Geoff Moore gave presentation on the CLIC website. CLIC is the national Information project funded by WAG. Local authorities are being invited to contract with CLIC to provide local information through the new website. Young Wrexham identity still to be maintained however the new CLIC is interactive and young people can input information etc.

Lisa and web team have made major improvements to front page and Youth Service pages. The group are now the process of developing a Young People’s editing group

Rachel Edwards TAC admin currently updating directory of services.

Main issue is to bring website up to date before attempting awareness raising exercise. This is being worked on

The group felt this could be an improvement on Young Wrexham as feedback received from YP was about it not being interactive and therefore were happy to support a proposal to work with CLIC ( Promo Cymru. This proposal should be recommended to the SCoG. Concerns were raised around end of contract with ProMo- Cymru and what then happens to Young Wrexham.

Concerns raised about potential duplication between the Information Management Group (not linked to CYPFWP) and the Website TF group. Proposal was made to merge as the purpose of both were broadly similar – and as an authority we ought to be looking at one database to avoid duplication, reduce costs and to appear coherent to outside agencies and the public. Members of the Website TF group are due to attend the Information Management meeting in April to discuss.

A two hour training session was facilitated for approximately 31 youth service staff in January as well as presentations given to 11-25 SCOG and the Voluntary sector Forum. The Senedd Yr Ifanc was also promoted at the Schools Councils forum meeting on Friday 19th March.

The group will deliver the Big P/ Senedd Yr Ifanc training to young people at Erddig Youth Club on Monday 12th April.

A new members night was held on Monday 15th March to recruit young people to support the promotion of the Senedd Yr Ifanc with 4 new members attending.

During February and March a progress review of all year 1 actions in the play strategy action plan was undertaken. Work on implementing the strategy officially began in September 2009 and

Children and Young People’s Framework Partnership.

A launch event for the new Play Strategy will be held to which elected members and representatives of community councils will be invited.

A ‘play champion’ will be identified from within the Children and Young People’s Framework Partnership Board.

The Strategic Play Forum will be consulted in the development of strategies and action plans relating to services for children and young people.

05 AdvocacyAJ

Very poor attendance at last TF group. Next TF group meeting arranged for 22/4/10.

A new Youth Service post will be re-configured to include co ordination of Second Voice. This post is due to be advertised shortly. This person will also link to the TF group.

There is a need to reconfigure this TF group as attendance recently has been low. The groups remit and membership needs to be widened as advocacy in Wrexham is wider than Second Voice.

The group needs to take account of other advocacy projects happening locally and nationally.

The national WAG plan has been transferred to a local plan and developed to meet local need.The T&F group is well attended with leads being identified for the particular areas of work.

Children and Young People are presently in dialogue about the plan. Their views on the plan have been sought, along with their ideas on how they want to be involved in its development.

The implementation plan is to be approved by the T&F group on the 8th June 2010, presented to the EHWBC T&F Group on 15th June and then to the H&A SCoG on 12th July 2010. It will , though, remain a dynamic document responding to local trends.

EHWBC - CAMHS Training Group

Chair: Louise Carpenter

The EHWBC T&F group will now monitor the multi agency training programme, with a report being provided at each meeting.

Health provides much of . the programme, facilitation and operation of multi agency training There is growing collaboration with multiagency colleagues, particularly in the Educational Psychology service. However, the success is dependant on partners releasing staff to attend even when ‘back fill’ money is not available.

The training programme for 2010/11 is being developed on slippage money as and when it becomes available. Currently working in partnership with SMAT, Safeguarding and Early Years to provide training in the coming months. Also looking at other ways of providing training e.g. poster presentations and ‘ e’ training.

JM All schools have now been offered introductory training

in Restorative Practice. A taster session has been delivered to WASH and many Primary Heads. Two introductory training days have been completed.

Anti-bullying proved a key theme in the ‘Into the Next Decade’ North Wales CAMHS conference which was jointly organised across agency. Two schools (Rhosnesni and Rhosymedre presented on the theme of bullying and peer mentoring.

Peer mentoring - training has now taken place in a range of primary schools and peer mentor systems are up and running.

Strategic Guidance is on the Intranet and the final copy has been sent to the in-house printers for production in hard copy.

Much interest and enthusiasm has been stimulated by the early training days. Snow has delayed the programme a little.

Very successful conference.

Still to develop further in the secondary school sector

Query as to whether funds will be available to produce the guidance in hard copy. Concerns that people are not accessing the Intranet copy.

criteria agreed and being used by Careers Wales. Delay in finalising computerised LEA model – waiting for actual data in order to test the model before sharing with schools;

developing a pre-Skill Build pilot – now agreed to conduct this on a small scale with ITeC.

Resources - £65k additional funding now agreed by full Council (24 Feb).

Even though this and other aspects remain very positive, RAG rating of amber applied to reflect delay to roll-out of Risk Identification model and information-sharing issues which need to be resolved.

A further meeting has taken place with members from the Board to agree final actions which will be incorporated alongside any outstanding actions from the 2009/10 business plan and safeguarding review action plan into the 2010/11 Business plan.

No further progress to note on business plan task on specifying the communication, reporting and accountability relationships with the other partnerships.

Revision of Eligibility Criteria complete awaiting ratification, expected May 2010.

Child Trafficking protocol is being developed on an All Wales Basis – group agreed will provide a consultation response on the draft.

for ratification (18th May 2010). Research into other LSCBs in relation to

policies/protocols on safe recruitment and supervision led to agreement at the NWSCF Policy and Procedure Review Group in March that a North Wales LSCB document should be produced outlining guiding principles of safe recruitment and supervision so as it does not conflict with individual agencies policies and procedures.

A definitive list of All Wales and N Wales policies, procedures and work programme has been obtained. This can now be used to guide the work of the P&P TF Group and also to ensure the current policies are available on Wrexham LSCB web pages. Expect to provide this info to the PAP group re web site updating in May 2010.

In relation to the business plan tasks for this group linked to providing consultation responses to draft national/north Wales P&P - a number of these are not included in the work programmes of either the N.Wales/all Wales PP groups therefore the group has rag’d itself ‘light blue’ – actions complete within the control of the group. This rag’ing also takes into consideration that the development of a safe recruitment and supervision guiding principle document has been taken on by the NWSCFPPRG and the task to review the eligibility criteria is complete pending Board approval. As such the content of the LSCB Business plan for 2010/11 to be reconsidered in line with the work plans of these groups to ensure tasks are achievable.
