Attendance, Behaviour & Traveller Education Service P

S

Sp M A

Service Description The Attendance, Behaviour and Traveller Education Service is a multi-disciplinary team with a variety of skill base and expertise in supporting schools, vulnerable families and students. The overall aim of the service is to promote student inclusion in the broadest sense. We aim to improve the attainment of all children and young people by working in partnership with schools to build capacity for better outcomes for children who have attendance, behavioural, emotional and social communication difficulties, which can often be a barrier to learning.

Academies can purchase our services as a whole package of attendance, inclusion support and training or you can purchase them as separate bespoke packages as listed below.

What the service can offer

Traded offer of inclusion support for pupils with challenging behaviour.

You will receive regular support from a linked Attendance and Behaviour Support Officer (including absence cover).

Support for individual students comes via a referral form and an information sharing meeting with staff within the school. Key observations will be noted, leading to specialised and practical plans to address that child’s needs.

A Pastoral Support Plan may be called, including the parents and other key professionals involved. SMART targets will be set with meaningful and individualised rewards offered. We are able to provide some in-class support and progress is closely reviewed. Some students will be offered a programme of group-work to promote and enhance learning behaviours in the classroom or specific tailored programmes that promote emotional regulation.

In order to work as preventatively as possible we work on a classroom coaching model for students and school staff. We find that this improves outcomes for a focus child and also benefits the rest of the pupils in any given classroom. School professionals can also be supported through our comprehensive professional development training programme.

Traded offer for attendance support You will receive regular support from a linked Attendance and Behaviour Support Officer (including absence cover) to assist you with advice and guidance on promoting early intervention for pupils with poor attendance and strategies for managing pupils with persistent absence.

The Attendance Officer will take responsibility for the preparation of cases that meet the threshold for legal action including: • Issuing of Fixed Penalty Notices • Support for children on safeguarding plans and children missing from education (CME) • Provision of advice and guidance on child protection issues • Detailed casework for pupils with low attendance and who have reached the threshold for legal intervention • Outreach work with pupils and families, including home visits and attendance at multi-agency meetings and case conferences for pupils causing serious concern • Meetings at school with staff, outside agencies and parents • Cross border liaison in relation to out of Borough pupils • Advice and guidance when a parent wants to educate their child at home • We are also able to offer you a pre-Ofsted ‘health check’ with data analysis.

Attendance Guidance and Support Training

½ day training at your convenience On-site training in School with your School Attendance Officer. Access to School SIMS system, School Procedure regarding non-attendance, School Attendance Policy and school based letters.

Duty advice line

To cover any kind of query related to attendance, behaviour, traveller support, IYFAP and exclusion we offer a dedicated Mon-Fri 9am - 5pm duty telephone system, where a member of our team will be here to answer questions and provide follow-up.

Service Feedback

“Our school was privileged to join in with Team Teach and Restorative training. We found their training to be dynamic and interactive. All staff members were trained as well as peer mentors, we are ready to give our children the voice and opportunity to become active partners in finding solutions for their own child-related problems. In order to develop children to become the best British citizens that they can be we consider problem solving, within a social environment, to be one of the key factors. The trainers were knowledgeable and approachable. Thank you for impacting on the future of children.”

Finance Support Service – Pooled funding opportunities Sp

A

Service description As part of the 2013 -14 school funding reforms, additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally. For maintained primary and secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for academies, special schools and pupil referral units de-delegation is not permitted. The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk.

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time – For Academies, Special Schools, Special Academies and AP Academies In support of an employer’s legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training, Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union. This ensures broad representation of staff in Havering’s schools and academies who are members of trade unions.

The following trade unions receive facility time as below: Teaching Staff NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

Support Staff UNISON GMB

The funding for facility time for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies or special schools, so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at a price per pupil or a price per place, as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA. The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide consultation, negotiation and representation, for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions.

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances, disciplinaries, restructuring and/or redundancy, pay & grading appeals, TUPE transfers, health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation.

36

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest i.e. introduction of new policies, notification about organisation change and/or redundancy, avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage.

Branch Secretaries, who are funded through the pooled arrangements, are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters.

Benefits to your School

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities. The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process. Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areas/tasks etc. and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training.

Maternity Leave Insurance - for LA Maintained Special Schools only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools. This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave.

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools.

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools so this service is offered at a price per place.

