Extension of Mobile Warden Scheme Grant Period - Lesley McFarlane pdf icon PDF 247 KB

Minutes:

The committee noted the content of the report.

 

The Chairman commented that DBS checks should be mandatory for all Mobile Warden Schemes and receive training for the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and that there were day courses available for this.

 

Cllr John Williams highlighted an issue of officer capacity if all grants are refreshed every three years at the same time; it was suggested that these should be staggered over the three-year period.

 

Having regard to this, the committee agreed option 4 of the report to avoid overlap with Service Support Grants.

 

It was agreed that new schemes should be assessed at the time of application and then phased into a rolling three-year renewal programme.

 

The committee noted that for any new Mobile Warden Scheme applications, the council would underwrite their costs for the first two years of the programme and thereafter the scheme would apply for grant funding, as per the existing application process.
