[ Report of the Interim  Deputy Chief Finance Officer. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Finance and Health.] To agree the Council's Medium Term Financial Strategy 2018/19-2022/23 including the Capital Programme and to approve the final budget and Council Tax for 2018/19 for onward consideration and approval by full Council on the 26th of February 2018.

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Health introduced the report which finalised the Council’s General Fund and HRA 2018/19 Budgets and the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) for the period 2018/19 to 2022/23, and proposed approval of the constituent elements of the strategy to Full Council on 26th February 2018, together with the Council’s capital budgets for 2018/19.

The Cabinet Member outlined that, since Cabinet consideration of the MTFS in December, the Local Government settlement had been received. The financial position had improved slightly but there were still significant challenges for the budget in 2018/19. The report was proposing, that alongside the £15m General Fund reserve allocation, a budget resilience reserve of £7.2 million be added to provide capacity to help manage the risk in the budget.

The Cabinet Member thanked participants for their contributions in the public consultation on budget proposals for 2018/19. There had been a lower response rate than last year but this was due to the 2018/19 proposals building on the budget proposals agreed in 1207/18 budget process.

RESOLVED

1.    To consider the outcome of the budget consultation as set out in Appendix 8, to be included in the report to Council. Having considering this, this report does not propose any amendments to the budget proposed for 2018/19 nor to the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) 2018-2023.

2.    To approve the responses made to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee recommendations following their consideration of the draft budget proposals as set out in Appendix 7.

3.    To note the mitigations identified to deal with projected service budget overspend in 2017/18 set out in table 6.7.

4.    To propose approval to the Council of the 2018/19 Budget and MTFS 2018/23 Savings Proposals as set out in Appendix 9

5.    To propose approval to the Council of the 2018/19 General Fund Revenue Budget as set out in Appendix 1, including specifically a General Fund budget requirement of £249.228m, but subject to final decisions of the levying and precepting bodies and the final local government finance settlement.

6.    To propose approval to the Council of the General Fund Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) 2018-2023 as set out in Appendix 1.

7.    To propose approval to the Council of the creation and maintenance of a Budget Resilience Reserve.

8.    To propose approval to the Council, subject to any agreed amendments, of the budget proposals for 2018/19 as set out in this report at Appendix 6, including the 3% precept on Council Tax towards funding Adult Social Care pressures.

9.    To propose approval to the Council that the overall council tax to be set by London Borough of Haringey for 2018/19 will be £1,281.57 per Band D property, which represents a freezing of the 2017/18 rate but with an additional 3% for the Adult Social Care precept.

[ Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Finance  Officer. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Finance and Health.]The Council's income policy requires that a review of fees and charges is undertaken annually. This report seeks approval for fees and charges schedule for 2018/19 financial year.

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Health introduced the report, which set out the fees and charges that were proposed to be applied to services for the year 2018/19. This report considered the relevant factors affecting the review of fees and charges identified those services where an increase was being proposed and sought approval to increase the fee or charge rate to those services where an increase is proposed in line with inflation.

The Cabinet Member further advised that there would be a more comprehensive review of fees and charges carried out next year.

In response to Cllr Carter’s question on the increase in the concessionary rate charges for pest control, the Cabinet Member outlined that if this was not an inflationary level increase, then increases in rates tended to be put forward further to considering statistical neighbouring borough charges or the London average. The Cabinet Member offered to facilitate the provision of information to Cllr Carter on the rationale and context behind the increase in these charges.

RESOLVED

1. To agree the proposed fees and charges to be levied by the Council with effect from 1 April 2018, unless otherwise stated, and as detailed in Section 8 and related appendices taking into account the findings of equalities assessments as set out in section 8 of the report and available in full at Appendix A;
2. To note the proposed changes in fees and charges arising from previous Cabinet or Cabinet Member decisions as set out in Section 9 and related appendices
3. To note that the Council’s MTFS assumes that the changes to Fees & Charges set out in this report are agreed.

Reasons for Decision

It is a requirement to review fees and charges annually. The financial position of the Council supports the view that levels of fees and charges should be maximised taking into account all relevant factors including the effect on service users and any consequent demand for services.

