telephone and through further meetings. This on-going feedback was
assessed by the project team in conjunction with the Cabinet Member
and records of officer decisions were taken to amend the measures
on 20 August, 3 September and 18 December 2020.

consideration. Ward members and parish councils local to the
measures were consulted on the proposed recommendations. The
Cabinet Member has considered these recommendations and the
responses received from ward members and the parish councils and

26/07/2021 - Decision to spend on the Hope Centre ref: 8095 Recommendations Approved
Approval was granted to carry out the roof
repairs at Hope centre to
enable the transfer of the freehold to the HOPE Trustees.
http://hc-modgov:9070/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=7837
The capital bid was for £60k, which included for works and
fees. The
tendered return resulted in a £12,705k forecasted underspend
on the
project. Subsequently whilst works have been in progress, a third
area
of roof has been found to be leaking.
To ensure a cost effective solution was achieved the
incumbent
Contractor was requested to quote for the work, which amounts
to
£23,943, which includes the benefit of having already set up
site and the
necessary scaffolding, welfare facilities et cetera.
As a result, the existing budget will require up to an additional
£15k to
complete the works. The total cost for the project, inclusive of
the 15k
being requested, is £74,830
Incorporating this additional work will enable the terms of the
sale to be
concluded and simultaneously terms for a new lease can be settled
at
more favourable terms (circa. 50% reduction) for the council.

20/07/2021 - To agree to fund Herefordshire’s new youth employment hub until March 2022 and provide additional support for those young people most at risk of becoming NEET ref: 8082 Recommendations Approved
Youth Employment Hub background
Young people’s prospects in the labour market is a cause for
concern, they are
amongst those most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a
significant
increase in youth unemployment in Herefordshire. The number of 16
to 24 year
olds claiming universal credit in March 2021 was 895; 116% higher
than in March
2020.
It will be harder for young people who may lack skills, confidence
or experience.
The risk that young people who were socially excluded before
Covid-19 become
even more socially isolated. Many young people are unsure about
their future.
The government has announced through its Plan for Jobs strategy a
range of
supporting interventions, including the Kickstart Scheme and
dedicated youth
employability coaches aimed at young people aged 16-24 claiming
Universal
Credit.
The success of these interventions is dependent on the ability to
engage with
young people. Without access to appropriate physical space there is
a risk of
disengagement. Being Not in Education, Employment or Training
(NEET) is linked
to poorer health and employment outcomes for decades.
NEET Prevention work background
Year 11 pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)
needs are highly
vulnerable and at greater risk of becoming NEET (not in education,
employment
or training) during the transition from school to Post 16
Education. The outbreak
of the Covid-19 virus has disrupted two consecutive academic years,
significantly
increasing this risk and vulnerability. It has had an impact on
delivering the
intensity and individualised level of required support for these
young people.
Current year 11 SEMH students are therefore now at an even higher
risk of
becoming NEET.
The latest national published statistics for the proportion of 16
and 17 year olds
recorded as NEET is the average of December 2019. January 2020 and
February
2020. For England this was 2.7% and Herefordshire was 2.9%, 0.2%
above the
national average. The average combined percentage of NEET and not
known for
Herefordshire was 9.2%. At the time of writing the 2021 national
data has not
been published.
Current Herefordshire NEET recorded statistic for June 2021 is 4.1%
153 young
people 0.4% higher than June 2020 (3.7%, 132 young people). Of this
cohort, 49%
(75 young people) have been identified has having an additional
need.
Monitoring of the NEET cohort suggests there is an over
representation of young
people who were considered to have SEMH needs .previously attending
a pupil
referral unit, special school for children with SEMH or other young
people in
mainstream schools with identified SEMH needs.
The Learning and Work Institute’s NEET prevention what works
report 2020,
states that approaches that include flexible and tailored support
are proven to be
particularly effective in acting as a mechanism for positive
outcomes across
attainment and employment, progress and engagement for at risk
young people.
