LGBT+ Champion appointment - for Children and Young People

At the full Council meeting on 15 November 2019 a motion on Inclusive Relationships Education was presented by Cllr Suzy Horton and passed by the full council. This motion included a resolution to ask cabinet to appoint an elected Member LGBT+ children and young people's champion.(Details of the duties of this role is attached.)

 

The champion role was open to all members as outlined in the MIS item that went on 7th February (attached). Expressions of interest were received from 4 members, Cllr Suzy Horton, Cllr Chris Attwell, Cllr Claire Udy and Cllr George Fielding.

 

The members met with young people from the 4U group, Portsmouth Pride Youth Society and Miltoncross School Diversity group on 28th February  (unfortunately Cllr Fielding was unable to attend).  Each member gave a short introduction to themselves.  This was followed by some informal discussions with the young people in small groups and then some well-considered questions were posed from the floor to each of the members in turn.  The young people were really impressed by all the members and there was some debate about whether they could do the role jointly or whether was important to have one named overall Champion.

 

The young people gave a very clear message that they welcomed the support from all of those who had expressed an interest. They wanted all of these members to work together to champion LGBT+ young people but a majority selected Cllr Claire Udy as their overall Champion.

 

This item is to seek the endorsement of Cabinet in accepting the choice of the young people who were present.  This was due to be considered by Cabinet at the cancelled meeting of 26 March 2020 (due to COVID-19 restrictions).

 

 

RECOMMENDED: to appoint Cllr Claire Udy as Portsmouth's LBGT+ Children and Young People's Champion and to ask Cllr Udy to undertake this role with support and input from Cllrs Suzy Horton, Chris Attwell and George Fielding.

Decision:

The Cabinet appointed Cllr Claire Udy as Portsmouth's LBGT+ Children and Young People's Champion and asked Cllr Udy to undertake this role with support and input from Cllrs Suzy Horton, Chris Attwell and George Fielding.

The Cabinet Member for Housing requested officers to provide Cabinet with a report outlining the support in place for rough sleepers and street homeless prior to the COVID-19 emergency, the response in light of the COVID-19 emergency and the work underway to continue to support those individuals supported and the direction of travel for the longer term.

 

     The report provides cabinet with an outline of:

 

·           The support in place prior to and during the COVID-19 crisis

·           The interim plan

·           The long term plan

 

RECOMMENDED:

 

(1)  That Cabinet note the provision in place prior to the COVID-19 crisis

 

(2)  That Cabinet commend the remarkable efforts of the local authority and partners to meet the call from government to provide safe and secure accommodation for rough sleepers and thank the wide range of public services, the voluntary sector, the local communities, members, officers and the Accor Hotel group & the local hotel management team in continuing to support the emergency provision in place

 

(3)  That Cabinet note the learning to be used to underpin the solutions moving forward

 

(4)  That Cabinet note the emergent MHCLG funding announcements for the interim and long term plan and the work with the MHCLG to co-produce the interim and long-term plan.

 

 

(5)  That Cabinet approve the interim plan subject to funding being made available, to last up to 12 months from the end of August 2020 and which includes these elements:

 

                                          i.    Use Private Rented Accommodation and purchased/sub-leased property at Local Housing Allowance rents for those who need only financial support

                                        ii.    Use HMOs through the HMO housing organisation for suitable for a private rental tenancy provided floating support is available.

                                       iii.    Use a hotel or accommodation block for those who need intensive onsite support that can best be provided in such a setting alongside security.

                                       iv.    Use no more than 18 spaces between Kingston Point and Hope House as the final accommodation option for those not in the above categories. This will be accompanied by intensive support, boundaries and ways to deal with antisocial behaviour.

(7)  Cabinet recognises that the potential cost of the interim plan is circa. £2.5m and that the Council are working with MHCLG to prepare a bid to the national fund made available for this purpose amounting to £105m, in the event that there remains a shortfall between estimated costs and funding identified, a further report will be prepared for Cabinet to consider prior to entering into any additional financial commitment  .

 

(8)  Cabinet therefore delegates authority to the Assistant Director of Housing, working with the S151 Officer, to submit a bid for the funding to support emergency, interim and long-term accommodation through the mechanism identified in the letter from MHCLG on 24th June 2020 (Appendix 3).

 

(9)  That Cabinet agrees the following as principles for the long-term plan:

 

                                          i.    All those in the interim accommodation to be supported to find move on accommodation and given the opportunity not to return to rough sleeping.

                                        ii.    Accommodation first, not accommodation only approach, with support levels tailored to individuals.

                                       iii.    Developing the accommodation and support model to provide learning and work opportunities.

                                       iv.    A range of accommodation and support ideally located in Portsmouth, based on Government's desire to build, buy and rent homes.

                                        v.    A financially sustainable model.

                                       vi.    An approach that provides accommodation and support into sustainable housing but also supports the prevention of homelessness and those who remain on the streets.

                                      vii.    Evidenced based using all the learning and data available to create solutions.

 

(10)       That Cabinet agrees to ask Government to help it overcome key barriers that may impact on the long term plan, including:

 

                                          i.    Automatically paying Universal Credit to landlords taking part

                                        ii.    Making sure payments cover the full cost of rent or Local Housing Allowance, whichever is higher

                                       iii.    Suspend the rule that means under-35s claim at a single room rate

                                       iv.    Work with the City Council to devise plans to help future rough sleepers and to prevent homelessness

                                        v.    Assist in helping the city house those on the waiting list and the homeless the City Council has statutory duties towards.

 

(11)       That Cabinet request the Portsmouth City Rough Sleeping Partnership Group to develop the long term plan, based on these principles, as outlined in the report.

Board Composition of Portsmouth City Council Companies pdf icon PDF 467 KB

 

The report by the City Solicitor (with exempt appendix A circulated separately to Cabinet Members) sets out the basis upon which it is necessary and prudent to structure the Ravelin Group of companies. The basis for this is to provide an appropriate vehicle to enable company activity to occur that is efficient, legally accountable and transparent.

(2)       In accordance with the protocol at Appendix A, that the following be approved in respect of the Ravelin Group companies:

 

(i)         A shareholder committee is established and is responsible for the oversight of the Ravelin Group companies and all other future company subsidiaries (where relevant).

 

(ii)        The Ravelin Group Shareholder Committee and draft terms of reference set out in detail in Appendix B are approved.

 

(iii)       Following the approval of the establishment of the Ravelin Group shareholder committee the previous delegations as contained within the cabinet decision meeting dated 26 February 2019 shall cease and the shareholder committee shall become the sole body exercising the shareholder functions of Ravelin Group companies.

 

(iv)      Any amendments to finalise  the corporate structure of the Ravelin Group and all relevant subsidiaries required to maximise the tax efficiency of the Ravelin Group and any other PCC companies is delegated to the City Solicitor in consultation with the Leader of the Council and the S.151 Officer.
