Mistakes/corrections/updates from the last minutes and Matters arising
Page 5: diploma should probably read “diploma/degree”
Page 1: £12.10 needs to cover personal liability, insurance, holiday, pay, maternity/paternity pay, sickness benefits etc. On average a PA is paid about £8 per hour. From next year, pension scheme needs to be included.
Sleeping night rate: £35 to £60 per night.
Linda to chase up for clarification for JS
Jenny said that the PA network is being sorted but it is a very slow process.
Jenny has written to her MP ref employment – section where there is no category for carer.
IPC: Jenny has spoken to Ian Dodge (no 2 to Simon Stephens from the NHS)
Sally and Jenny went to the transition pathway. There will be a series of workshops starting from next week. Flo has emailed dates
Parents would like a Adult services structure chart for this area in particular. As soon as we have the restructure in place, Linda will email the chart.
Sally said that Fareham Go Bowling is now closed.
Being safe conference: James thought it was very good apart from the rain. Ros enjoyed the competition. They also received a certificate of attendance if they answered all the questions. Janet said that Trading Standards are still offering the Making Money Matters booklet. However, it is not cheap to produce and Janet suggested a cheaper version like the LD plan copies on thinner papers. The DVD is copied in-house and is also available via You Tube.
Section 75 not renewed so Fareham and Gosport team is no longer “integrated”. It does not mean though that they don’t work together. They are still in the same building (co-located) and the same people work there.
If you would like to make a referral for Adult services, you need to ring Basingstoke (not Poles Copse).

Sharron and James will feedback at the Partnership Board.
Jenny has some questions from parents/carers.