Alternative options considered

This report summarises the conclusions after consideration of a range of alternative approaches dependent on particular services and relevant factors. As such a range of alternative options ranging from no increase to differentiated rates of increases have been considered and reflected in this report.

[Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children and Families.]Following public consultation held between October and December 2017, Cabinet is asked to determine the admission arrangements for admission to community nursery, primary, junior and secondary schools and to St Aidan’s Voluntary Controlled school and for sixth form admission for the year 2019/20.

The Cabinet Member for Children and Families introduced the report, which sought approval to proposed admission arrangements for the school year 2019/20. These arrangements were in respect of the borough’s community and voluntary controlled (VC) schools.

This year the proposed admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled (VC) schools included a proposal to introduce an additional oversubscription criterion for children of teaching staff to follow after the sibling criterion (such a criterion to be limited to permanent teaching staff who have been employed at the school for at least two years at the time of application, and limited to one place for each form of entry in any year.

This criteria had been added following consultation with parents, teachers and schools as set out at part 6 of the attached report and reflected in the consultation findings at appendix 8. The aim of this additional criteria was to support schools facing increasing challenges in recruiting and retaining teachers.

RESOLVED

1. To consider and take into account the feedback from the consultation undertaken which is set out in summary at paragraphs 6.6-6.23. All the representations are set out in Appendix 8 of this report.

2. To consider and take into account the equalities impact assessment of the proposals on protected groups at appendix 7.

3. To agree the recommendation set out in this report to proceed with a material change to the oversubscription criteria for all Haringey community and VC schools for the 2019/20 year of entry. This change proposes an additional oversubscription criterion to prioritise children of staff after the sibling criterion.

4. To determine the Council’s admission arrangements for the academic year 2019/20 as set out in Appendices 1 – 4.

5. To agree the in-year fair access protocol (IYFAP) as set out in Appendix 5 to come into force from 1 March 2018.

6. To agree that the determined arrangements for all maintained primary and secondary schools in the borough are published on the Council’s website by 15 March 2018 with an explanation of the right of any person or body, under the School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co-ordination of Admission Arrangements) Regulations 2012, to object to the Schools Adjudicator in specified circumstances^[1].

Reasons for decision

The School Admissions Code 2014 requires all admission authorities to determine admission arrangements every year, even if they have not changed from previous years. Regulation 17 of the School Admissions Regulations 2012 also requires admission authorities to determine admission arrangements by 28 February in the determination year.

In addition, the Regulations require the admission authority (in this case the local authority) to publish on its website by 15 March in the determining year the determined arrangements of all maintained primary and secondary school and academies in the borough, advising the right to object to the Schools Adjudicator, where it is considered that the arrangement do not comply with the mandatory provisions of the School Admissions Code 2014.

The Council consults on its admission arrangements annually irrespective of whether or not there is a proposed change to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 171.

[Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children and Families.] Report outlining the future design of services for young people leaving care in Haringey and the Care Leavers Strategy agreed with local partners.

The Cabinet Member for Children and Families was pleased to introduce the report, which sought approval of an outline Local Offer for improving support to care leavers in line with requirements of the Children and Social Work Act 2017.

The Council was required to consult with stakeholders in developing the Local Offer to ensure all services that may support care leavers in moving to and sustaining independent living were reflected and that the Local Offer was presented in a way that supports access to information and advice and relevant services for care leavers. Final statutory guidance on the Local Offer was still pending, but the approval of Cabinet to consult was being sought in advance of this to ensure that officers are able to finalise a Local Offer as soon as possible after the Children and Social Work Act comes into force.

RESOLVED

1.    To approve for consultation with stakeholders, including children in care and care leavers, a draft Local Offer and Care Leavers Strategy in line with the outline versions in Appendices 1 and 2;

2.    To delegate to the Director of Children Services in consultation with the Lead Member for Children Services authority to finalise the draft Local Offer and Care Leavers Strategy for consultation with stakeholders;

3.    To agree that a report on the outcome of the consultation be brought back to Cabinet for a final decision on the Local Offer and Care Leavers Strategy.

