the proceedings, set the scene. She illustrated the incompatibility of early motherhood and

imprisonment; that normal things associated with becoming a mother such as being made to feel

special, celebrating and having some allowances made for you, are prohibited in prison. New

mothers in prison are only allowed six weeks off work or education, as opposed to the year to which

mums in the community are entitled.

The first speaker was Naomi Delap, Director of Birth Companions. The organisation began with a

group of antenatal teachers who came together in support of women in HMP Holloway who had no

one to accompany them during child birth. 20 years later in 2016, following David Cameron’s high

profile acknowledgement of the needs of women in prison, the Birth Companions Charter was

launched. It highlights and aims to standardise good practice in prisons order to ensure the safety

and wellbeing of women and their babies. The hope is that there will be a prison service order for

perinatal women. This early intervention approach would improve outcomes for women and

children and create future savings to the public purse.

In a similar vein, the following presentation from Laura Abbott (ex-midwife, lecturer and doctorate

student at the University of Hertfordshire) focused on her research of pregnant women in

prisons.100 babies are born in prison each year and only 50% of mothers and babies able to stay

together. 80% of mothers in prison have mental health problems and many have experienced

domestic abuse. Laura went on to share the varied experiences of mothers in prison; one woman hid

her pregnancy for fear of other women’s reactions and intentions.

Another, like many women, found out she was pregnant upon reception into prison. She felt

very uncertain about what would happen during the birth, who would be there, whether she would

be alone, if she could breast feed and who would care for her baby. Another participant was only

able to breast feed for three weeks before she was separated from her child upon being sentenced

to prison. Laura stressed the emotional turmoil experienced by women recently separated from

their babies when they are locked up in their cells for most of the day due to not being enrolled in

prison education or work scheme. Despite all this, Laura’s research highlights perinatal women’s

appreciation of small acts of kindness and understanding from prison officers.

The third speaker was Anastasia Chamberlen from Warwick University who had also conducted

research in women’s’ prisons. Her talk focused on the subjective embodied experience of

imprisonment to explore the intersection between gender and punishment. Motherhood arose in

her research within various themes, one being self-harm. Anna noted that women sometimes begin

self-harming in prison as a result of being separated from family and then have to hide the scars

from their children and families during visits or upon release. This harsh reality was corroborated by

those in the audience who had lived and worked in female prisons. Mirroring the sentiments

of Laura's presentation, Anna stressed that mothers in prison are often “more vulnerable than

criminal”.

Lucy Baldwin (ex-probation officer, lecturer in criminology and author of Mothering Justice) gave a

more child-focused presentation. She began by reminding us that an estimated 18,000 children are

separated from imprisoned mothers each year and asserted that in general, women’s sentences are

unfair on children. During one prison visit Lucy observed a child fall over and a mother who

was prevented from physically comforting them. For older children, not having a Mum around can

mean a lack of crucial life advice and for some children having a grandmother go to prison can be

detrimental. Lucy reminded us that motherhood can be simultaneously the most poignant and most

judged aspect of a woman’s identity.

Anne Fox later highlighted that not recognising this is a missed opportunity for reducing reoffending,

failing the women, families and wider criminal justice system. Lucy recalled a research participant

who was a proud mother of five whose probation officer had never asked her about her relationship

with her children. The event attendees agreed that high quality contact between mothers in prison

and their children is needed for effective reintegration back into family life upon release. The

audience learned of Ireland’s good practice; mothers’ prison sentences can be deferred if deemed

harmful to children. Mothers are also given free stamps and six minutes of phone credit per day in

order to maintain family ties.

The last speaker was ex-barrister Shona Minson from the Centre for Criminology at the University of

Cambridge. Her research looked from a children’s rights perspective at imprisoned primary carers in

England and Wales. Shona noted the harms to children when a mother is imprisoned including poor

educational experiences, lowered wellbeing, stigma and discrimination. Each aspect of the parent

and child relationship is regulated by the prison which can be at odds with the best interests of the

child. Visits may only be possible during school hours and attending may be a lengthy and costly

process, taxi fares are not covered by the Assisted Prison Visits Scheme causing young people and

families to face costly journeys from the train or bus station to the prison gates as these routes are

not commonly covered by public transport, and some children may not even be allowed contact

with their mother at all.

“Every aspect of children’s lives”, Shona stressed, “is affected in the immediate and long term”.

