Report of Cabinet Member for Health, Adults and Leisure, providing an update on delivery of the Southampton Children and Young People's Strategy and Start Well programme.

The Board received and noted the report of the Cabinet Member for Health, Adults and Leisure detailing progress of the delivery of Southampton’s Children and Young People’s Strategy and Start Well Programme to ensure that Children in the City were given the best start in life.

The Board particularly noted the following points:-

·  The progress made in respect of Child Friendly Southampton; and the nomination of the ‘health’ badge. This would provide an opportunity for all partners, whether primarily working with children or adults, to come together to build a collective whole family focus on emotional and mental health and healthy weight. Both have also been identified as priorities and commitments for the next two years in the Health & Care Strategy.

·  The citywide focus on Trauma Informed Practice, again a priority and commitment in the Health & Care Strategy. Partners were encouraged to sign up to the Emotional & Mental Health training led by the Anna Freud Centre and Charlie Waller Trust which was being rolled out across the city.

·  The City Council priority regarding locality working.

·  The Board’s Corporate Parenting responsibilities in respect of the city’s Southampton children.

Councillor Margetts was in attendance at the meeting and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting.

The Board received and noted the report of the Cabinet Member for Health, Adults and Leisure detailing the progress since December on the Interim Integrated Care Strategy and the delivery of the Interim Integrated Care Strategy Priorities.

The Board noted that the Strategy had been developed in partnership with local authorities; the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Southampton City alongside those of our other local authorities had been used to inform the case for change and priorities. The strategy had been developed in close partnership working with the Directors of Public Health from the local authorities to ensure that it built on and supported the work ongoing at a place level. To ensure the effective delivery of the strategy, it was recognised that partnership working with our Health and Wellbeing Boards would be vital.

The Board indicated that within the next update there needed to be more information on the priorities alongside tangible outcomes in order to provide the Board with opportunity to discuss these in full and provide feedback, it was considered that work around the strategy was not advancing as required.
