SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 Welcome to the Winter Newsletter SIGNAL provides information, advice and support to adult unpaid carers who live in Bracknell Forest. Bracknell Forest Council gives SIGNAL the money to run the service. To be an adult unpaid carer you must: Be over the age of 18 Provide a friend or family member with help and support because of their illness or disability Not get paid for providing this help What is help and support? This could be help to do shopping, housework, providing transport or even just visiting a person and having a chat. It is important you know about people and groups that can help you stay healthy and happy when you are a carer. Support for young carers (people under 18) and parent carers of disabled children are supported by other services. If you need to contact them SIGNAL can provide you with their telephone numbers. Page | 1 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 Carers Lunch Coming to the carers lunch can: Give you a break from caring Help you meet other carers Give you the chance to talk to SIGNAL staff Give you information The next carers lunch is on Friday 21st January 2018. It starts at 12 noon and finishes at 2.30pm. It is at Easthampstead Baptist Church. An invitation will be sent to you nearer the time. Top of the Hops! During Carers Week SIGNAL provided free activities in the community for carers to try. Peter, who cares for his wife, tried Tai Chi, Yoga and Tap Dancing. He has decided to keep on doing the tap dancing as it helps to keep him fit, gives him a break from caring and he gets to meet new people. Peter says “I would encourage all carers to try something new as you never know what you may like.” Page | 2 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 Updates from Bracknell Forest Council Conversations Model – Melanie O’Rourke, Head of Adult Community Team In November Bracknell Forest Council’s Adult Teams started a new way of working called Conversations. There are 3 Conversations. We have gone back to basics, there will be less processes and administration, for example some of the forms we use have been removed. This means we want to listen more and question less. 1st Conversation – We always start here Aims Regain control of your life Help with independence Early help and prevention Equipment can be provided, such as medication dispensers We will look, with you, what local community or support networks could help you http://helpyourself.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/ Page | 3 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 We will not focus on your eligibility for services. If you still need support or are in crisis we go to the 2nd Conversation. Conversation 2 We will work with you to identify all the issues and help you to order these issues and think about where to begin. Where needed we could provide short term support to get you through a crisis. Once the crisis is over we will develop a plan to help stop the same thing happening again. If after the second Conversation there are long term needs we would move to the 3rd Conversation. Page | 4 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 Conversation 3 Complete the statutory assessment Create a support package based on your long term needs Changes If your care needs change again, we do not want to guess what would help you so we will go back to the 1st conversation. Future Timings of Carers Assessments If it has not happened already for you then we are aiming for your next carers assessment to be completed after the assessment of the person you look after. This is so that any changes are updated into your assessment. The new approach to home-based social care – Rifit Hussain-Curtis, Joint Commissioning Manager Over the past 5 years the number of people needing social care services has increased and the costs per person have doubled. Page | 5 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 To continue to meet people’s needs the council needed to do things differently and selected five home care providers to work with. The new contracts began in August. People had the choice to stay with their existing provider through a direct payment if they wanted to or change to one of the new providers. The five providers are: Care 1st Ltd Loving Angels Care Ltd Oxford House Community Care Q Care Ltd Watershed Care Services Ltd The new approach aims to; Help people achieve their own goals Enhance quality of life Regain confidence and skills Increase independence Provide practical help such as personal care or shopping Emotional support It is not just about carrying out specific tasks it gives providers a more active role in planning support and designing a wellbeing plan which could also connect people with the community and voluntary sector. Page | 6 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 CARER EMERGENCY CARD EASY READ Carer Emergency Support What would happen if an emergency meant that you could not provide the care you usually do? How would people know you are a carer? Who would they call? Having a Carers Emergency Card and making simple plans with family, friends and neighbours who could help in an emergency can help give you peace of mind. What is the Carers Emergency Card? It lets other people know in an emergency that you are a carer It should be with you at all times, such as in your bag or wallet A card can also be given to the person you care for with your contact information The cards are FREE What have you received? One card for you – To complete One card for the person you care for – To complete Two forms for you to fill out and give to your emergency contacts Page | 7 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 Making your plans Think about who your chosen emergency contacts are: do you or the person you care for have family, friends or neighbours who could help? Talk to them about what would happen in any emergency if they needed to step in. Complete the contact form and hand it to them. How does the Carer Emergency Card work? In an accident/incident, the emergency services would find your Carer Emergency Card and contact your emergency contacts so they could step in to provide support. If your contacts are not available Adult Social Care or the Emergency Duty Team would be contacted to ensure the person you care for is kept safe. Need help with the cards or the forms? Contact SIGNAL 01344 266088 [email protected] Page | 8 SIGNAL for Bracknell Forest Carers WINTER 2017 Other Emergency Plans A Message in a Bottle?

  • Ascot Labour Party
    Dear Mr Ashby, Draft recommendations for Windsor and Maidenhead – input from Ascot Branch Labour Party Thank you for your March 2018 report containing your draft recommendations for new electoral arrangements, in which you made the point that the Commission would be ‘particularly interested to hear local views relating to the proposed wards during this consultation’ [ParaGraph 75]. I write to convey the views of Ascot Branch Labour Party in response to that request. Number of councillors - overall To beGin, we do not aGree with your overall recommendation to move to 42 councillors, as this introduces an unnecessary inequality between Maidenhead and Windsor in terms of the number of electors per councillor. Your earlier proposal was for 43 councillors, which was less iniquitous, reGardinG one of your principal statutory criteria, electoral equality. In fact, numerically we believe an even better solution would be to have a reduced council of 41 members, comprisinG 22 from Maidenhead and 19 from Windsor. This achieves much better equality than either 42 or 43. Number of councillors – Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Secondly, whether there are 41, 42 or 43 councillors overall, the Ascot area (Ascot, Sunninghill, Sunningdale and Cheapside) cannot equitably sustain 6 councillors, when compared to the rest of the borough. We believe your own fiGures show this quite clearly, with both of your proposed wards having a variance of -13% by 2023. Moreover, you have only achieved this by ‘encroaching’ into Old Windsor, an area which does not look to Ascot for its identity, and in fact does not have easy transport links to Ascot.

In reference to large vehicles that were causing obstruction when turning left from Forest Road on to Braziers Lane: Adrian Hoare reported that the same problem existed at the junction of Chavey Down Road and Locks Ride; the cause was that the buses are too big. Minute 4, Update on Priorities Adrian Hoare suggested painted strips across the road at speed-sensitive points as a calming measure. There was some support for this idea. 2 Update on Priorities Stuart Tarrant presented the results of the Neighbourhood Consultation Survey which was considered at the NAG Chairs meeting on 21 January 2010, in particular the results relating to Winkfield, Cranbourne & North Ascot.