Despite these negative impacts, children are often not asked about how they are affected. A 16 year

old participant in Shona’s study laughed when asked how he felt about his mum going to prison as

no one had ever talked to him about this before.

Discussions at the event recognised that prisons are struggling due to austerity. Important points

were made about staff shortages leading to untrained prison officers making assessments about the

health and labour status of women in their care. There was also recognition of the ‘emotion work’

needed from prison officers working with perinatal women.

There was a general agreement amongst speakers and attendees for the need for significant

reduction in imprisoning primary caregiving mothers. Comments centred on putting an end to

disruptive short prison sentences for women and increasing community programmes, as

recommended by Baroness Jean Corston 10 years ago in her seminal review of the female secure

estate. i-HOP’s take on this event centers on a few things; a belief that people can change and in the

legitimacy of parenthood regardless of gender or imprisonment. With these sentiments in mind we

can work towards improving the wellbeing and outcomes for the children of imprisoned parents.

Mental Health Recovery and Employment Service (Birmingham)

NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS

Mental Health Recovery and Employment services will be combined and provided under one

contract as part of an integrated service, which will enable services to work in a co-ordinated

fashion.

Whilst a number of definitions of Recovery are available the definition provided by the Centre for

Mental Health is used for the purpose of this specification. A revised or alternative local definition

may be adopted going forward:

Agency - gaining a sense of control over one's life and one's illness. Finding personal meaning - an

identity which incorporates illness, but retains a positive sense of self.

Opportunity - building a life beyond illness. Using non-mental health agencies, informal supports and

natural social networks to achieve integration and social inclusion.

Hope - believing that one can still pursue one's own hopes and dreams, even with the continuing

presence of illness. Not settling for less, i.e. the reduced expectations of others

Whilst the principles of recovery should inform all parts of the mental health system the Recovery

and Employment Service will offer a range of practical support to assist individuals with serious

mental illness (SMI) on their journey of recovery. This specification details two core service elements

(Recovery Centres and Individual Placement Support). Whilst these elements are set out separately

it is anticipated that they will be provided in an integrated and aligned manner.

(A) The Recovery Centre offer will be aligned to the four newly created integrated community

mental health services in Birmingham for adults over 25 Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS

Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) and the Forward Thinking Birmingham (FTB) community hubs. The

service will offer a 1:1 recovery support planning to include a Personal Health Budget (PHB) function

and recovery focused activities based on a Recovery College model and supports the development of

peer-led support networks and groups.

The service will use Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) assessment framework to monitor individual's

recovery. The brokerage function involves the 1:1 personal support aspect of the service supporting

people to plan how their budget could be effectively spent to meet their desired outcomes.

(B) A full fidelity Individual Placement Support Service for individuals aged over 18 to be integrated

into community mental health services within Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS

Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) and Forward Thinking Birmingham (FTB) hubs, partly based on an

outcomes based contracting model which will be used to link funding to the achievement of

outcomes.

The duration of the contract is 3 years with a 2 year extension option (maximum 5 years). The

contract value over a 3 year period is expected to be circa £5,248,363.01, but may increase to

£5,372,972.09 subject to achievement of CQUIN targets. Should extension option be activated and

CQUIN targets achieved then over 5 years maximum contract value could be circa £8,954,953.48.

Development Of Armed Forces Training Packages For LA Members And Staff

WLGA

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the Nation that those who serve or have served in the

armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. For communities, the Armed Forces Covenant is a

promise of mutual support between a civilian community and it’s local armed forces community.

The WLGA has recently received funding from the MOD Covenant Fund, under the Strengthening

Local Government Delivery of the Covenant Priority, to fund a national project to support the

successful delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant at a local, regional and all-Wales level to achieve

improved outcomes for the Armed Forces Community. It will develop a number of resources for use

by local authorities to help increase understanding, improve consistency of message and avoid

duplication in delivering Covenant commitments.

Four regions in Wales have also received funding from the MOD Covenant Fund and this national

project will compliment the work being undertaken by local authorities regionally and will need to

link appropriately

The objective of this piece of work is to help raise awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant and

issues affecting the Armed Forces Community by:

Developing training packages available in different formats and including trainer notes which

are aimed at different audiences namely: elected members, local authority frontline staff,

and local authority departmental leads; and

Providing 4 ‘Train the Trainers’ sessions across Wales to support the roll-out of training

As a Schedule 3 (“Light Touch”) service the Contracting authorities with the need for Apprenticeship

Training can decide how to procure via the Dynamic Purchasing system, either by further

competition with a split of quality and price or by further competition by price only. This will be

determined by each named authority as the need arises. The numbers, volumes and types of

Apprentices will vary from Authority to Authority.

