Action
09.39. National RAS Development39.1. Feedback from national event on 2nd October. Common RAS Framework now launched. This is not a prescribed model that Local Authorities have to adopt – Jeff Jerome, National TASC Director, is encouraging authorities to consider its adoption or use it to inform local RAS development.
39.2. Regional support from DH. Our region is progressing well with RAS development. We are waiting to hear how DH will take forward a national RAS action learning set. Jan Clark to update the Board at its next meeting on;
· the development of a regional action learning set, supported by central DH.
· How local authorities are plotting the impact of RAS on local resources / Jan
Action
09.40. ULO
40.1. Wendy Gross’ Report. The findings and recommendations in Wendy Gross’ report on the East Midlands ULOs Project were noted. It was felt that there needs to be a fundamental change on how we engage with the community. There are a lot of examples of good practice but also inconsistent engagement with ULOs and financial recompense policies. As local authorities are at different stages of this programme, it is important to establish a commonality for financial recompense and co-productive engagement across the JIP Programme Boards.
40.2. Next Phase – roadshows and consultant. The Board endorsed the PID which outlines the next steps of the ULO development through to April 2011. The draft PID will be presented to the JIP Executive on 23 November for approval.
09.41. National Milestones Self-assessment. Jan Clark shared the draft National Milestone self-assessment document with the Board. The final document is due to be sent to Directors today. This will not form part of CQC’s criteria for their annual assessment of services. Discussion ensued on how the National Milestone assessment may be a useful tool for sharing information among local authorities.
09.42. At your service – research by DEMOS.
· Ian presented an email from Jamie Bartlett of Demos to the Board asking councils if they are interested in using Demos’ research service.
· The research targets people who use social and health care services to find out their views on personal budgets.
· Nottinghamshire were one of the authorities involved in the initial research and Paul McKay offered to share Jamie Bartlett’s presentation with anybody who may be interested in this research.
· The general feeling was that there would be benefit and value to employ Demos services, especially if this was done on a regional basis.
· Jan Clark to contact Jamie Bartlett and explore the possibility of a regional approach to this survey / Jan

Action
43.3. iMPOWER.
· Progress report noted.

43.4. Workforce Remodelling.
· Progress report noted.

09.44. JIP Feedback. Next meeting is on 23 November so no feedback at this meeting.
09.45. Feedback from SDS Network. Next meeting is on 19 November so no feedback at this meeting.
09.46. Feedback from National Personalisation Network
· Transitions. Ian updated the Board. He reported that Jeff Jerome and John Dixon, ADASS are arranging work programmes around transitions and aiming to meet with regional leads to look at joint working within Adults and Children’s services.
09.47. Feedback from Citizen Leaders’ meeting. This item took the form of a discussion, the key points being;
· The Board is committed to having a two way dialogue with disabled people and their carers. It is incumbent on local authority Personalisation Leads to ensure that local groups are representative and engaged in the co-production of the Personalisation agenda.
· The Citizen Leaders group was asked to feedback to the Board how engagement is happening locally. Leicester City is only local authority which, while engaged with service users and carers, does not currently have a Citizen Leader. In Control could provide support to Citizen Leaders group, this could be further explored
· Jan's discussion paper on Equality, Diversity and co-production will include reference to how each JIP Board might take this forward to ensure co-production across the JIP infrastructure / PPF leads