Reasons for decision

New statutory duties

The Children & Social Work Act 2017 is the first major change to the existing statutory duties set out in the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000. The focus on care leavers also reflects recent central government policy and is expected to be reflected in the future Ofsted inspection framework for Children’s Services. The majority of leaving care duties from the original legislation remain, but in addition, the Act introduces the following:

·                Corporate Parenting Principles – codifying for the first time the ways in which all-local authority departments, not just Children’s Social Care, must have regard for the wellbeing and development of Looked After Children and Care Leavers. These are intended to act as a set of tests for helping the council as a whole to deliver services to looked after children and care leavers in a way that mirrors as far as possible the way a good parent would support their child. In Haringey, this has already been given consideration through the Corporate Parenting Pledge that was adopted by Haringey’s Full Council on 24^th July 2017 and further work to reinforce the Pledge across the local authority will be part of the proposed Care Leavers Strategy.

·                Extension of leaving care duty to 25 – amending the previous upper limit for providing support to the age of 25 for all care leavers, where before it had been 21 unless they were in full-time education; this entitles former relevant care leavers to have an allocated Personal Adviser and support to develop and achieve a Pathway Plan until  ...  view the full minutes text for item 172.

[Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Culture.]Report outlining the future design of services for young people leaving care in Haringey and the Care Leavers Strategy agreed with local partners.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health introduced the report, which presented the Respite Care Policy, following public consultation for approval. The Policy set out how the Council and the CCG would move towards a consistent and equitable way of supporting people in the provision of respite across health and social care. It provided clarity for all carers, users of all ages and practitioners to ensure that those with eligible needs receive the appropriate respite support.

A response was provided to Cllr Carter in relation to his query on paragraph 11.2 of the policy document.

RESOLVED

1.    To consider and take into account the feedback from the consultation undertaken which is set out at 6.6 and in Appendix 3;

2.    To consider and take into account the equalities impact assessment of the proposals on protected groups at Appendix 2;

3.    To approve the Respite Care Policy, to take effect from 1^st April 2018 attached at Appendix 1.

Reasons for decision

The Council and CCG are committed to supporting carers, young carers and the cared for person to access the right respite care in a way that supports carers, contributes to outcomes for the cared for person and aligns with the Corporate Plan. The Council and CCG are also committed to closer integration between health and social care. This policy outlines Haringey Council and Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group’s approach to respite care which has the aim of maintaining or improving adults and carers’ well-being and, in line with the Care Act 2014, the Children Act 1989 and The National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS- funded Nursing Care 2012.

The Council and CCG recognise the significant contribution that carers – whether family members, young carers or parent carers – make to the care of those with a range of needs who are thereby able to remain living at home for longer, preventing the need for institutionally based care for as long as possible.

The Council’s current arrangements for respite care do not rest upon a single clearly stated policy position. Current practice is inconsistent with local variations in different service areas.

The CCG also does not have a single clearly stated policy position.

The aim of a single respite policy is to clearly set out and define what respite care is and isn’t, to provide a clear pathway for identifying need and the provision of respite and to set out how charging applies to respite thereby providing clarity and consistency for all carers and cared for across Haringey.

Alternative options considered

Alternative options considered were to continue with separate approaches to respite policies for children, adults, health and social care. This option was not taken forward as this would have been a missed opportunity to encourage joined up working across service boundaries.

The contents of the Policy reflect the wider strategic aims of the Council to give all children the best start in life and empower all adults to live healthy, long and fulfilling lives and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 173.

[Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Culture.]Report seeking approval to award a contract for the provision of IMCA, IMHA, Care Act Advocacy and Children’s Advocacy across Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. Haringey are the procurement/contracts lead on behalf of the three boroughs.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Culture introduced the report, which sought approval to the award of contracts for the provision of Joint Advocacy Services for the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey in accordance with Contract Standing Order 9.07.1 (d).

In response to a question from Cllr Carter, there was a high quality threshold for tenderers to progress through to reach this final stage of contract recommendation. Savings were across all three areas and it was important to recognise that this was a demand led service so there was a need to have some capacity. This was in relation to the funded element of the contract but the council would look to use these savings to fund additional advocacy services, in anticipation of future demand and to provide capacity for the service going forward.

