Do you want to help make Manchester a better place to live?
Here’s a great opportunity to shape the future of the city’s homes and housing services.
Manchester City Council are developing a new Housing Strategy for Older People – “Living Longer, Living Better - Housing for an Age Friendly Manchester”.
There have been many changes to the NHS in recent years. One of those was the formation of Clinical Commissioning Groups, or CCGs in April 2013. CCGs are responsible for commissioning the best health services for the area they represent. This means that they plan, arrange and fund local health services.
Central Manchester CCG would like to invite you to attend one of their community engagement events taking place throughout October. You will be able to listen to their plans for the next 5 years and tell them how you would like to be involved in helping us to achieve these.
Domestic abuse is an appalling form of cruelty. Many people still do not see it as the serious crime it is. The Government defines domestic abuse as:
“any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality.”
The behaviour captured in this definition includes:
“…a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim”.
How should Manchester City Council provide independent advocacy for people who need personal care and support so they can say what they want, secure their rights and get the service they need? Manchester City Council are working with the NHS and other agencies to address changes in the law that affect the care and support needs of adults: The Care Act 2014.
Manchester Safeguarding Arrangements have been branded inadequate by OFSTED in their recent inspection of Children’s Services.
It cited:
• Long backlogs in processing referrals (500 children)
• High case loads of social workers
• Concerns that learning from serious incidents was not being implemented.
Manchester City Council (MCC) is holding an event on 17th Sept from 11-1pm at Manchester Town Hall to discuss the extension of Shared Lives services. MCC is seeking an organisation to deliver services for adults with a learning disability and adults with mental health support needs.
The State of the City Report is an annual snapshot of the city’s progress towards their vision for a world class city by 2015 as set out in the refreshed Community Strategy
Four weeks to go and the Spirit of Manchester Festival is building up nicely.