General Insurance - for LA Maintained Special Schools only Budgets for insurance are delegated to special schools and the pupil referral service so they must make arrangements for sufficient insurance cover for buildings/contents and staff/pupils and visitors to their schools. The service available from the Council is outlined in pages 62 - 63 of this brochure called “General Insurance & Risk Management” and provides economies of scale through the Council insurers. LA maintained special schools need to purchase Service A and it is recommended Service B is also purchased to provide additional cover for contents, water damage etc.

Free School Meals Eligibility Checking Service Sp

A

Service Description Provides a service that checks the eligibility of claimants for Free School Meals and Pupil Premium on behalf of academies, Special & AP Academy and LA Maintained Special Schools.

What the service can offer • The Local Authority operates an Eligibility Checking Service through a central Government hub.

Only LAs have access to the hub • Online application for new claimants is available through the Council’s website • No need to see evidence of eligibility as the parent/ guardian will have already been assessed as eligible for other benefits that qualifies them for free meals for their child(ren) • Eligibility is recorded as continuous so does not require annual renewal by the parent/guardian

40

• A regular monthly checking of all claimants through the hub determines if the claimants are still eligible. If no longer recorded on the hub the parent/guardian is contacted to determine if their circumstances have changed. If no response is received within 10 days, free meals will cease • The school will receive immediate advice by telephone and confirmation by email of children that are newly eligible and advice of those where eligibility has ceased. Parents/ guardians also receive written confirmation of eligibility • A check against other Councils’ records to see if the school/ academy has pupils eligible for free school meals who are not currently registered. We then contact the parent/ guardian and the school/academy to advise them of the pupil’s eligibility • Regular data checks with academy/school records for funding purposes.

What the Service can offer

What the Service can offer

Service A – Main Insurance The provision of a comprehensive insurance service to support you in management of risk for your school.

With the ever increasing awareness of society of their legal rights and with compensation claims being pursued for allegations of failure to educate, bullying, stress etc, it is imperative that proper insurance cover is provided for your school and governors. Our service, provided by a professional team who understand your educational needs, offers the following: Arranging and updating the essential insurance covering buildings/contents and staff/pupils and visitors to your school.

Utilising the economies of scale to purchase from insurers and by the use of the Council’s insurance fund the following cover: Fire: Buildings and contents (Excludes accidental damage, malicious damage etc.)

Employers’ Liability Public Liability Officials’ Indemnity Libel and Slander Insurance of Money Engineering: • Boilers • Pressure Vessels • Lifts (including devices for the disabled) • Multi gyms • Machines.

Computers Motor/hired vehicles (not employees’ cars) Fidelity Guarantee Personal Accident: • Out of school activities • Assault • Work Experience Hirers’ indemnity.

Service B – Optional Extras Available to all maintained schools as optional extras.

Balance of Perils (accidental damage, malicious damage etc.) for buildings (up to £50,000) and contents.

Schools activities scheme (includes cover for on and off-site activities).

Due to the usual 100% take up of the optional extras, and in agreement with the Heads’ Forum schools will be automatically included and prices circulated with an opt out option, this negates the need for individual declarations.

What the school will be asked to do Provide access for surveys etc undertaken by insurers from time to time and implement any recommendations.

Take reasonable precautions in preventing incidents and losses arising and mitigating the effects. Report incidents and potential claims promptly. Cooperate and provide assistance for claims investigations including witnesses.

Advise the insurance team of significant change in activity.

Consult the team/insurers in respect of new build or refurbishments.

Provide details of contract works where works in progress cover is required.

Meet relevant policy excesses.

Service Quality Standards The service is open to telephone and personal callers from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. In addition the Insurance team is available via email and the section provides a fax service. We aim to answer telephone calls within five rings and where possible correspondence answered in full in 15 days.

Services For Education Providers 2018–2019

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising, a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers, their appointed solicitors, loss adjusters and your school – if necessary attending court with your witnesses.

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice.

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years.

The current agreements allow a discount of some 10% + 5% in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies.

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained. The contract was entered into on January 1, 2008, and a new contract will be entered into from July 1, 2018.

• Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so • By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next three years • Your participation confirms your continued agreement to entering into such a partnership with the Council.

Alternatives • Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school, and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors, the school and the Council • Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract • Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools, another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (e.g. buildings of timber construction).

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools, budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at “Service A” above is met centrally.

Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at “Service B”.

The optional insurance prices, whilst on an opt out basis, are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers.

