Re: Ofsted Inspection – Urban Futures London Ltd. Steve Delaney Chief Executive

I am pleased to announce that Urban Futures has received a Grade 2 Good provider at our recent

Ofsted inspection between the 9th and 11th May 2017. This is an improvement on our inspection of

June 2015 and represents some considerable investment in time and effort by all our training staff

over the 2 year period between inspections. I would like to particularly thank Anita Garrard our

Head of Quality & Training who has led the team on the major improvements in our service, and all

the frontline staff who have contributed to the change management processes we have enacted.

This grading is evidence that we are heading in the right direction in respect of our Apprenticeship

and Traineeship provision and is a vindication of the service offers we provide particularly at

Stansted Airport. We will continue to focus on further improvements over the coming year as we

aim for a Grade 1 Outstanding. Huge thanks to all involved.

The full report can be accessed via the Ofsted website over the coming days.

Please note the following requirements will mean additional information required by your

insurer. The Employers' Liability Tracing Office (ELTO). ELTO has replaced the previous voluntary

Employers' Liability Code of Practice (ELCOP) tracing service, which was in place since 1999 and

helped around 20,000 claimants trace the Employers' Liability (EL) insurer to pursue a claim.

Employer’s Liability Tracing Office (ELTO)

Extra information we need. The government’s new Employer’s Liability Tracing Office (ELTO)

requires the insurer to collect information about any business insured for UK employer’s liability

insurance

Employers’ liability: You must provide us with the following information for each entity insured

under this section of the policy:

1. Employer name; and 2. Full address of employer including postcode; and 3. HMRC Employer

Reference Number (ERN).

If any insured entity does not have an ERN, you must provide us with one of the following reasons:

a. the entity has no employees; or

b. all staff employed earn below the current Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Threshold; or c. the entity is not

registered in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

You must inform us immediately of any changes to the above information. This information is

required by us to enable compliance with mandatory regulatory requirements for Employers’ liability

insurance

Your policy details will be added to the Employers Liability Database, managed by the Employers

Liability Tracing Office (ELTO). This data will be available for search by registered users as well as

individual claimants on a limited basis, who wish to verify the Employers' liability insurer of an

employer at a particular point in time. You can find out more: From your insurance adviser

(if you have one); or by contacting your insurer; or at www.elto.org.uk.

When implemented correctly, the security controls outlined should prevent 80% of cyber-attacks.

With the recent cyber-attack hitting the NHS, this topic is more prevalent than ever and one which

shouldn’t be ignored by either small or large organisations.

How is Cyber Essentials implemented? There are two different levels of badge that your company

can apply for:

Cyber Essentials: the standard Cyber Essentials certification is a self-assessment questionnaire and is

reviewed externally.

Cyber Essentials Plus: this includes all the assessment for the Cyber Essentials certification but

system tests are carried out by an external certifying body. Any organisation, no matter the size, can

download the Cyber Essentials documents and use them to put essential security controls in place

via the self-assessment.

Why do you need it? Having the Cyber Essentials badge not only protects your organisation against

80% of cyber-attacks, it demonstrates to your customers and supply chain that you have considered

security controls and are working in a safe and secure environment. It also means that you can bid

for important government contracts, as the Cyber Essentials certification is likely to become

mandatory.

Why is it important when bidding for public sector contracts?

From as early as 2014, the Government issued a mandate stating that all suppliers must comply with

the new Cyber Essentials controls if bidding for some government contracts; this was mainly seen in

contracts which involved handling sensitive information and technical services. The Ministry of

Defence implemented this from 2016 for all suppliers, but Cyber Essentials is now a lot more

common across the board for all contracts.

Quality Improvement Associate Coaches/Facilitators

Health Education England

Health Education England in the east of England has historically supported a cohort of Quality

Improvement Fellows each year to develop a baseline of quality improvement skills aligned to

recognised methodologies.