Estimate Levy figures for each Authority per annum are as follows: Please note that these figures are

estimates of the total levy each organisation will pay and are not an indication of actual spend.

Support Limited) £111,000 Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority £150,000 Christchurch

Borough Council £12,500 East Dorset District Council £12,000 These amounts are not, however, an

indication of spend, and are purely given for reference, and this is for the total per year, over the

lifetime of the Dynamic Purchasing System and not per lot.

The payment is also likely to fluctuate as it is based on headcount each year on April 1st. Volumes of

apprentices anticipated by each authority is as follows, this includes Public Sector Duty: Dorset

APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING PROVISION – REPUBLICATION

Leeds City Council

The procurement of Training Provision to a 2 Year Framework Agreement to enable delivery of

Apprenticeship training at Leeds.

Lot 1 – Business Administration

Business Administration within the Council is a significant service function with a regular turnover.

The resource is centrally managed but allocated across services. We have had recent success in this

area with 91% of apprentices successfully completing and either moving on to further study or

employment and we would look to continue this good work. We require provision of Level 2 and 3 in

Business administration from a provider with excellent achievement levels.

Lot 2 – Construction

Traditionally Leeds Building Services have recruited apprentices to resource their workforce at the

entry level. These start with a 14 month QCF apprenticeship which covers a range of trades which

are generally completed prior to staff electing a preferred trade apprenticeship. Learners then go on

to specialise in a given Trade apprenticeships at Levels 2 and 3 and these may increase in future

(frameworks/standards include those in carpentry, plumbing, electro-technical, plastering and

painting and decorating).

Training Providers should have good quality provision for practical elements of the apprenticeship in

a location within easy reach of Leeds. This lot also covers the business needs of our Highways service

that currently require delivery of Construction Operations & Civil Engineering, also Intermediate and

advanced Civil Engineering and may extend to further highways related skills at a future date.

Following the practical vain of this lot our Fleet service requires delivery of Heavy Vehicle

Maintenance and Repair, Level 2 & 3 which should likewise have suitable practical provision.

Lot 3 – Customer service

Our customer service provision across the Council is large scale covering our call centre, community

hubs and libraries and other service areas that come into contact with community or visitors. It is

hoped that in time, apprenticeships may form the entry route to roles across the service. However at

mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]://procontract.due-north.com/RfxResponse/Index?rfxId=07509d15-0663-e711-80e3-005056b64545https://procontract.due-north.com/RfxResponse/Index?rfxId=07509d15-0663-e711-80e3-005056b64545

Patron Member

this time commitment is ring fenced to the contact centre where core customer service skills are

required to deliver a first point of contact service. Apprenticeships will provide the building blocks

for career progression and aid retention in a fast moving field. Customer Service Level 2 and 3 is

required for this Lot.

Lot 4 – Health & Social Care

Training and development within Adult Social Care has been a solid provision for some years and

more recently apprenticeships are featuring highly as a main form of entry level recruitment.

One of our priorities is to upskill our current workforce and deliver transformational roles through

apprenticeships, we will also provide Apprenticeship support to Private, Independent, and Third

Sector Social Care organisations. In the short to medium term we want to deliver the new

apprenticeship standards from Level 2 to Level 5 in Health and Social Care. In addition to this we are

looking for a training provider who will be able to deliver higher level degree apprenticeships.

This lot is also looking for strong provision for Children’s Services with a wide range of current and

future requirements covering courses between Level 2 and 7 in a range of Children and Young

People’s standards, including level 4 and level 5 ‘working with children and young people,’ childcare,

Early Years Educators (in future we may consider standards in Occupational Therapy once these are

approved and ready for delivery). Our Children and Families service are also keen to develop and

adopt new and higher level standards including a level 7 apprenticeship in leadership and

management.

Lot 5 – ICT

Digital skills are an ever growing area. As a Council we have employed a proportion of entry level ICT

posts as apprenticeships over the last few years, focusing mainly on Microsoft and networking skills.

In a bid to develop our apprenticeship offer we are also seeking to convert ICT degree courses that

we have supported and as such would be looking for a provider that could cover both the Level 2/3

and also higher degree level ICT courses.

