Issue - meetings

          The Board received a report which provided an updated position around the Residential and Supported Accommodation Sufficiency programme of work which incorporates A7 within the Improvement Plan and a presentation from Mr Woods and Ms Morrow from the Disabled Children Short Breaks Team. The presentation provided information on the short breaks for children with complex disabilities at Inglefield, Runcorn. The presentation outlined the:

·       number of referrals from Halton children;

·       number of nights children had stayed at Inglefield;

·       successful recruitment of the Inglefield team;

·       recent Ofsted inspection of Inglefield which achieved an outcome of ‘Good’; and

·       steps being explored to provide improvements at the Centre such as communication passports and inclusive AAC devices to provide an individualist approach.

          Members welcomed the presentation and were invited to contact Inglefield to book an appointment to view the service.

          RESOLVED: That the presentation be noted.