Health & Safety Advisory Service P

Sp M A

C

Service Description The oneSource Health & Safety Advisory Service provides clients with access to a range of competent fire and health & safety services to enable them to fulfil their statutory duties relating to occupational safety and health.

What the Service can offer The Service provides access to a competent advisory service.

It includes access to the Schools’ Health & Safety Manual, guidance and Health & Safety Bulletins developed by the schools’ Health & Safety Team (provided to the lead site for internal distribution within MATs).

Three half days of on-site support (per school in MATs) per year. The visits include a core monitoring element and a support element. The monitoring element is designed to ensure that establishments continuously improve their health & safety management systems. This includes audits of the establishment’s health & safety management system, the frequency of these is decided by the establishment’s risk rating. The support element is flexible to enable best use of the advisory support time. The options available to include training workshops, assistance in developing policy and supporting documents (including risk assessments).

Access to telephone & email advice throughout the contract period.

Optional discounted subscriptions to the Consortium of Local Education Authorities for the Provision of School Science (CLEAPSS) service* (for secondary schools this includes access to the Radiation Protection Adviser Service), Evolve educational visits approval* and Smartlog record keeping systems.

Standard advisory service packages are available on either a single or three yearly basis (service price maintained during the contract period – see pricing for full details).

Subscribers are able to access the health & safety training courses offered by the Team at discounted rates. *These services are included as part of the standard service to Havering community schools

Fire Services Fire equipment servicing service provides annual servicing and five yearly extended servicing of portable fire extinguishers, hose reels and blankets. The Service can be undertaken on both cartridge and stored pressure extinguishers.

The servicing is undertaken to BS5306 (Fire Extinguishing Installations and Equipment on Premises) by BAFE approved service engineers.

The pricing schedule (located in the price area) includes the costs for servicing the various equipment types. In some instances (CO2 & dry powder) it is more cost effective to replace the extinguisher rather than replenish the existing unit as the labour/equipment/parts involved make the service cost close to the new unit cost. Likewise on-site extended servicing of stored pressure extinguishers is not cost effective. A service exchange scheme is offered for these types.

Where replacement fire extinguisher parts are required which are not included in the annual or five yearly extended service (e.g. extinguisher hoses, CO2 horns etc.) These will be provided at cost and fitted during the servicing.

Due to variables such as need to replace extinguishers or other non-service parts (e.g. hoses etc.) it is not possible to provide a quote prior to commencing works. No work other than normal annual/extended servicing will be undertaken without our technician seeking your agreement.

Our service is based on high ethical standards and as such the engineers are fully salaried and not paid on commission (as is common in the fire equipment servicing industry).

Therefore the establishment can be assured that any recommendations made by the service engineer are in the best interests of the client.

Fire risk Assessment service will produce a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for the establishment. To conduct the fire risk assessment, a fire risk assessor will visit your premises and undertake a comprehensive evaluation of all areas of the property looking at all areas of fire safety and risk in detail.

CLEAPSS & CLEAPSS Radiation Protection Adviser Services can be purchased as separate standalone packages.

The process will involve a consultation period with the premises manager, to determine the existing outline standard of fire risk management in the workplace. A pre-inspection letter will be sent before the visit date to enable you to gather the necessary information required by the assessor. On completion of the audit, the physical inspection will look at and identify all of the points below.

The physical inspection is normally a non-intrusive survey of the premises, but will also consider a more detailed intrusive survey if the assessor feels that this is necessary.

Though this will be discussed with you, and will be determined by the age of the property, and construction methods.

1. Property age & condition 2. Persons at risk 3. Potential fire safety hazards and risk, ignition sources & combustible materials 4. Fire prevention & management 5. Fire safety signage 6. Fire safety equipment & maintenance 7. Fire safety training & drills 8. Means of escape in the event of fire 9. Deficiencies in existing fire safety & risk precautions 10. An evaluation of your existing emergency fire procedures, training & drills

The Fire Safety Assessment Report will be emailed to you upon completion in the form of a PDF. There will then be an opportunity to discuss the findings with the assessor in detail if required.

The price of the assessment includes four hours on-site collecting data and inspecting the site. If the assessor feels that further investigation is required in order to make the assessment suitable and sufficient they will discuss this with the site. Any such work will be an additional charge.

Fire Training Services – The service is able to provide on-site training for fire marshals, Evac Chair operators and fire extinguisher training. Further information on the fire training service can be obtained from the Health & Safety Advisory Service’s page on the HES Portal.
