licensing objectives and whether there were any steps that were appropriate or proportionate to

98 CR\Democratic\LICENS_ACT_2003\Minutes\2feb21.docx (jmw) Licensing Act 2003 Sub 2 February 2021 support the promotion of these objectives. In making its decision the Sub-Committee gave consideration to the submissions made by all parties, however, on the basis of the evidence available felt that refusal of the application would not be appropriate or proportionate in the circumstances. In reaching this view the Sub-Committee had taken the following factors into account:-

 In the event that there were concerns about the operation of the venue and it giving rise to public nuisance, there was a review process that residents could utilise.  The proposed venue was located in an area that already included a number of other late night establishments and therefore was not introducing an alien element into the neighbourhood.  Since 2016 the applicant had submitted 22 temporary event notices that related to licensable activity at the first floor of the venue and the Licensing Authority had not received any complaints relating to these events.  There were no objections from any of the responsible authorities.  The performing of unamplified live music was not a licensable activity between 08:00 to 23:00 hours on any day on any premises.  The performance or playing of recorded or amplified live music between 08:00 to 23:00 hours was not a licensable activity on premises authorised to sell alcohol for consumption on those premises provided that the audience did not exceed 500.  Matters appertaining to planning issues such as car parking did not fall within the licensing regime.  The venue was considered to provide an additional attraction to the night time economy offer.  A number of the noise nuisance complaints that had been submitted to Environmental Control did not relate to events held in the upstairs venue which was the subject of the application but to events held in an external area which was already licensed.  The Sub-Committee was encouraged that the applicant had indicated a willingness to liaise with neighbours regarding any issues that may arise in the spirit of good neighbourliness.

Following the Sub-Committee’s deliberations the applicant and relevant persons were invited back into the remote meeting.

Resolved - That the application be approved as applied for subject to an additional condition that any CCTV recording shall be retained and stored for a minimum of 14 days and shall be made available to the police and Licensing Authority on request, as well as the conditions offered by the applicant as amended by the Licensing Manager and detailed below:-

 General - all four licensing objectives (b,c,d,e)

 The prevention of crime and disorder

The remote meeting took place via video conference (Zoom) and was streamed live to the Council’s Committee Meetings YouTube channel.

1450 DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY AND NON-PECUNIARY INTERESTS - Councillor Evison, Councillor Whittle and Robin Weightman declared an interest in minutes 1452 and 1453 as they were members of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

1451 MINUTES - Resolved - That the minutes of the Pensions Committee meetings held on 11 December 2020 be approved as a correct record.

1452 PENSION FUND RISK REGISTER - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report, which presented the six monthly review of the Pension Fund’s risk register. No new strategic risk areas had been identified during this latest review. The risk scores had also been considered as part of the review to ensure that they reflected the current position of each risk. From August 2020 to January 2021 a total of three risks had reduced in score. A history of the residual risk total score was provided as a summary at Appendix 1 of the report.

The risk register had been updated with news/issues since the previous review, which was provided at Appendix 2 of the report. The key issues were summarised within the report and key points highlighted to members of the Committee. The controls in place to mitigate risk had also been considered as part of the review and for each risk area updates had been made.

The report also detailed any breaches of the law which require reporting to the Pensions Regulator. There were no new breaches to report since the last review on 31 July 2020.

Members raised a number of questions, which officers responded to.

The Committee paid tribute to the Pensions team for continuing to maintain effectiveness during this difficult year.

Resolved - That updates to the Pension Fund risk register be noted.

101 B:\DDPC\CR\Democratic\PENSIONS\MINUTES\5Feb21.docx (er) Pensions 5 February 2021

The main themes were the LGPS response to the Covid-19 pandemic and regulatory change, with an emphasis on McCloud and the Exit Payment cap. A summary of the key points by Hymans Robertson was attached as Appendix 1 of the report.

Resolved - That the report be noted.

1454 RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT POLICY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND VOTING GUIDELINES - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report, which reminded the Committee that responsible investing was defined as the practice of incorporating environmental, social and governance issues (ESG) into the investment decision making process, and practicing effective investment stewardship to better manage risks and generate sustainable long-term returns. Financial and ESG analysis together identify broader risks leading to better informed investment decisions and are expected to improve risk adjusted returns.

Border to Coast Pensions Partnership Limited (Border to Coast) had a Responsible Investment Policy (RI) and Corporate Governance and Voting Guidelines document, which was subject to annual reviews in light of evolving best practice. This review process was undertaken with the eleven partner funds, including East Riding Pension Fund. These documents were adopted by the East Riding Pension.

The RI Policy (Appendix A of the report) had had a number of changes to reflect evolving best practice; this, however, had not changed the underlying principles. Key changes include recognising Border to Coast as a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and strengthening the Policy in relation to the approach to climate change risk.

The Corporate Governance and Voting Guidelines (Appendix B of the report) had been similarly updated, primarily to reflect developing best practice on a range of ESG issues.

Members raised a number of questions which officers responded to.

Resolved - That the application of the Responsible Investment Policy at Appendix A of the report and Corporate Governance and Voting Guidelines at Appendix B of the report to the investments of East Riding Pension Fund be approved.

