3. Local Commissioning Budget 06-07
- A funding allocation for £17,000 is available for NW1 for 06/07. Priority for funding (in accordance with The West Sussex Children’s Fund Plan) will be given to previously funded projects. All previously funded projects have been contacted and asked to send in expressions for interest for funding. Due to The Children’s Fund joining the LAA, it was agreed that projects could apply for funding for 06-08.
- Four expressions of interest were received.
- It was agreed a maximum allocation for £5,000 would be awarded to each project per year.
- Brief presentations from Peaceworks, Chichester Child Contact Centre and Chichester Homework Library Club were made. Comments were feedback to the organisations. Please see chart below for main details. The group also received an expression of interest from PACSO however, no representative from PACSO was present at the meeting.
Action: PACSO to be invited to attend the next NW1 Children’s Fund meeting to give a presentation on their project and to explain how funding will be used in further detail.
Expression of interest: NW1 Children’s Fund 06-08. Total funding currently allocated £17,000 per annum
| Name of project / organ. | Brief project description | Requested funding | Comments from Network |
| Peaceworks – Peer mediation | Development of conflict resolution, listening and life skills through a school-curriculum based project. 2 peer mediation schemes to be launched in Selsey (Seal and Medmerry Schools) and deliver module 1 inputs at East Witterings and Portfield Schools | Up to £10,721.50 per year | £5,000 for 06-07 and £5,000 for 07-08 could be applied for. Peaceworks to actively try and work with schools in Selsey locality (Sidlesham, East Witterings, West Witterings, Manhood, Seal, Medmerry) to ensure locality delivery. Several children from he primaries also feed Chi High Girls, Chi High Boys and well as Bishop Luffa. Chris highlighted the recruitment and retention of peer mediator trainers was an issue. Bella Cobby offered to investigate the advertisement of these on WSGFL. |
| Chichester Library – homework helper | Free access to ICT hardware and software, fee broadband internet access, introductory lessons to on-line learning for parents and children and support for completing homework. Homework help offered on Tuesday evenings (promoted for Yr6 and 7 at all schools in Chichester) + parent / carers introductory sessions. Funding for more data sockets + 4 more laptops (H/W support to be promoted for Year 5 and 8 children.) | £5,000 | £5,000 for 06-07 for computers and data sockets to create children’s and young person’s study area, £5,000 for 07-08 for staff salaries to support Homework Support Sessions could be applied for. It is hoped they will be able to run twice a week and from 4.00pm. Young person’s evening at Selsey Library to be trialed this academic year with possible rollout at Southbourne and Witterings next academic year. Homework support at Chichester library to be promoted at all primary and secondary schools in Chichester locality for Yr5 – 8. With current 4pm – 6pm homework support arrangements transport for children was noted to be an issue. Sarah Day offered to feed this back to Chichester District transport forum. |
| Chichester Child Contact centre | Provision of a safe, neutral place where children of separated families can spend time with their non-resident parent where there is no other viable alternative. Open fortnightly on Saturday mornings for 3 hours. Funding for general running costs. | £1,000 | From the discussion it was felt that the Contact Centre needed to look at its sustainability plan. It was suggested that a total funding of £2,000 for 06-07 could be applied for with the idea that by 2007 the centre would be sustainable. £1,000 should be use for running costs and £1,000 for sustainability planning and promotion of the service. Referrals to the centre should also be taken form JAT and FLWS and other early intervention services – promotion of the service would therefore be needed. Solicitors should be encouraged to apply for legal aid funding for the centre from the families who are referred – this could be through a fund raising event. The centres evaluation strategy could also be strengthened by telephone contact following a visit to the centre to ensure comments from users are noted. |
| PACSO (Parents and Carers Support Organisation | Support for parent and carers of a child or young person with a disability. After school club, monthly Saturday club, fundays during Easter and Christmas, summer holiday programme and half term films. Funding for playworkers at 10 Saturday clubs per year and the cost of office hire and fees.

Apologies
Paulette Cassidy, School Nurse; Kate Brooks, primary Mental Health worker
Funding
Funding can be carried over into the next financial year, though the project should be completed as soon as possible
Before the performance
Preparation in lessons (What mental health awareness do young people already have? how many teachers? Would they want guidance on this?)
Draw and write activity-prompt questions, find out attitudes. Could measure again at the end
Should we meet with teachers who will be involved?
It would be possible to attend a performance by appointment.
Performance
This has a clear structure with ground rules. The play is performed by young people so has credibility (they use the same language etc) There is a narrator/joker who passes questions and ideas on to the players ensuring the audience is still at a distance.
Project team will attend.
Provide list of services (not all as some do not give out direct numbers) + advice that they can access through school nurse, pastoral staff, GP etc
After the performance
1.Immediately After:
Divide into groups with young people from Arun Youth Theatre forum to lead each group with low key assistance from project team
Gain immediate feedback from young people
2. After ‘internalising’-when? same day or later in class ?
Further questions for young people…
Whats your preferred method of getting info (chat room?Internet?friends? teachers? Parents?) What sort of info do young people need about mental health services? Would you know who to talk to at school? Outside school?
Young people could design a leaflet to be distributed at school
3. After 3 or 4 weeks:
Primary Mental Health workers to offer a drop in.
Further discussion with groups/individuals about value of project.
Other Ideas
Teacher’s evaluation
Similar performance for parents?

CHILDREN LEARN HOW TO SAVE LIVES
Chichester District Council is giving 1,100 children from 50 local schools the opportunity to experience what it feels like to deal with a real-life emergency and cope with hazardous situations within a safe environment.
The Safety And Me (SAM) junior citizens event, which finishes on Wednesday 22 March, is currently taking place at The Venue, Spur Road, on Quarry Lane Industrial Estate in Chichester.
Year 5 Primary School children from around the district are practising many different skills as part of the annual event. These include making a 999 telephone call, planning how to escape from a fire in the home, placing a body in the recovery position and using a water rescue technique.
SAM is a partnership event organised and funded by Chichester District Council, Western Sussex Primary Care Trust, Sussex Police and West Sussex Fire & Rescue. Other partners include West Sussex Road Safety Team, Westgate Leisure Centre and Sussex Ambulance Service.
Councillor Heather Caird, Health Portfolio Holder, said:
“It’s vital that children are encouraged to take some responsibility for their own safety from an early age and the Safety And Me event enables us to specifically target children. The organisations we work with are extremely experienced in communicating these safety messages and the children really enjoy taking part.”
John Kingdon, Head of Environmental Health Services, said:
“‘Safety and Me’ comprises ten hazard scenarios including road safety, healthy eating, fire safety, stranger danger, responding to an accident, rail safety and water safety. The purpose of the event is to ensure that children pay attention to safety hazards that often don’t get the most publicity. Most children know not to talk to strangers but they ignore the continuous danger from cars and water.”
Imogen Stephens, Western Sussex PCT’s Director of Public Health, said:
“This event is a really important part of our health promotion activities targeting young people. We know from the success of previous events that sharing messages about accident prevention in this way leaves some really powerful memories with the children.
ENDS

Chichester District Council on 01243 534754.
Note to Editor
You are invited to send a reporter/photographer to the event on Monday 20 March 2006 at The Venue, Spur Road, Quarry Lane Industrial Estate at 10 am. Councillor John Ridd, Chairman of the Council, together with other District Councillors, will be in attendance.
