Survey for adults and young people in East Riding of Yorkshire
We have been commissioned by East Riding Council to do a piece of scoping work looking at the provision of community activities and support for young people in some of our most rural areas. This work will contribute to potential future commissioning decisions around additional services and activities for these communities.
Please see below for a link that will take you to the short survey, we would like as many young people and trusted adults working in the East Riding to fill this in as possible. The closing date for this survey is noon Tuesday 12th April.
On Wednesday 20th April, Active Humber and North Yorkshire Sport are running a free online workshop to help clubs become more welcoming, friendly, accessible and inclusive!
All the data shows us that stubborn inequalities exist in sport, and certain groups of people face more barriers than others to participate. We know that the huge disruption of 2020 has further reinforced or exacerbated these inequalities, particularly for people with disabilities or long term health conditions, people from lower socio economic groups and people from ethnically diverse communities.
Workshop outcomes:
Identify the barriers people face in accessing club opportunities as participants and volunteers.
Understand the need for positive action.
Outline the building blocks of an inclusive club.
Identify how your club can create a more positive environment that would enable a diverse range of people to be engaged and retained as participants and volunteers.
Workshop Information:

Home Start Goole & District – ‘Prep Course’
Home-Start is a charity that supports families when they need that little bit of extra help. A family can request the support if they have a child under 8. The support can be for anything from financial worries, routines, relationship breakdowns, illness, multiple births, or just because being a parent can be really tough and tiring sometimes!
We have been well-established in Goole for over 26 years and in recent years we are really pleased to have started to cover areas in and around Selby.
We support families with home-visiting volunteers who offer support, friendship and practical help, and we are now recruiting for the next Volunteer Training Course which is running in May. We currently have a lot more families needing support than we have volunteers, if you could spare a few hours a week, you could really make a difference!
For more information about support or volunteering call 01405 769966, text 07534 369783 or email office@hsgoole.org.uk

National Voluntary Sector Updates
NAVCA Update
How charities and civil society can support Ukraine
We have all been horrified by the current events in Ukraine, and are looking at the ways we can most effectively help people that are affected by the conflict. Donating cash, rather than items, is the best way to help people in humanitarian crises such as this. This means that charities and local organisations can choose the resources that will be most helpful to them.
NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) have posted a guide on ‘How charities and civil society can support Ukraine’, which you can access here.
London Plus has created a list of organisations to signpost support for those affected by the crisis in Ukraine. This includes charities and community groups. You can access the list here.
New research published on integrating digital volunteer systems
A report on integrating digital volunteer platforms in the Liverpool City Region has been published, drawing on the experiences of NAVCA members in the region, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
NAVCA members One Knowsley, Liverpool CVS, Community Action Wirral, Sefton CVS, Halton and St Helens Voluntary and Community Action, with VS6 and VSNW, have recently taken part in some important research on the relationship between the NHS Volunteer Responders programme and other digital volunteer services.
The NHS Volunteer Responders Scheme was established by the NHS and Royal Voluntary Service during the Covid-19 pandemic, to provide much needed support to individuals isolating and staying at home. The new report explores why and how local Liverpool City Region volunteering systems could be integrated into a single platform that offers the most sustainable and resilient service for the people of the Liverpool City Region.
‘Get the Jump’ is a new Skills for Life campaign from the Department for Education, which aims to help every young person understand what their post-16 and post-18 education and training choices are, and to ultimately help them land their dream job.
For a 14-19-year-old, making a decision today that they think could affect the rest of their life can be overwhelming. With either too much or not enough information about their choices, many young people find it hard to move forward confidently, either taking the ‘safe’ and tried and tested routes such as A levels, BTECS and university, or settling for a path they perhaps wouldn’t have, had they known what else is out there for them.
Get the Jump provides everything they need to know about the education and training choices available, turning what young people see as a giant leap of faith into smaller, more manageable next steps.
East Riding Voluntary Action Services (ERVAS) Ltd, in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership and the East Riding Safeguarding Adults Board, offers additional support to all voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) groups and organizations working with children, young people and adults, in order to ensure they are able to meet their safeguarding responsibilities and keep people safe.
ERVAS offers a range of support to the VCSE sector in regard to developing safeguarding policies and procedures, as well as providing access to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, (formerly CRB checks), which are processed on line using our umbrella body U-Check (can you put a direct link to U-Check here so they can check them out themselves) and priced at a competitive rate, as well as providing a variety of policy templates, including those related to safeguarding and links to reputable insurance brokers who specialise in voluntary activity. (can you put the insurance company link here that you sent around the other week)
ERVAS are also able to provide the VCSE sector with the following –
Access to our policy templates and related information, including explanatory videos, here: (can you put the link to the policies and procedures page in here, does this also include the videos about being fit for purpose, I think Sarah did one before she left)
Access to a range of appropriate safeguarding related training (link here)
Regular information from a variety of safeguarding sources via our fortnightly E-bulletin, and social media (put info here as to how they do that)
Access to Information events and conferences covering a range of safeguarding topics, both face to face and online
Partnership developments, particularly in regard to working more closely with the East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership and the East Riding Safeguarding Adults Board
Membership of useful networks, including the East Riding VCSE Safeguarding Forum (I might like to have a link to a page about this, where I can share minutes and papers and other info related to the forum as it progresses)
If your group or organization doesn’t have all the essential criteria in place, we are more than happy to send you our toolkit containing all safeguarding children and vulnerable adult policy documents and accompanying information, or we can arrange a one to one visit with your group if you would prefer, to discuss your specific needs.
If you would like further information as to how your VCSE group or organisation can ensure it’s doing all it can to keep people safe, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the ERVAS team on 01482 871077 or email office@ervas.org.uk.