1455 EXCLUSION OF THE PRESS AND PUBLIC - Resolved - That the press and public be excluded from the meeting for consideration of the following items (minutes 1455 to 1460) on the grounds that it is likely to involve disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. In making this decision the Committee confirmed having regard to all the circumstances it was satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

1456 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND VOTING ACTIVITY - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report, which informed the Committee of the voting record of the internal and external investment managers for the quarter ended 31 December 2020.

Schroders Investment Management had provided the voting record for its discretionary equity portfolios for the quarter ended 31 December 2020.

Resolved - That the report be noted.

1458 UPDATE ON BORDER TO COAST PENSIONS PARTNERSHIP - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report which provided an update on the progress of reclaiming UK and overseas withholding tax on investment income received by the Pension Fund.

Resolved - That the report be noted.

1459 REVIEW OF THE PORTFOLIO AS AT THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 -

(a) Independent Advisor - Mr Rohan Worrall submitted his comments on the East Riding Pension Fund’s performance within the fourth quarter. The pandemic had continued to impact economic growth during the fourth quarter, with new restrictions being imposed in many US states and European countries. Vaccine rollouts had commenced so, whilst some indicators were showing renewed economic weakness, the markets were looking at continued government and central bank support, which was leading to higher equity prices and rising 10 year bond yields.

(b) Externally Managed Fund - Ms Olivia Docker presented a report to the Committee on the portfolio of investments managed by Schroder Investment Management Limited. It was reported that the impact of Covid-19 had been a dominant theme throughout Quarter four. A number of vaccine breakthroughs in the fourth quarter had fostered hopes of a return to economic normality. Global equities had risen as a result. Global growth was likely to rebound strongly in 2011, driven by the rollout of vaccines and continued monetary and fiscal policy support. There was an expectation that inflation would creep up only gradually as the global economy started to absorb spare capacity and interest rates were likely to remain low.

(c) Border to Coast Pensions Partnership - Mr Andrew Stone provided the Committee with a presentation on the portfolio of investments managed by Border to Coast Pension Partnership, relating to quarter four. The update also included details of the Boarder to Coast Team.

(d) Internally Managed Funds - The Director of Corporate Resources submitted a report that summarised the position of the whole Fund for the quarter ended 31 December 2020 and considered the Internally Managed Portfolio and associated transactions in more depth.

Members raised a number of questions, which officers responded to.

Resolved - That the updates be noted.

1460 VOTE OF THANKS - The Committee proposed a vote of thanks to Geoff Day, External Manager, who would be leaving Schroders in March 2021. The Committee extended its thanks to Geoff for his participation and contribution over the years and wished him well for the future.

The Climate Change Review Panel was established following a request by the Overview Management Committee.

The Review Panel examined climate related risks and opportunities to the Council, its residents and businesses and investigated how the Council can act to minimise the risks and take advantage of the opportunities.

The Council agreed its revenue budget for 2021-22 on the 11 February 2021. This included a council tax increase of 3.49%.

The Humberside Fire & Rescue Service has set a 2021-22 council tax precept of £10,364,639 for East Riding of Yorkshire, representing an increase of 1.99% in council tax compared to 2020-21.

1 Background

1.1 The Council agreed its revenue budget and council tax level for 2021-22 at its meeting on 11 February 2021.

1.2 The Council resolved (minute 2735) that the formal Council Tax Resolution be submitted to the Council on 24 February 2021 for approval including the following elements:

• Council tax with an increase of 3.49% relative to the 2020-21 amount • Special expenses • Parish and town council precepts • Precepts set by Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner

2 Council Tax Precepts

2.1 At its meeting on 12 February 2021, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service resolved to set a council tax precept for 2021-22 of £10,364,638.39 for the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 2021-22 council tax base is 117,313.4 Band D equivalent properties, therefore the precept set by the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service is £88.35 per Band D equivalent property. This is an increase of 1.99% compared to the 2020-21 Band D amount of £86.63.

2.3 The Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner has declared a precept for 2021-22 of £28,531,792.01 for the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 2021-22 council tax base is 117,313.4 Band D equivalent properties, therefore the precept set by the Police and Crime Commissioner in East Riding of Yorkshire is £243.21 per Band D equivalent property. This is an increase of 6.6% compared to the 2020-21 precept of £228.22 per Band D equivalent property. The council tax referendum principles allowed the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner to increase its Band D equivalent council tax by £15, this equates to an increase of 6.6%.

2.4 The council tax precepts set for 2021-22 by parish and town councils in the East Riding of Yorkshire are detailed in Appendix 2, alongside the corresponding amounts per Band D equivalent property in each of their areas.

2.5 The Council’s increase of 3.49% consists of a 1.49% general increase plus 2% for the adult social care precept. The proposed increases to special expenses in the parish areas where these apply do not exceed the general increase of 1.49% to council tax for Council services. Appendix 3 shows the proposed special expenses to be charged in 2021-22, solely to properties in the areas indicated. The budgeted income from these proposed charges is £0.462m for 2021-22, an increase of £0.002m from 2020-21 due to a combination of the decrease to the tax base for the areas indicated of 0.65% and the proposed increases to the chargeable amounts. 109 3. Council Tax Resolution

3.1 The Local Government Finance Act 1992, as amended by the Localism Act 2011, requires a billing authority to make specific calculations to determine its council tax requirement and to determine the billing amounts in relation to all precepting authorities by 11 March of the preceding financial year. The council tax resolution at Appendix 1 sets out these calculations and the billing amounts for the 2021-22 financial year.
