Feedback from reps/boards Sam Amanda 7/11/12 DCSPB Sam (mainstream) and Amanda (Special) are the reps. 1 Ruby has been “offered up” as wheelchair service champion. Suggestion to resurrect the wheelchair and equipment group and invite Ann Dyson. Possibility of web based triage for serving of equipment, SE7 keen to get behind this. PaCC should get on board with this. Wheelchair services to be audited by Partnership Charter next year. Not a reflection on Ann Dyson ‘s ability, she is new to the post. Action: Ruby to co-ordinate wheelchair and equipment activities. Ruby CYPC – Rachel has asked for a breakdown by SEN of exclusions. Exclusions is a major priority. Action: Has the breakdown been provided? Rachel HOWSC – Presented health report and silenced the meeting with the personal story. Debbie and Amanda were fabulous in their hour long slot with the councillors. The councillors are now championing the report and have demanded a response from all the groups detailing action plans to resolve the issues raised. Need to keep the pressure up with forthcoming meetings. Carrie recommends getting on the strategic boards as a voting parent representative member for forthcoming activities. Individual Budgets (Emma) Pilot for transport will start at the beginning of November. Three families piloting their own transport to school and working well. Some confusion over who is eligible. (Aim to get people off buses?) At present Individual Budgets only cover transport and not education. Twelve schools are working on single plan with thirty nine families and with a good range of situations. Some plans have been signed off already. Action: Emma to speak to Lalli Howell to obtain a signed off plan to help with training. Emma Approach needs to be funded to cover everyone not just until the pot runs out Patient Consultative Group going really well Carrie - Code of practice is target. Local offer, what needs to be in there and how it is to be monitored. Not just tribunal end but with mediation at the front end between providers and between commissioners and providers. Martin – data closing group – focus on p scales not diagnosis. Question mark over giving children just one p scale when a range might be more appropriate. Have a discussion on p scales at the next steering group meeting? Rachel congratulated everyone on the amount of work covered by the board representation. Strategy Away Day Action: Tim to write up notes, update the plan and present back ideas for prioritisation discussion. Lore Reidel - Notes and structure chart to be sent to Debbie. (See attachments) 2 Tim Small team of 20 looks after 287 children. Strict criteria for access to team. Three workstreams – Child Protection, Looked After Children (60+ days looked after in a year), Children In Need. Would be nice to see Social Care piggy back on SEN reviews. Action: Transition should be based on the school year. Debbie to email Lore to raise it. Debbie Action: Lore to provide a brief summary for inclusion in the next bulletin/newsletter. Tim to chase. Tim Would be useful to know proportion of children on compass database that do not meet the social care criteria. Growing the Steering Group Three new steering group members nominated and approved – Fiona England, Sophie Gove, Reza Atai. Mentors will be provided for them. Intention to meet before and after steering group meetings, go through the handbook and provide the link to the “odd bunch” (Debbie’s words not mine – Ed.) Health Report Latest There will be a follow up meeting in March. Action: Need to put item on agenda for the January Meeting to discuss. Tim Get views on what worked and didn’t work for the education follow up event. Awards Panel Publish information on the Facebook page. Action: Martin suggested that the we ask the new steering group members to judge the awards. Tim Everyone to drum up nominations at AGM. Amaze AGM Martin and Gill volunteered to help set up, man the stall, and get “hot topics” from people for focus groups etc. Action: Tim to produce a form to record “Hot Topics” Calendar Update Meeting Thursday to finalise. Line on back with permission from Juliette re: Sean Possibility of using word cloud 3 Tim Amaze Outreach Amanda working on pilot outreach project in key areas in Brighton, targeting children who claim DLA but are not on the compass database so therefore not known to Amaze. Moulscombe and Hangleton & Knoll initially. So far five people from Moulscombe and seventeen from Hangleton & Knoll have signed up Good for building relationships. Parent’s like Amaze going to them and keeping it local. Really positive door knocking experience. Danger of being perceived as a social worker role. Issues of confidentiality. Need to keep reinforcing relationship building over time. No protocol in place to cope with families identified during outreach who need further support and may not even be known to Social Care. Letter writing and appointments are difficult and stressful for many people. Need Insiders Guide courses run in the local community. Caroline from Lore’s team can deliver safeguarding training. Need to get the back end process sorted soon. People need to know what will happen to any information before they divulge it. Action: Amanda, Debbie and Rachel need to resolve these process issues to safeguard all involved. Amanda, Debbie and Rachel AOB 1. Action: Debbie to circulate a letter in response to the pre-legislative scrutiny, Pathfinder and Next Steps work. 2. Pathfinder extended until Sept 2014 with subsequent delay in legislation. Impact on Brighton and Hove not yet assessed. 3. SE7 holding a review meeting on Monday in London. 4. Transport focus group – Amaze deluged with complaints so the first focus group held with 21 parents, Gil Sweetenham (Strategic Commissioner Planning and Contracts), and Councillor Sue Shanks (Chair of the Children & Young People Committee). There will be a further working group with a smaller number of parents. Parents that came will be asked to volunteer for smaller group.

Action: Add talking about the PaCC ethos at the next meeting. Next meeting – 30th January 4 Debbie Tim Martin Tim