Following consideration of the exempt information at item 23.

RESOLVED

1.    To approve the award of contracts in respect of the provision of Joint Advocacy Services for the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey.

2.    To enter into contractual agreements jointly with the London Boroughs of Barnet and Enfield, and award contracts to the successful bidders named in Part B of this report.

Reasons for decision

The current contracts for IMHA / IMCA and Care Act and Children expire on 31^st March 2018.

A full tender process has been carried out and the recommendation in paragraph 3 is made following the completion of evaluations by a joint team of Council officers from the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey, as well as officers from Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust in relation to the provision of IMHA services. Officers from across adults and children’s social care were involved because the services being tendered for spanned across adults and children. The recommendation provides best value for the Council.

The lot structure was considered carefully to ensure Lot 1 was for the provision of IMHA services, Lot 2 for the provision of IMCA and Care Act Advocacy services and Lot 3 for Children’s Advocacy services. Lot 2 includes two distinct statutory advocacy services for adults (IMCA and Care Act Advocacy) because there is a significant amount of overlap between the statutory requirements for IMCA and Care Act Advocacy. Combining the services together enables service users to be supported by the same advocate/service for IMCA and Care Act Advocacy should they need the input of both. This reduces the need for a person to repeat their story to different advocates and also allows for a more efficient service.

Alternative options considered

Haringey to commission advocacy services independently:

This option was considered but it was deemed more beneficial to jointly commission the services with neighbouring boroughs in order to benefit from economies of scale associated with collaborative procurements.

Do nothing

This is not an option as these are statutory services

[Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Culture.]Report seeking approval to procure a development partner to convert Linden House into specialist supported accommodation for adults with complex needs.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Culture introduced the report, which sought approval for the Linden House site to be converted into a 4-flat adapted supported living unit to enable residents with complex health and care needs to live more independently in the community. This included a number of residents currently living in hospital settings and therefore falling within the Transforming Care cohort.

RESOLVED

1. To agree that Linden House, a Council property, is converted into 4 supported living accommodation flats for adults with a learning disability and/or autism to enable them to live independently in the community. This is subject to the availability of capital funding from NHS England:

2. To enter into a Capital Grant Agreement with NHS England to secure the funding to convert Linden House into a supported living accommodation for people with learning disability and/or autism;

3. That the Deputy Chief Executive following consultation with the Section 151 Officer and the Monitoring Officer, be delegated the authority to finalise and agree the terms of the Capital Grant Agreement with NHS England;

4. That the Council commission and procure a development and construction partner to convert Linden House into the said supported living accommodation;

5. That approximately £65k from the capital programme be committed towards the professional fees costs including the procurement of the construction partner;

6. That a report on the outcome of the procurement process to secure a development and construction partner be brought back to Cabinet for a decision.

7. That on completion of the conversion, the Council enter into lease and management agreement for the property with an externally commissioned provider from the ‘Positive Behavioural Support Framework’, already approved by Cabinet, to provide specialist accommodation and support provision to adults with a learning disability and/or autism.

Reasons for decision

Linden House was an 8-bedded residential unit, which was closed in July 2017 following a decision by Cabinet taken on 10^th November 2015 as part of a Corporate Priority 2 report on a series of proposals pertaining to adult social care and linked to the Medium Term Financial Strategy.

In order to support the discharge of residents with complex needs from hospital, or acute, settings under the Transforming Care programme (outlined in section 6), or indeed to provide supported living provision to other adults with autism and/or a learning disability, the property requires adaptations to support these residents and facilitate the provision of a positive behavioural support service which would effectively meet the needs and achieve good outcomes for the identified residents in the community.

The option recommended here represents the most financially viable means to develop this property to support this client group, principally because the capital funding for the adaptations comes solely from NHSE.

The adapted property will enable the identified residents to be supported in the community and with greater levels of independence, at a lower on-going revenue cost than is currently available within alternative provision in the market. Costs of providing for this client group are high and therefore any provision, which can  ...  view the full minutes text for item 175.

[ Report of  the Interim Strategic Director for Planning, Regeneration and Development. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Housing, Planning and Regeneration.]Update on the infrastructure and placemaking programme in Tottenham Hale, including the allocation of Strategic Development Partnership receipts through a Funding Agreement to deliver key infrastructural works.

