Leeds trinity multiagency working and the influence of the eyfsNathan Loynes
This document discusses multi-agency working in relation to safeguarding children. It defines multi-agency working as different services collaborating towards shared goals. The Children Act of 2004 emphasized the need for agencies to work together through processes like joint assessments and protection strategies. The advantages of multi-agency working include gaining different perspectives, while challenges include coordinating between agencies. Facilitating factors include the Common Assessment Framework and Framework for Assessment of Children in Need. The EYFS statutory framework also requires early years settings to designate safeguarding leads and follow child protection procedures.
Implementation of Responsible Supply Chain Management within the Healthcare S...Sherif Zaki Tehemar
This document outlines steps for implementing a corporate social responsibility program within a company's supply chain. It discusses establishing a supplier code of conduct, prioritizing suppliers based on their relationship and empowerment level, communicating expectations, conducting self-assessments, monitoring performance through audits and measures, and taking corrective actions with suppliers that do not meet standards. The goal is to encourage suppliers to voluntarily adopt more ethical practices over time through cooperation rather than immediate termination.
The document discusses the importance and challenges of multi-agency collaboration between professionals working with families. It notes that while collaboration has benefits, differences in values, perspectives and other factors can impede effective partnership. The Children Act 2004 and Every Child Matters policy renewed emphasis on collaboration following the Victoria Climbie case. These policies aim to unify goals and improve outcomes for children through better communication between systems, roles and trainings like the Common Assessment Framework. While the aims of multi-agency working are agreed in principle, effectively achieving and maintaining partnerships in practice remains challenging.

1. Effective performance measures for universal service programs are needed to evaluate whether they achieve intended economic, social, educational and health benefits or are just good intentions.
2. Measures should identify specific ultimate and intermediate outcomes, analyze how much outcomes can be attributed to the programs, and examine cost-effectiveness including hidden costs.
3. For example, broadband measures could evaluate numbers of people with available and affordable service, and connectivity increases, to determine if programs improve health, education and economic opportunities as intended.
The document discusses proposed updates to the G3 Guidelines to provide more guidance on reporting related to human rights and gender. It outlines recommendations from working groups on adding new disclosure items and performance indicators related to human rights due diligence, impacts, and remediation processes as well as incorporating a gender lens across labor practices, equal remuneration, and product impacts. Feedback is requested on the proposed revisions.

Riding the waves - strengthening organisational resilienceNoel Hatch
This document discusses organizational resilience in local councils and how to strengthen it. It defines resilience as having three capabilities: absorbative to adapt during shocks, adaptive to make incremental changes, and anticipatory to prepare for future disruptions. Six key characteristics of resilient councils are identified: strong leadership, engaged staff, learning and innovation, financial and performance intelligence, collaborative relationships, and resource flexibility. While councils are strong at responding to immediate shocks, many want to improve their adaptive and anticipatory capabilities. The document provides examples of councils that have deliberately invested in resilience and celebrates examples of councils demonstrating resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also identifies some lessons for the sector, such as nurturing cultures of innovation. Strengthening

2010 Enraged To Engaged - Connecting Through CollaborationHelen Maupin
This document describes the transition of Winnipeg Transit from an adversarial, top-down management structure to a collaborative work system through partnership with the Amalgamated Transit Union. It details how a crisis over a contentious contract led management to commit to collaboration. A working committee was formed with representatives from management, the union, and bus operators. Through focus groups, trust- and morale-building initiatives, and developing new systems collaboratively, the relationship and culture improved. Key successes included cost savings, improved employee surveys, and reduced grievances. While a proposed new scheduling system was initially rejected, the experience reinforced lessons about maintaining trust in the collaborative process.
The document discusses factors that can lead to unethical corporate behavior such as increased competition and pressure to earn profits, as well as ambiguous situations and corruption.

How companies respond to complaints and grievancesEthical Sector
The document discusses MPRL E&P's grievance redress mechanism (GRM) program to address complaints and concerns from local communities affected by its oil and gas operations. It provides an overview of the GRM process which includes community volunteers collecting grievances, acknowledging complaints within 3 days, providing feedback within 14 days, and closing cases within 30 days on average. An initial pilot program was implemented in 3 communities and received 36 cases, all of which were addressed within targeted timeframes and led to 100% satisfaction rates. Next steps include training more community volunteers to disseminate GRM information to 50% of households and addressing challenges around coordinating with government stakeholders.
How do we mobilise people around shared outcomes?Noel Hatch
Whole systems change across a neighbourhood
How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.

