As part of the roll out of the School
Wellbeing Hubs in Tendring and Colchester, the project plan
included 3 levels of academic evaluation as follows:
Pupil
Parent/Carer
Whole School Culture review
The project in it's entirety, including evaluation work is fully
funded by the CCG after a successful bid from the Council.
Quotes were sought from a number of educational organisations ,
many of which declined to undertake this work due to the pandemic
and a quote was also received from another provider , which was in
excess of the quote from Essex University. Payments to the
university will be staged in accordance to the work completed to
the satisfaction of the Council.
The total cost of this work is £36,785 ( which will be split
into instalments and paid over a period of 2 years , following the
successful completion of the different stages of the work).
Decision Maker: Assistant Director (Partnerships)
Decision published: 29/04/2021
Effective from: 28/04/2021
Decision:
The decision is to work with Essex University
as the local university ensures that the project has different
levels of evaluation over a two year period, so that progress can
be tracked to cover the following:
Pupils
Parents/Carers
Whole school culture
The university will provide the academic rigour and the Council
also has an MOU in place with the provider so that both parties
acknowledge and support each other's priorities.
The University project plan and the Cabinet report relating to
Community Projects are attached. Other documents such as the PID
are available on request. A further update relating to the
Wellbeing Hubs is due to go to Cabinet in May 2021.

To grant use of Wellington Road car park,
Harwich, and to permit parking on Harwich Green, for exclusive use
of Jackson River Films on May 4-5 (car park) and 4-6 (Green)
2021.
Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Operations and Delivery)
Decision published: 29/04/2021
Effective from: 29/04/2021
Decision:
Option 3.
The production company had requested use of Wellington Road car
park on 6 May, but due to its proximity to a polling station on
that day this was refused to ensure access for voters/polling
station staff.
Tendring District Council, as part its Memorandum of Understanding
with Creative England, supports production filming within the
district as being of wider benefit to the local economy; this
aligns with the adopted Creative and Cultural Strategy.
The request will also provide a guaranteed income for two council
assets (a car park and open space) for the days of use, where
ordinarily they may be unused.

Decision:
The Committee was requested to formally agree the date of a further special meeting of the Committee in order to enable Members to consider the remaining items on the Committee’s work programme namely:-
(1) External Auditor’s Audit Plan for the Year Ending 31 March 2021;
(2) External Auditor’s Certification of Claims and Returns Annual Report; and
(3) Update on the Council’s Corporate Risks.
It was:-
RESOLVED that a further special meeting of the Committee be held on Thursday 27 May 2021, commencing at 10.30 a.m.
Decision Maker: Audit Committee
Made at meeting: 22/04/2021 - Audit Committee
Decision published: 27/04/2021
Effective from: 22/04/2021
Decision:
There was submitted a report by the Council’s Assistant Director (Finance & IT)(report A.2) which presented to the Audit Committee for its approval an updated Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy.
It was reported that the Council’s Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy had last been updated in March 2020 and it remained subject to an annual review process which had recently been completed.
An amended strategy was attached as Appendix A to the aforementioned report which reflected a number of minor amendments emerging as part of the annual review process but overall the Strategy remained based on CIPFA’s Code of Practice on managing the risk of fraud and corruption as adopted by the Committee at its meeting held on 22 March 2018. The Strategy set out the Council’s commitments along with the following key areas:
· Purpose, Commitment and Procedure;
· Legislation and General Governance;
· Definitions;
· Standards, Expectations and Commitment;
· Roles and Responsibilities;
· Prevention;
· Detection and Investigation; and
· Resources Invested in Counter Fraud and Corruption.
The intention was to continue to include the scope for prosecutions within the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy itself and include the relevant framework against which prosecutions would be considered. Those changes had been included within the ‘Detection and Investigation’ section of the Strategy. The Strategy would continue to be subject to an annual review process.
Members were informed that the amendments to the Strategy also reflected the response to the COVID 19 pandemic where fraud risks had unfortunately increased during such difficult times. Work remained on-going in terms of lessons learnt from the last 12 months and further changes to the Strategy were likely to be required, especially as relevant regulatory bodies were expected to publish updated anti-fraud and corruption guidance following the COVID 19 pandemic. Subject to the scale and timing of potential changes, a revised Strategy would be presented to the Committee during the year or form part of the annual review early in 2022.
Updates against the Council’s Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy Action Plan were also included within the aforesaid Appendix A.
The Committee formally commended the Officers within Financial Services for putting in place pro-active anti-fraud checks in relation to the issuing of the central Government financed Covid-19 amelioration business grants.
It was moved by Councillor Alexander, seconded by Councillor Fairleyand:-
RESOLVED that the amended Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy, as set out in Appendix A to item A.2 of the Report of the Assistant Director (Finance & IT), be approved, subject to the incorporation within of the minor alterations and additions agreed at the meeting.