This programme has supported the Fellows to work on small, local projects, but does not necessarily

equip them for more strategic service improvement. Additionally, the future role of these individuals

in relation to quality improvement beyond the life of this programme is not known, nor the overall

benefits if learning to the wider NHS system.

Provision of Safeguarding Training

City and County of Swansea

Safeguarding children and adults at risk of abuse or neglect is everyone’s responsibility. The Local

Authority has a lead role and statutory duty to make enquiries if it has reasonable cause to suspect

that an adult may be at risk of abuse or neglect. Under the Social Services and Wellbeing Act 2014,

and under the current Wales Interim Policy and Procedures for the Protection of Vulnerable Adults

from Abuse (2nd ed, 2013), there are expectations that staff working within partner agencies have

an ethical and professional duty of care to act if they witness abuse, receive information about

abuse, suspected abuse or concerns about the care or treatment of an adult at risk, or have concerns

or suspicions about possible abuse or inappropriate care.

In order to contribute towards achieving these aims, the Local Authority must ensure that a full and

robust programme of training relating to Safeguarding is available to its staff, and partners within

other statutory agencies, the independent and third sectors. As part of this full programme, a

supplier is required to deliver training to support individuals who will have a key role in either the

coordination and management of non-criminal investigations under the relevant legislation, policy or

procedures, or those who are designated to carry out an investigative role.

The contract is for a four year period, but there is an option for the Council to extend the Contract

This specification is for community based support which is support in a person's home or 1:1 support

to access the community, including 24 hour live-in support, but excludes specialist Learning

Difficulties and Mental Health support services. However, as with the previous operating model,

where people's LD or MH conditions are mild enough such that universal services can support their

criteria for Social care, or a Health funded service for Continuing Health Care

Reinvigorating Social Work Training

Expression of Interest for a Request for Quotes Procurement

Dorset County Council is seeking quotations from suitably experienced and capable service providers

for a Reinvigorating Social Work Training service.

For the provision of Specialist Training to support the Reinvigorating Social Work (RSW) Programme,

which is a programme of learning, development and support aimed at empowering social workers.

It promotes practice based on building relationships and improving outcomes for children and

families.

Based on our successful pilot work our RSW learning and development approach to social worker

and managers includes providing specialist training (delivered through external suppliers), agreeing

specific “homework” tasks

and individual learning development plans arising out of specialist training, practising skills through

direct work with children and families with additional coaching and mentoring support, action

learning groups to share learning, reflect on progress and identify areas for further practice

development (including the use of circle time) and Learning Logs and Portfolios of evidence to

complete the learning and development cycle.

Currently we are recruiting to our RSW social work team who will work directly with cohorts of social

workers going through the programme providing additional capacity and offering coaching support

and our work with our partners will include joint training on relationship and restorative practice

through delivery of practice deployment days to build trusting relationships, early help, outcome

focussed ways of working and management of risk.

We are interested to hear ideas on how we might integrate an Asset Based Community

Development approach to explore how social workers become more accountable with our partners

to contribute to better outcomes across whole communities. This will include joint working with 7

Family Partnership Zones, Dorset’s new Corporate Plan (2017-18) and supporting Outcomes

Framework which has 4 outcomes for local citizens (Safe, Healthy, Independent and Prosperous)

There will be a clear expectation that Providers will include content relating to the RSW operating

model that defines what “good” outcome focussed practice looks like and the innovation we are

testing as part of the DfE funded project. The RSW support team will work closely with the supplier

to ensure we have a “golden thread” that runs throughout the whole learning and development

programme.

The Provider shall deliver one or two lots: Lot 1 – Relationship based practice and Lot 2 – Restorative

practice.

There would be an expectation that the successful suppliers would be willing to coproduce the final

delivery programme with members of the RSW support team. This might involve taking part in

teleconferences and meetings during the period of the RSW programme.

The contract would be due to commence from 1st August 2017 and will run for a period of 24

months until 31st July 2019.

The Contract Value is approximately £42,000 per annum and Total Contract Value equating to

£84,000.
