A new policy but linked to the Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy 2013-2016 (Priority 4)

b. What are the aims and purpose of this proposal?

A new community approach to building resilience, social capital & personalisation in Sutton – with the aim that ‘communities and individuals are able to look after themselves; their

families; each other and the place they live’. By early intervention and building strong communities this will reduce or delay the need for statutory interventions

c. Which of the geographic areas does this proposal affect? (insert any specific wards or state all borough)

targeted approaches specifically to support vulnerable people as determined by the evidence from the JSNA.

c. What evidence has been collected to inform this proposal?

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2013; Census 2011 Data

d. What equality-related information, for example through consultation with stakeholders, has been gathered on this proposal? (indicate the type of information gathered and ensure you address ethnicity, disability, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. You can also include people with caring responsibilities. Attach a summary or refer to where the evidence is held.)

Section 2 of the document provides evidence of equality related information that has been identified to date. The document is currently in draft and will be further

developed with users, carers and representative groups.

e. In what ways might the proposal impact positively or negatively on some groups of people? (Please ensure you address ethnicity, disability, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. You can also include people with caring responsibilities.) The Community Wellbeing Programme is a high level document. Its purpose is to provide the background, context and rationale for new ways of working. The range of content covers all groups and it is informed throughout by the JSNA.

As each work stream is developed baseline information will be collected to ensure the benefits being delivered are realised across the equality groups and that negative impacts are identified and addressed at this time.

No negative impacts have been identified to date

f. What will be done to promote equality of opportunity as part of this proposal?

We will monitor the impact of the strategy across all groups through the Local Account and other performance measures such as Public Health indicators.

The Community Wellbeing Programme will impact positively on the physical and mental well being of residents through the delivery of our stated intentions which are evidenced based and focussed on outcomes

The impact of local government budget reductions and the introduction of welfare reforms on household incomes particularly those of vulnerable citizens and carers is one area of concern which will require monitoring. Factors which may mitigate this are the investment in prevention work, skilled social work assessment and development of the community wellbeing programme to increase community assets and resilience.

b. In what way could this proposal have a positive or negative impact on an individual’s opportunity to improve their own health and wellbeing? (e.g ….) If there is a negative impact what action will be taken to mitigate this? What evidence has or will be collected?

The objectives and approach described in the programme together with the stated intentions will have a positive impact on an individual’s opportunity to improve their health and well being. This is the ultimate intended outcome of the programme.

c. In what way could this proposal positively or negatively impact disproportionally on the health and wellbeing of one or more different communities? (e.g. improve the lives and health of a vulnerable group such as people with learning disabilities). If there is a negative impact what action will be taken to mitigate this?

The approach set out in the programme will have positive impacts for Sutton citizens across all groups. These will be monitored as part of the programme.

The aim of the programme is to have a positive impact upon employment opportunities (paid and unpaid)

c. Does this proposal provide opportunities for the third sector organisations and or local businesses in Sutton?

The Council is continuing to make a significant shift from a direct provider

of services to commissioner. For example, the majority of services commissioned in Adult Social Services are from independent and third sector organisations. Council

procurement processes ensure a level playing field, creating opportunities for local organisations and businesses. In addition. citizens using personal

budgets, that can also be taken as direct payments, can choose to spend these in different ways, creating further opportunities for local business to respond to opportunities to provide services that people want

Section 6: Actions and Publications

a. Please rate the overall impact identified through this assessment with the level of action that needs to be taken (delete as appropriate):

1.

No major change required (when the assessment has not identified any potential for discrimination or adverse impact and all opportunities to advance equality have been taken.)

2.

Adjustments to remove barriers identified by the assessment or to better advance equality. (Are you satisfied that the proposed adjustments will remove the barriers identified?)

3.

Continue despite having identified some potential for adverse impacts or missed opportunities to advance equality. (In this case, the justification should be included in the assessment and should be in line with the duty to have ‘due regard’. For the most important relevant policies, compelling reasons will be needed. You should consider whether there are sufficient plans to reduce the negative impact and/or plans to monitor the actual impact.)

4.

Stop and rethink (when an assessment shows actual or potential unlawful discrimination)

b. What actions are going to be taken as a result of this IIA to address negative impacts or previously met unidentified needs?

No major change required - The assessment has not identified any potential for discrimination or adverse impact and all opportunities to advance equality have

been taken. However each workstream will reviewed an negative impacts and implement changes as required.

c. What data monitoring or evaluation activity has been put into place to monitor the impact of this proposal?

work.
