    So this is what Mr Cameron meant by less beaurocracy when he talked about the Big society

  • From Joe Halewood, 18/11/2011 8:10 am in The future of sheltered and supported housing??

    I agree that a near 40% cut in SP wont be the worst.  However, Derby City Council needs to make £1.6m per year cuts for the entire Adult Health and Housing Department (budget of £74m) but is cutting £3.4m per year from the SP budget.

    Will hoarders be exempt the no extra room rule on account of their illness?

  • From TC, 14/09/2011 10:52 pm in Proxy Bidding on CBL sites

    Sorry if I am missing the obvious, but if you are the allocated case worker for your client, why would you not use their log-in to bid on their behalf.  Surely you would want to create a bid history for their application, whilst also being able to maintain the information on the application?

    People may benefit from tenant training - understanding the responsibilities of the tenancy, tenancy rights etc, but these are best done at sign up.

    Look on Housemark or ask Circle Anglia for their procedures and measures - that will lead you to a number of good resources.

    Anon,

  • From Sidney Webb, 17/02/2011 5:06 pm in Funding Future Support?

    Chris - housing providers are there to provide housing. It is for local authorities to fund or enable support for people, including tenants. There is no requirement for RSLS to continue to fund support that they have ended up doing, and indeed there is a strong moral argument to cause the State, or the Big Society to pay its' own bills rather than continue to expect the tenants to plug the shortfall.

  • From Joe Halewood, 08/09/2009 2:21 pm in Domestic violence

    Its taken 40 years of concerted lobbying with public acceptance of the need for womens refuges and associated services. They are still oversubscribed and insufficient in mumber.

  • From Joe Halewood, 12/01/2009 11:39 am in Supporting People - the legacy

    If as central government maintain the 200,000 fall in vulnerable people support is largely due to ineligible care, then surely they have a record of what happened to these vulnerable people. If not do central government care about vulnerable people needing care?
