Targeting Support: Who Will Welfare Reforms Hit Hardest?
Speakers: Deven Ghelani, Policy in Practice, Guy Chaundy, Birmingham City Council
Event: Inclusion's IntoWork2015 Convention, Wed 15 July 2015, Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London.
The speakers told attendees how data insights are helping reshape the distribution of scarce support resources for two large councils in England.
By analysing data they are collect the councils have gained valuable knowledge about the cumulative impact of welfare reforms on individual households in their respective areas.
What's more, those councils have also forecasted what the likely impact of future welfare reforms will be.
This means they know which households are most vulnerable to cuts, and which will be better off under Universal Credit.
Crucially, these insights allow them to therefore deliver support campaigns where they're most needed.
Deven Ghelani is the director of Policy in Practice, an organisation founded to ensure that policy works for people on the frontline. He was joined by Guy Chaundy from Birmingham City Council.
This presentation starts each of the Cluster Groups in the Midlands. It is updated so that it is current for each session.
You will note that it does not have an introductions slide. In the West Midlands this was requested.

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.

Stream of consciousness writing for fluencypamilajohufs
Because so many students in Korea have been taught via a traditionally teacher-based educational system, students often become so focused on test scores, a passive method of using English. This leads them to frequent difficulties with spontaneous production – speaking and writing. Further, students rarely get the opportunity to express their personalities in the Korean classroom setting. These factors contribute to a decreased ability to interact except in the narrowest of circumstances, that is, an inability to engage in important skills in today’s business world – speaking and writing in a natural way.
The researcher has integrated a written assignment that requires students to express themselves in a simple and quick way, breaking their translation habit, and assisting them in writing in a more natural manner.
Beginning with a simple guided imagery technique, students are then taught stream of consciousness writing, a common exercise utilized by professional writers. It can be easily taught and supported in the classroom setting and takes very little effort on the part of the student or the teacher. Students become engaged in their writing, projecting personal representations of themselves in a simple yet profound manner. The assignment engages student creativity, passion, and interest.
This presentation explores the theory behind the assignment’s philosophy, presents the accumulated data of student response, and gives participants an opportunity to learn and practice the technique themselves.

Webinar | Wed 25 Jan 2017. Listen back to hear how Policy in Practice models the impacts of different Council Tax Reduction schemes on individual households, taking future reforms into account.
Featuring guest speaker Steve Hill, LB Tower Hamlets.
Webinar: How to Future Proof Your CTRS scheme for Universal CreditPolicy in Practice
Despite greater flexibility to raise income, councils still have to make savings and ensure their budgets are spent as efficiently as possible.
In many councils the spotlight is on Council Tax to raise income and the Council Tax Reduction Scheme (CTRS) to make savings.
Council Tax Schemes have been locally designed since April 2013. While many still reflect the nationally administered Council Tax Benefit, we're starting to see greater innovation locally.
The driver of this innovation is the backdrop of the cumulative impact of past and future welfare reforms, the introduction of Universal Credit and ever tighter budgets.
CTRS schemes are intended to keep the most vulnerable citizens safe from poverty. Knowing who those people are is a huge challenge.
We've modelled options for future CTRS schemes in detail for various councils. The impact assessments are used to make informed policy decisions by officers and members.
View this webinar to learn how:
1. We accurately model the cost of CTRS schemes today
2. We accurately model the cost of CTRS schemes in the future, including under Universal Credit
3. We accurately model, compare and evaluate CTRS options under consideration
4. We provide evidenced based recommendations on which CTRS scheme best supports the strategy e. g. best fit for anti-poverty strategy while operating within financial constraints
5. What CTRS schemes we have created for North Hertfordshire, Leeds City and Newcastle City Councils

Dr. Jon Whitehurst - Bats, Maths and Maps - Isle of Wight Cafe Sci - Nov 2016onthewight
What do bats, maths and maps have in common with systems engineering you ask yourself? The answer in this case lies in developing repeatable methodologies for the accurate prediction of bat habitat suitability using non-invasive survey methods.
The intent of this lecture is to show the extent to which cross discipline working is exploited within modern day ecology and to demonstrate that the ecology research in the 21st century is not just about fieldwork, recording and subjective assessment.
The specific example presented is bat habitat suitability modelling and the lecture will cover the end-to-end process of mapping predictive bat habitat use and describe the contributions to this process from across a wide range of scientific disciplines that enable field observations and digitised habitat features into fully quantifiable predictions of bat habitat use.

• Basing what decisions we make on evidence and understanding the
impact on services and users
• That we try to attract investment to the Island and improve our local
economy where we can
• That we are realistic in what the Council can and should do
3. NEW COUNCIL – THE FIRST SIX MONTHS
Decision Making
- delegated decisions taken by individual
cabinet members stopped
- reviewed the governance arrangements
and consulting on
three potential options
- Engaging with the public e.g. these
events
Working In Partnership
- with Town and Parish
Councils, business and voluntary sector
- involving communities in use of assets
- continuing to invest in pre
apprenticeships

- agreed to invest in a tidal energy project
and rural broadband
- attracting Inward investment through the
Solent Local Enterprise Partnership
- working with visit Isle of Wight
- enabled the setting up of visitor

5. SERVICE SPENDING PRESSURES
Adult Social Care – increased need
Children’s Services – improvement agenda

13. MEETING THE CHALLENGE ?
• The Council cannot provide the Services it does now It must focus on
meeting its statutory duties
• We will need to look at how others could take on services through local
groups, other Councils, partnerships, merging services or stopping providing
them
• Local communities and residents can play their part in supporting initiatives
in their local areas that reduce the dependency on the Council and the need
for services
• We want to engage everyone in the discussion about what local services
should look like in the future we want to know what you consider to be
important
• We want your ideas on how we should meet the financial challenge
