BACKGROUND TO THE MOU. The Service Provider outlined in this MoU is responsible for managing the NHS Jobs service. This MOU is required to outline the responsibilities of the Service Provider and the Authority.
BACKGROUND TO THE MOU. 2.1. In December 2016, the government published Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx’x independent review of the youth justice system alongside the government response. The government recognised that the youth justice system needed reform and responded by making a number of changes, including: o the creation of a Youth Custody Service within Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) o a reform programme focussing on improving custody o the transfer of secure commissioning functions from the YJB to the Ministry of Justice.
2.2. Consequently, the YJB has undergone a significant period of change. Following the transfer of functions, the YJB completed an internal restructure to allow the organisation to best deliver the Board’s new priorities while maintaining its statutory obligations. The YJB has now re-focused on its core principles as a provider of expert, independent advice to ministers and to support outstanding practice in the youth justice sector.
2.3. The YJB is the only official body to have oversight of the whole youth justice system and so, in the context of these changes and the refocussing of the YJB’s work, it is more important than ever before that the YJB works collaboratively with our strategic partners to share intelligence and ensure effective monitoring of youth justice services across England and Wales.
2.4. In April 2018 HMIP made changes to the way they inspect, with a focus on driving improvements in youth offending services, where they are needed. In summary, YOS inspections are based on a risk and random approach. While this means their timing is unpredictable, YOS are inspected approximately every four years. The targeted and intelligence-led approach to these inspections means some YOS can be inspected more frequently. Inspections are based on published standards that cover a broad range of YOT work, including out of court disposals. Some inspections are conducted jointly with other inspectorates due to the holistic nature of youth offending work.
2.5. HMIP rate the quality of services that they inspect. They apply a composite rating for each inspection and also sub-ratings, so that those inspected can see where they have done well and where they can improve. This enables them to improve the quality of the service they are delivering.
2.6. All YOS are expected to produce an improvement plan following their inspections that describes how the HMIP recommendations will be addressed. HMIP will ask the YOS for an update or will conduct a visit in or...
BACKGROUND TO THE MOU. 2.1 This MOU has been developed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of Lead and Partner Organisations and the National Programme Team in the implementation and delivery of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (the "NHS DPP") within partnership geographies. It provides assurance that Lead and Partner Organisations are all engaged in resourcing and delivering the work required and sets out the joint commitment to the NHS DPP.
BACKGROUND TO THE MOU. 2.1 This MOU formally replaces the pre-existing Pooled Budget Agreement between the Parties established in 2006 under which Xxxxxx CCG makes a financial contribution to the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB).
BACKGROUND TO THE MOU. The Secretary of State for Health has established an innovation fund to support a programme of work with other Government Departments, as part of the Department‟s contribution to the Government‟s growth agenda. The Department has set aside £15m for taking forward innovative programmes of work. The funds will be used to fund three distinct projects as agreed with Home Office and Ministry of Justice. One of the key programmes to be funded will be street triage projects in nine English police forces. The police have the power, under section 136 of the Mental Health Act, to detain people who in a place to which the public have access, appear to have a mental disorder and to be in immediate need of care or control. In these cases, the police must take the person to a place of safety where their mental health can be properly assessed. Street triage refers to a service where clinical mental health professionals accompany or assist police at these and other similar incidents. The mental health professionals will assist in ensuring the best option for the individuals in crisis. They will do this by offering professional advice on the spot, accessing health information systems, and helping to liaise with other care services to identify the right kind of support required. The object will be to demonstrate that this approach can lead to more timely intervention by mental health professionals which will help reduce unnecessary detentions for people, particularly in police stations. The aim is for better outcomes for these individuals as well as achieving a substantial cost saving for police services. The Department of Health will make payments direct to Police forces, supported by a Memorandum of Understanding in each case.