Independent Advocacy Change in provider as from 1 April 2022
Changes to advocacy services in East Riding of Yorkshire:
VoiceAbility will become the new advocacy provider from 1 April 2022 for people in East Riding of Yorkshire.
They will support people to have their views heard and rights respected. Their services are free, independent and confidential.
From this date, you and the people we support will be able to use their single set of contact details for referrals and enquiries about all their advocacy services:
VoiceAbility have been working alongside the current provider Cloverleaf to communicate the changes with clients and where ongoing advocacy support is required clients will be transferred over to the new provider VoiceAbility as of the 1st of April. Please see the attached communication letter that is being discussed with existing clients.
Who can VoiceAbility support across East Riding of Yorkshire?
VoiceAbility will be offering specialist advocacy support to adults with mental health issues, learning disabilities, dementia, acquired brain injury or other disabilities as well as supporting carers.
You can visit their website www.voiceability.org to check eligibility for each statutory service. If you’re unsure or have questions about advocacy types, you should contact them.
Your duty to refer for advocacy
Advocacy is about making sure that people’s thoughts and opinions are heard, especially when decisions are being made about their lives.
Independent advocacy is a statutory right for people who, without independent support, are unable to be involved in making important decisions about their lives.
Professionals have a duty to refer eligible people for advocacy under the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, Children Act and the Mental Health Act.
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is committed to raising awareness and promoting the responsibility to help protect and safeguard adults from abuse or neglect.
As part of the Safeguarding Adults Team redesign which launched on 1st February 2022, we are developing a Safeguarding Champion Model. We are looking for a number of ‘Safeguarding Champions’ from across the East Riding to work collectively and individually in their own teams, service areas or organisations to promote the safeguarding agenda of the Council and the East Riding Safeguarding Adult’s Board, learning from each other, disseminating good practice, and strengthening understanding of safeguarding across the region.
This is where the role of the Safeguarding Champion is essential in ensuring that the basic principles of safeguarding remain a regular feature within their teams agenda so that ‘safeguarding’ becomes embedded into core business, and all staff know who to talk to and what to do should they have a concern.
We are asking for teams, service areas and organisations to nominate an individual who will act as a “Safeguarding Champion” who become a member of an MS teams’ group, expectations of the role of the Safeguarding Champion are detailed below:
To act as a resource and a point of contact for colleagues who require support and guidance with safeguarding issues. However it is not the role of the Safeguarding Champion to be responsible for the submission of referrals on behalf of the service area.
To cascade/disseminate safeguarding information received on the MS teams platform to colleagues within their team, service area or organisation.
To maintain safeguarding as a standing agenda item at team meetings.
To support staff in identifying those in need of protection and assist in their understanding of the action they need to take.
To maintain an awareness of the Council’s policy and procedures in relation to Safeguarding including the referral processes to be followed internally within the organisation.
To encourage colleagues to recognise and be aware of trends and themes within their area and communicate these as appropriate to their line manager and safeguarding leads.
To support awareness around Safeguarding by participating in activities around Safeguarding week in June and November
To raise awareness around Safeguarding themes such as Modern-Day Slavery/Domestic Violence and campaigns and events which will be shared via the MS teams group
All Safeguarding Champions will be able to access the East Riding Safeguarding Adults Board Safeguarding Level 1 training which contains basic safeguarding awareness information and outlines the reporting pathways should you or your team or service have concerns. Further training events are currently being developed.
If you are interested in becoming a Safeguarding Champion on behalf of your team, service area or organisation please register your interest by emailing asc.development@eastriding.gov.ukby Friday 22 April 2022.
The MS teams platform will be launched from Tuesday 3rd May 2022.
