To approve the annual fee increases as detailed in tables one and two as detailed in the resource section and taking note of responses from Providers in appendix 1. The fees have been reviewed in line with contractual obligations and feedback received from social care providers within the market which are currently commissioned to deliver essential services to the most vulnerable adults across the county. The increase for April 2020 has been informed by the recent announcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) increase of 6.2%. Paying a competitive rate is essential in order to have a resilient market which can recruit and retain a workforce.

28/02/2020 - West Midlands Regional Foster Care Framework ref: 6665 Recommendations Approved
To approve the adoption of the West Midlands Regional Foster Care Framework for the provision of foster care services from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2023; with the option to extend for up to a further year at an estimated spend of up to c.£3.5 million per annum. Actual spend will depend upon demand from the number of children looked after by the council and the capacity of the council’s in-house fostering service to meet that demand.
The current framework agreement expires on 31 March 2020 and there is no option to extend. Sandwell Children's Trust has taken the lead on behalf of the region on a re-procurement exercise for a new framework which is due to go live on 1 April 2020. Joining the framework ensures that Herefordshire can continue to achieve good value and quality when placing looked after children with independent foster care providers. Joining the framework allows access to a pool of regionally approved fostering agencies. It does not commit the council to spend via the framework. The council will search for placements for individual children via the framework, and will purchase from the framework if a suitable match is found for that child. If a suitable match can not be identified, the council would extend its search to, and may purchase from, the wider market of agencies that have not joined the framework.
Decision Maker: Cabinet member children and families
Decision published: 28/02/2020
Effective from: 06/03/2020
Decision:
That:
(a) the West Midlands Regional Foster Care Framework Agreement until 2023 for the provision of foster care services be adopted to facilitate the purchasing of independent agency foster care;
(b) the Director for Children’s and Families be authorised to take all necessary operational decisions to implement the above recommendation and utilise the framework agreement;
(c) the Director for Children’s and Families and relevant Assistant Directors be authorised to take all necessary operational decisions to spot-purchase placements outside the framework should the need arise for individual children.

Decision Maker: Cabinet
Made at meeting: 19/12/2019 - Cabinet
Decision published: 09/01/2020
Effective from: 19/12/2019
Decision:
The cabinet member housing, regulatory services, and community safety introduced the item. The programme director housing and growth and strategic housing manager attended for this item to respond to questions.
It was acknowledged that tackling homelessness and rough sleeping was a high priority for the council and that the strategy focussed on prevention and developing suitable accommodation.
In discussion of the proposed strategy cabinet members noted that:
· Services were available to migrants, some of whom were rough sleeping, and there was a need to review and develop the structure for delivery;
· Many housing associations nationally had taken a more risk adverse approach to rough sleepers as potential tenants and avoided letting to people on benefits, in Herefordshire the strategic housing forum had been relaunched and the council had identified the importance of outreach and navigation workers to help individuals to sustain tenancies;
· The council was working with Hope Scott House in Hereford to develop their provision for homeless persons and a capital investment would shortly provide an additional 5 self-contained apartments with office space alongside for use by support services, being self-contained the accommodation was available to both males and females;
· The council’s enforcement teams worked to deal with poor quality rented accommodation, it had been noted that increased regulation and small margins were squeezing out smaller landlords and work was taking place with housing associations to ensure that private rental properties were offered;
· The council was considering developing its own properties, which might provide an opportunity to fill gaps in the types of accommodation available;
· The lack of accommodation which would accept pets had been raised by the voluntary and community sectors as a deterrent to some people coming forward for help;
· Further bids would be submitted for funds to support health improvement projects and work continued with health partners to provide access to services;
· The housing solutions team had an out of hours service with 24 hour helpline to support people in crisis, the team had contacts with private landlords and with the night shelter in St Peter’s Square in Hereford;
· Connections had been made between council strategies to co-ordinate work, for example the prevention toolkit for the community hubs model would help to support vulnerable people within and through their local community;
· There were differing views as to whether members of the public should be discouraged from giving money to people begging on the streets with some organisations believing that it helped to sustain individuals’ drug or alcohol habits or rough sleeping as a lifestyle, however care needed to be taken not to stigmatise all homeless people and the council had given feedback to those responsible for recent posters on street furniture in Hereford that it was not an appropriate message.
Group leaders were invited to express the views of their group. It was suggested that reporting should use figures as up to date as possible, perhaps quarterly, to assess trends and check the effectiveness of the strategy. It was also suggested that the strategy should be titled for the prevention of rough sleeping.
Following consideration of the points raised:
Councillor Davies proposed and Councillor Harrington seconded that the strategy should be amended to make more specific reference to services for migrants.
Councillor Marsh proposed and Councillor Norman seconded that the title of the strategy should be amended to stress the prevention element and that the strategy should include reference to pets.
The above amendments having been accepted it was agreed that:
(a) the Strategy for the Prevention of Homelessness and Rough Sleeping at appendix 1 be approved, with the additional inclusion of reference to migrants and pets.

14/01/2020 - Street naming and numbering charges ref: 6511 Recommendations Approved
The council has a statutory duty to provide a street naming and numbering (SNN) service. Over the years the use of electronic address data has increased the demand on the service and the role undertaken. The service currently provided therefore has evolved to include statutory and discretionary elements.
Through the registration and distribution of new addresses and postcodes, developers receive a service which is of clear commercial value to them. Without an address they have difficulties procuring service connections and processing property sales. Their customers, the purchasers of the properties, would in turn have difficulty accessing a range of services after they move in as their address will not appear on any database or mapping system. As a general principle there is greater acceptance of charges where a clear benefit is visible in return.
This report is looking at introducing a scheme of charges on the discretionary element of the work, it will summarise the SNN legislation, look at the reasoning and explore available options. A scheme of charges (appendix A) is proposed which will aim to recover the cost of the discretionary element of the work, thus helping to maintain service delivery.
Decision Maker: Assistant Director for Technical Services
Decision published: 03/01/2020
Effective from: 21/01/2020
Decision:
That:
the scheme of charges (appendix A) for additional discretionary street naming and numbering services be introduced with effect from 1 April 2020.

Decision Maker: Director of Children and Families (Historic)
Decision published: 02/01/2020
Effective from: 11/12/2019
Decision:
The approach to providing all school staff
with a high level of training in relation to autism in line with
the commitment within the all-age autism strategy is approved. The
Council engages the accredited regional hub of the Autism Education
Trust (AET) to deliver high quality professional development to all
of Herefordshire’s schools over a three year period.
The cost of the programme will be £75,000 over the three-year
period. A sum of £70,000 has been set aside in the
Council’s budget to support the implementation and promotion
of the Herefordshire all-age autism strategy. The remaining amount
of £5,000 will be provided from the remaining balances of SEN
Reform Grant, originally provided by the Department for Education
for stimulating developments in relation to SEND and hence this
would fit with the conditions of grant.
