To consider a report of the Deputy Corporate Director Children, Families and Wellbeing, Director of Service Development, Adult and Community Services.

Further to previous updates, the Board received a report of the Executive Member for Community Health and Wellbeing outlining the latest position concerning the Winterbourne View Stocktake Action Plan.

Members were reminded that Trafford had undertaken a self-assessment stocktake exercise in June 2013 for NHS England to benchmark its position leading up to the resettlement of individuals identified as part of the Winterbourne Review. The stocktake was designed to enable local areas to assess their progress against commitments in the Winterbourne View Concordat, share good practice and identify development needs. The Review report, published jointly by the Local Government Association and NHS England, was an analysis that covered all 152 Health and Wellbeing Board areas.  Trafford has since been identified as an area of best practice in relation to Choice and Control by the Local Government Association (LGA), NHS England and the Department of Health and a case study from Trafford will feature in the report in relation to how local authorities have responded to Winterbourne.

Attached to the report was an action plan update showing progress against the ‘Amber’ areas for action (as part of a Red, Amber, Green rating system on progress) which had improved from 10 Amber areas in October 2013 to 1 Amber area in December 2013.

RESOLVED: That the good progress in relation to the areas of the Winterbourne View Stocktake be noted and the efforts of individuals involved be acknowledged.
