  1. EARLY INTERVENTION GRANT 2012/ 13 Bridget Atkins Newcastle City Council

  2. EIG process 2011 Lessons learned from process in 2011 Due to timescale we had to strike a balance between: i) providing funding stability to VCS in difficult environment, and ii) ensuring continuity of services for vulnerable children, young people and families But this limited opportunities for new services or new commissioning

  3. Performance management EIG 2011/12 introduced new performance framework for all providers, followed feedback that performance measures were variable Performance framework links into new performance framework for Children’s Trust Need to ensure delivery for public money, ensure impact on priority areas of CYPP, and positive outcomes for children, young people Improve readiness of sector for performance related funding and move towards outcomes and impact rather than outputs

  4. EIG and Newcastle Fund • Still not ideal as timescales are not aligned • Some duplication and overlap has been eliminated that existed in 2010/ 11 processes • Newcastle Fund will not be the entry route into EIG, processes will be kept distinct for 2012/ 13

  5. EIG process 2012/ 13 Started planning process earlier for 2012/ 13 but proposals have to run alongside Council budget processes Considered EIG funding allocations in 6 themes as per Government guidelines: Sure Start and Places for deprived 2 yr olds Short Breaks TAMHS and health outcomes Support to families with complex needs Services for vulnerable young people

  6. EIG process 2012/ 13 Future of EIG beyond 2013 remains uncertain Indicative budget for 2012/ 13 shows increase of £262K on 2011/ 12 but is set against rising costs, inflation, potential increase in need and Government expectations of EIG • For example: expansion of places for deprived 2 year olds, etc Need to avoid large scale recommissioning because of uncertainty and to safeguard critical services

  7. EIG process 2012/ 13 • It is anticipated this the approach in 3 of the themes will be: • Manage increased demands on budget by looking for further efficiency savings • Clearer specifications about what should be delivered • Negotiations with specific partners about what is required and resource available • Services for vulnerable young people has been identified as an area where we will undertake recommissioning

  8. EIG process 2012/ 13 Timescale: • Council budget proposals published in early December • Procurement committee and scrutiny in early December • Consultation activity through December to inform specifications • Negotiations with providers in New Year • Tender opportunities anticipated for January
