3. / Matters Arising from the Minute of the Last Meeting 13th January 2016
Mental Health Stretch Targets for Children and Young People
Elaine explained that, following the presentation that herself, Cecilia Thompson and Maggie Hepburn had made to the December meeting, Louise had informed the group that the CPP requested a stretch aim for mental health for children and young people and the HAOG had been tasked with developing a draft to take back to the CPP. After looking at a variety of data sources Elaine recommended using the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale collected through the SALSUS survey, and the suggestion was for a stretch aim to increase mental wellbeing in 13 to 15 years old by 5% by 2015.
Discussion took place around this and it was noted that this was for secondary school aged children only with nothing in place for primary schools.
The stretch aim suggested by Elaine was agreed and to try and establish what could make a difference and focus on this, signposting as appropriate. There was further analysis required on this and as such it was also agreed that a multi-agency group be convened with Elaine McC as Lead.
ACTION: Elaine McC convene a multi-action Group and Lead on this.
Innovation Fund
Elaine drew attention to the Innovation Fund and explained that there had been two successful bids. £75,000 each over three years. £25,000 was to be utilised by March 2016, however due to timing this would not be possible and arrangements had been made for this to be put into reserves with CAMHS.
Pupil Voice is looking to develop something and was seeking a small working group to take this forward. Good ideas had been received from young people and the next meeting of Pupil Voice will be setting aside a couple of hours to focus on this.
Karen Tosh is currently working on the Teen TLC website for young people and the bid will link with this work. Elaine explained that part of the evidence used for this was from the event held at Curl Aberdeen via the NHS youth forum.
The second Bid for £75,000 was with regard to children not attending school and putting support in place to improve this and is been led by Education Psychology.

Work is still to be done to amalgamate the two current Acton Plan documents, one being the extrapolation of actions pertaining to this Group from the Joint Inspection Report Action PlanServices for Children and Young People in Aberdeen City.
The paragraph to be inserted at the front of the Action Plan was discussed and various amendments suggested. Elaine and Marlene will revisit this with Laura Dodds to reflect Child Health 2020, and take back to the March meeting.
The letter received from Bernadette Oxley, which had been circulated to the Group, was discussed which requested monthly reports to be submitted from each Group. It was felt that the Healthy & Active Outcomes Group wasabreast of the actions. It was therefore suggested that a letter in response be sent from Elaine Allan, as Chair. If Elaine was not back into the office by next Monday, then Marlene would respond and Pamela offered her support in this.
The topic of a Vice-Chair was approached and it was suggested that Marlene be considered for this role, however this was deferred for further discussion at the next meeting.
