a)To accept £65,000 of funding from Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) for the continuation of the Wellbeing Hubs in primary schools scheme and to allocate funding to schools who are delivering the scheme.
b)To accept £7,200 from the Active Essex Foundation to deliver Relax Kids within Wellbeing Hubs in primary schools to provide physical activity as part of the offer and to allocate funding to Relax Kids to deliver this.
c)To accept the uplift funding from Essex County Council Public Health Team for the Public Health Practitioner post (£1606) and for work to be undertaken by the post (£5696) so that the total annual funding is £23,606 for the post and £49,642 for work to be undertaken by the post.

a)Wellbeing Hubs in primary schools provide an early intervention and prevention model to support children who are showing early signs of emotional difficulties. Originally funded by the North East Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance, following evaluation by Essex University the ICB decided to provide further funding to support young people’s mental health.
It is therefore proposed to accept the funding so as to continue to deliver improvements in young people’s mental health.
b) The Active Essex Foundation provided funding to build on the Wellbeing Hubs work by incorporating physical activity into the programme. As this will increase the reach of the programme and support improvements in the mental health of young people it is proposed to accept the funding.
c) Essex County Council’s Public Health team provide funding to joint fund with Tendring District Council a Public Health Practitioner as they understand the importance of delivering public health at a local level. This funding is subject to a Memorandum of Understanding and a previous decision agreed to sign the MOU and accept the funding at that time https://tdc-mgov-prd-01.tendringdc.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=12836 It is therefore proposed to accept the uplift and therefore new amount of funding.

a) To not accept the funding from the ICB although this would mean the work has to stop and there would be less investment in improving young people’s mental health.
b) To not accept the funding from the Active Essex Foundation although this would mean there would be a reduced offer in trying to support improvements in young people’s mental health
c) To not accept the uplift funding although this would mean there is less funding to support the post and work undertaken by the post to improve public health within Tendring