The Cabinet Member for Housing, Regeneration and Planning introduced the report, which sought approval for the Council to enter into a funding agreement for a key infrastructural project, realignment of the Bus Station at Tottenham Hale. This project would unlock key development sites to enable more affordable housing and enable the overall delivery of a new Tottenham Hale District Centre.

The report set out required changes to the location of the Bus Station and associated enabling, which would make the road less complex for better use by cyclists and pedestrians and allow for the development of the new District Centre in line with the Tottenham Area Action Plan. The report further explained how this will work, and the additional spend that would be required.

Cabinet noted that the increased scope of works, and hence costs would be met through pre funding of section 106 and anticipated land receipts, along with an increased grant allocation from the GLA’s Housing Zone programme.

In response to questions from Cllr McNamara, Brabazon and Carter, the following information was noted.

§  The Cabinet Member outlined that the cost of the scheme had increased largely due to the increase in the scope of works. The benefit of the works would reduce the footprint of the Bus Station, in turn freeing up more land for housing units. When considering plans for the Bus Station with TFL and Council transport engineers, amongst other required improvements, it was found there was a need to allow right-hand turns into the new north entrance to the Bus Station, include provision of new traffic signalling, complete significant upgrades to the junction of Watermead Way, provide new bus laybys relocated from within the bus station itself, along with the widening of Watermead Way itself. Therefore, re-alignment of the bus station had grown into a bigger scheme to accommodate the changes required. It should be noted that the changes to the Bus Station result in overall timesavings to busses using the Stations due to enhanced operational flexibility.

§  The Cabinet Member indicated that the capital allocation for this scheme was in the budget papers considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

§  In relation to due diligence undertaken on the scheme, Argent Related, the Council’s development partner , went out to the market with a scope of works required to realign the Bus Station and through this process were required to obtain best value. The most competitive value obtained was £7.165m for the scope of works for which funding will be granted. In relation to funding being sought from the Council, this was capped at the above figure and there was a transfer of risk from the Council to Argent Related as the development partner responsible for delivery of this scheme. Argent Related will ,therefore, be responsible for any cost overruns and can only draw down funding on evidence of spend being provided.

§  The Cabinet were advised that, as this was a funding agreement between the Council and a third party [Argent Related]  ...  view the full minutes text for item 176.

[ Report of  the Interim Strategic Director for Planning, Regeneration and Development. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Housing, Planning and Regeneration.]The consultant will be responsible for multidisciplinary construction-related services to deliver the Homes for Haringey Capital programme from financial year 2018/19 to 22/23, extendable by up to five years annually to financial year 27/28.

The Cabinet Member for Housing, Regeneration and Planning introduced the report, which set out proposals to appoint a long-term delivery partner to provide these services and work with Homes for Haringey to deliver the capital programme.

Further to considering exempt information at item 24.

RESOLVED

That pursuant to Contract Standing Order 9.07.1(d) to approve the appointment of Ridge and Partners LLP for Multi-Disciplinary Professional Services to Homes for Haringey for a period of up to 5 years, with the option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance, for a further five years.

Reasons for decision

Homes for Haringey require specialist services to deliver capital works programmes. The existing consultancy arrangements for housing capital works finishes at the end of March 2018 and therefore a new arrangement is required.

The award is based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) i.e. mixture of price and quality and that the bidder scored the highest points.

Alternative options considered

An alternative option would be for Homes for Haringey (HfH) to use various industry frameworks to deliver the capital programme. This option was discounted, as Homes for Haringey require support to deliver external works. These contracts often extend over one year, which means the contract is classed as a long term qualifying agreement. To be compliant with Section 20 legislation, long term qualifying agreements must be consulted with leaseholders before they are established. As external frameworks are already established, it is impossible to consult leaseholders in a manner which complies with Section 20 legislation and a lack of compliance with this legislation could lead to a failure to recover costs from leaseholders.

A do nothing option would mean the service is not able to deliver capital works to the housing stock and the condition of the stock would deteriorate significantly.

[Report of the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children and Families.]
