A joint working protocol has been developed between Essex Housing Authorities and Children and Families Service in dealing with families at risk of homelessness with dependent children.
The purpose of this protocol is to:
•To improve and promote cooperation and joint working between
the partner agencies.
•To clarify the statutory duties and agreed responsibilities of local
authority housing departments and Children and Families
Service (Children’s Social Care) across the ECC area.
•To jointly assess and meet the needs of families with dependent
children who are facing homelessness or families in receipt of a
negative homeless decision (within the remit of legislation and
the resources available).
•To ensure families secure accommodation that is adequate for
their needs and that future homelessness is prevented by
addressing support needs at the earliest opportunity, promoting
tenancy sustainment.
•To ensure children do not become cared for by Children and
Families Service solely because of a lack of accommodation.
•To establish and clarify an approach agreed by the partner
agencies which will apply across all districts.

The approval, refusal, suspension or revocation of the matter concerned is set out in the attached report.

Clacton Leisure Centre, Walton on the Naze Lifestyles and Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles all have ageing storage containers that are leaking and beyond repair. This concurrence enables a replacement of the current containers across the Leisure Estate. Clacton Leisure Centre currently has two containers, and Dovercourt and Walton have one container at each site. Due to the maximisation of space at all three sites and increased activities, this means that there is very limited storage space within the sites. As such, the best solution is to have container storage that is secure and weather-proof.
As such, a decision has been brough forward to appoint and enter into a contract via purchase order with DC Transport and Engineering to remove four old containers and replace with four new containers across the three Leisure Sites.

A) To agree that an exemption from procurement rules be applied in this instance.