Lot 6 – Legal

Our Legal services are keen to provide a clear progression pathway for a career in Legal within the

Council. This will involve Legal apprenticeships which will include Level 3 para legal up to Level 6.

Professional Legal accreditation must be achieved at the outcome of the apprenticeship.

Lot 7 - Sport & Leisure

Sport and Active Recreation have an active training ethos and are keen to develop their staff where

ever they see the potential. Training providers would be expected to deliver the breadth of sports &

recreational related apprenticeships including leisure operations, leisure duty manager, Personal

Training, gym instruction and Activity Leadership. Training must be delivered flexibly and be mindful

of shift patterns.

16/07/2017

Patron Member

Although less developed the Council are considering extending their offer in more of the Leisure and

arts areas including libraries, museums and theatres, we would be interested in providers who could

cover the breadth of this lot.

Lot 8 - Professional Support services

This lot covers the range of support services functions and associated apprenticeship training (those

that fall outside of ICT and Legal specialisms). This will include apprenticeship equivalents to

professional qualifications including Finance, HR, and Projects & Procurement including

accreditations to; AAT, CIPFA, CIPD, CIPS and APMP. Standards & Frameworks will range from Level 2

to 7 and cover AAT 2-4, and professional Accountant Level 7, when released. Also required are HR

standards levels 3 to 7, as and when these are available for delivery.

For our Projects & Procurement Unit the business requires Project Management and Public Sector

Commercial and Professional Level 4 standard. Accreditations to professional bodies must be

achieved at the outcome of the qualification.

Lot 9 - Leadership & Management

Leadership and management training has traditionally been provided across services and across

levels to fill skills gaps and develop rising talent. In the past this has been supported through training

and development budgets. With part of the budget now dedicated to pay the apprenticeship levy it

is important that where possible Leadership and management apprenticeships are utilised instead of

traditional routes. The Council is keen to provide a solid career progression through Leadership &

Management and so requires delivery of Levels 3 to 6.

Lot 10 - Facilities & Services

We have a number of other front line services that lend themselves very well to recruiting

apprentices these incorporate manual services such as Parks, including; Land based studies with our

Parks and Countryside service, delivery required in frameworks/standards covering Horticulture,

Land Based Engineering and General Gardening Operations. Our Housing Service are also keen to

provide a clear career pathway within the service and to initially provide introductory numbers of

apprenticeships to support this. These will include Level 2 standard Housing Property Management

Assistant, Level 3 Housing Property Management, in time Level 4 in Senior Housing Property

Management and possibly Level 6 Housing qualifications in the future.

Lot 11 - Schools

Schools in Leeds are specifically looking for high quality education based apprenticeships that enable

them to benefit from the levy fund in their sector. These would naturally include Schools Business

Director/Manager, Early Years practitioner, various support roles (eg Technicians, Caretaking,

Catering, Administration) and once developed, Teaching Assistant and Teacher apprenticeships.




21


16/07/2017

Patron Member

Training Providers bidding for this lot should be comfortable to deliver in a flexible way that may

accommodate schools working together in clusters and alliances.

NEW STANDARDS & COURSES

As the legislation is new, and there are gaps in available standards in some business delivery areas,

training providers who tender for this contract should outline how they will engage in discussions to

assist the Council to develop new standards and courses where relevant. This will include training

designed to upskill current employees as well as new recruits. Where courses already exist the

Council requires that there is scope to negotiate on course content to ensure the most appropriate

course is being delivered for our business needs. Tenders are expected to outline how possible this

might be.

END POINT ASSESSMENT

It is expected that under the Framework contract, the successful Training providers will be

responsible for arranging end point assessment for the courses they are commissioned to teach. It is

necessary that this is an independent organisation so that all apprentices following the same

standard are assessed consistently. The end point assessor must be signed up to the register for

apprentice assessment organisations.

Estimated value £5,200,000.00

Healthy London Partnership is keen to test the potential provider market for a Pan London

practice manager development training Service.

development training.

providers.

The purpose of this event is to have an opportunity to meet with potential providers and

stakeholders together in an informal and dynamic atmosphere to discuss and explore how such a

service could best benefit the development of practice managers working in London, and to

innovation.

We hope that this event will provide potential providers with an insight into the service HLP want to

commission and give them an opportunity to ask questions an seek clarification where necessary. It

will also be an ideal opportunity for providers to express their thoughts on what an ideal service

should provide and ideas on how these recommendations can be implemented and delivered.