The Greenwich borough council implemented a new operating model and approach to corporate change following a period of prudent financial management but being behind the modernization curve. A small continuous improvement team was set up in 2020 that developed a target operating model with a phased 4-year implementation plan led by the council without a strategic partner. The model focuses on building strong foundations, prioritizing directorate services, core processes, enabling functions, and the front office over time. It also establishes a consistent "Greenwich way" model of change with a focus on improved outcomes, evidence-based prioritization, bottom-up engagement, and sustainable financial benefits.
The document outlines the OECD's SME Greening Toolkit, which provides policy instruments to promote better environmental performance among small and medium enterprises. It was developed based on experiences in OECD countries and reviews of policies in Eastern Partnership countries. The toolkit covers regulatory, information-based, economic, and institutional partnership tools that governments can use to support SME greening. It also discusses current barriers like insufficient support for green practices and offers recommendations such as smarter regulatory approaches, information and guidance programs, incentives, and partnerships to overcome these barriers.
This document discusses factors to consider for VAT cost sharing groups focused on education institutions. Main factors include supplies must be of services, no profit or loss on member supplies, and exemption does not apply to commercial outsourced services.

Climate Change - New Corporate Reporting Presentation - 16th June 2021Morlai Kargbo, FCCA
The document summarizes recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for new corporate reporting on climate change. The TCFD developed recommendations in four areas: strategy, governance, risk management, and metrics/targets. It also provides guidance for all sectors to help implement the recommended disclosures in financial filings to inform investors and other stakeholders about climate-related risks and opportunities. Implementation is expected to occur over five years to allow for increasingly sophisticated voluntary disclosures.
This document discusses driving change for racial equity through a holistic approach that considers business drivers, internal factors, and external factors. It recommends addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion as business drivers by directly serving broader market segments, leveraging supplier diversity, and eliminating systemic bias. It also recommends deploying resources for social change by mitigating bias through equitable policies, creating an inclusive culture, and using influence to catalyze change. Quick wins are suggested in three areas: as business drivers by reviewing representation gaps, distribution commitments, and marketing practices; in teams and culture by analyzing representation metrics and embedding equity in processes; and with resources by pledging support and partnering with advocacy groups.
While executing a project, there are many organizational factors that impact the project in various ways. Some of such factors are Culture, Structure, Knowledge Assets, Systems and Procedures and so on. This presentation uses on real-life experiences of the author to explain the impact on projects.

Key points from the workshop include: surveying stakeholders identified gaps in capabilities like marketing and obstacles like cultural mindset; synthesizing survey results to develop initiatives to address gaps and obstacles; finalizing characteristics for the regional intermediary model including vision, capabilities, strengths, targeted industries, performance metrics, and board structure; and rationale for a hybrid public-private partnership model to leverage existing organizations and infrastructure. The goal is to create over 66,000 new jobs and economic growth through a world-class cross-border distribution hub.
Bill Taylor, Changing approach and behaviour in service delivery: a provider'...LandorLINKS
The document discusses the evolution of integrated services in the UK highways sector. It outlines how integrated contracts aim to improve value for money, efficiency, and relationships between public and private sectors by having a single provider handle multiple functions like maintenance, design, and customer services. However, traditional payment mechanisms focused too much on costs and claims rather than outcomes. The TfB model in the UK changed this by making profits dependent on performance targets and open-book accounting. Shared objectives, risk management, a focus on outcomes, and good people management are seen as key to the success of integrated services.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

4. Problem 2 Tend to measure what we can count What get’s measured is what gets valued What get’s valued is what we pursue The things that matter most to us get left out
Set Background – Gershon efficiency savings. Problem 1: Unit cost tells you nothing about quality. Financial measurement has not served us well, with a limited measure of value. Accounting never intended as an exact science, misinterpreted as so.
Commissioning became focused on the relationship between inputs and tightly specified outputs Focus on narrow outputs can miss opportunities to maximise public benefit across social, environmental outcomes. A provider, particularly CVS, may be creating value (e.g training volunteers, working with hard to reach people, etc). This also misses many interactions between the way services are delivered, and the the outcomes that come from those services.
Those on whose behalf policies are formulated are excluded from decisions Indicators are not relevant to the people whose lives are supposed to be changed by policy, so we measure the wrong things (the failure of top-down, siloed targets) Engage with stakeholders, particularly CVS. Service specifications framed in terms of narrow outputs are barriers to innovation by providers and service users.
SROI UK OTS funding SROI becoming the industry standard in the third sector Need to push the boundaries and apply it to other sectors so that pursuing public benefit becomes the norm for all organisations. Limitations? Proxies will be subjective Doesn’t allow to compare apples and pears Only as good as data that goes in Criticising numbers and using them?
The sustainable commissioning model returns to a treasure def of VfM.
Commissioning for Outcomes is only half the story. Need to measure outcomes too. Introduce the outcomes star. Refer to Triangle if more questions.
Emphasise that SCM is LEGAL.
