Any forecast/estimate of the proportion (or failing that, number) of council housing tenants in the council area who are affected by the bedroom tax who will fall into rent arrears in 2013/14. To be clear, this is seeking the proportion of council housing tenants affected by the bedroom tax who will fall into arrears. It is not asking what proportion of all council housing tenants will be affected by the bedroom tax. 3. Any over-arching definition or methodology the council has used in determining the number of bedrooms in council housing properties, for the purposes of assessing under-occupation of council housing properties with regards to the bedroom tax housing were asked to provide the number of bedrooms in the property 4.

6. Any forecast/estimate of the proportion (or failing that, number) of registered social landlord tenants in the council area who are affected by the bedroom tax who will fall into rent arrears in 2013/14. To be clear, this is seeking the proportion of RSL tenants affected by the bedroom tax who will fall into arrears. It is not asking what proportion of all RSL tenants will be affected by the bedroom tax. The information may be provided individually for different RSLs, or combined for a number of RSLs, or combined for all RSLs (the preference would be for separate data for different RSLs, but this is not cast in stone). FOI 4664 A 1. At week 47 there were 2,510 tenants in arrears from a total of 6500 tenants. 39% as a proportion. 2. Currently 470 tenants will be affected by bedroom tax due to under-occupancy. It is not possible to establish how many of these will fall into arrears because we are unable to predict this. 3. Slough BC assumes that its properties will have a separate bathroom, kitchen and living room. Other rooms including parlours will be considered as a bedroom unless it does not have access to a hallway (e.g. has access to kitchen), has a gas fire, or is below 50 square feet. 4.

Please can you also inform us as to a) the number of residential properties and b) the number of businesses properties which fall within this local authority. If providing results for the period 1st January – 31st December 2012 is too onerous because it does not correspond with your record-keeping system, please can you provide us with this information for the most recent twelve-month period which does correlate with your system.

FOI 4672 Q I would like to request all Compulsory Purchase Orders which the council have conducted over the past 15 years. Account amounts, the properties involved and who is entitled to the money. I also require details relating to money held on account resulting from Enforced Sales from the past 15 years. Account amounts, the properties involved and who is entitled to the money. FOI 4672 A The situation here is that, having served a notice and placed a charge on a property, the Council may act as mortgagee in possession if the sums due under the charge are not paid. Section 103 of the LPA 1925 gives the power of sale in such circumstances. The Enforced Sale Procedure is a power given under the LPA 1925 S103. It can be used in conjunction with "Works In Default" where notices have been served on owners insisting the works be done and the notice is registered as a local land charge. If these are ignored, then the LA has the right to carry out the works in default of the notice served. I am not aware of any enforced sales other than 49 Lake Avenue, where I understand the proceeds, after costs, have been paid into the Court. Details as follows: Lake Avenue Housing Act 1985 Section 17 Acquisition of Land Act 1981. Slough Borough Council has made a Compulsory Purchase Order dated 26th January 1998 in respect of 49 Lake Avenue. Confirmed by Secretary of State on 30th March 1999.

The eligibility and needs of service users will be considered in shaping the care packages they receive, but we do not label care packages themselves under these categories. We determine eligibility for service users at a variety of points including at original assessment and at subsequent reviews as circumstances change. There are also support packages such as reablement which are offered without rigorous assessment. We use a total of 26 eligibility statements, as a user may have high need on some but lower need on other aspects of life. During 2011-12, a total of 764 people had eligibility statements prepared. Of these, 66 had at least one moderate (but not higher) need, 551 had at least one substantial (but not higher) need, and 75 had at least one Critical need. During the 2012-13 to date (the year is not yet over), a total of 984 people had eligibility statements prepared.

These and other community centres are being used for commissioned youth programmes funded by the local authority and delivered by the voluntary sector c) Organisations delivering the universal commissioned programme have free access to premises for a set period of time calculated to be sufficient for the full programme. However any use above that is charged for. 4. No 5. None. 6. 2011/12 - None, 2012/13 – 24, 2013/14 - 9 7. The level of general fund reserves is £8.1m as at the 31/3/12.

FOI 4683 Q Can you detail how many school crossing patrol officers were funded by your local authority in (a) 2009, (b) 2010, (c) 2011 and (d) 2012? FOI 4683 A I can confirm that Slough Borough Council did not fund any school crossing patrol officers in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Individual schools have paid for their School Crossing Patrols for over 5 years. FOI 4684 Q 1) How many Non Disclosure agreements have been issued following a redundancy payout in the past three years broken down by year - 2010, 2011, 2012 2) How much was the redundancy pay out in each case? 3) How many breaches of Non Disclosure agreements have been recorded? 4) Has any action ever been taken against a former employee for breaching a non-disclosure agreement?

1) How many Compromise agreements have been issued in the past three years broken down by year - 2010, 2011, 2012 2) How much was the pay out in each case? 3) How many breaches of Compromise agreements have been recorded? 4) Has any action ever been taken against a former employee for breaching a non-disclosure agreement? If it is not possible to provide a breakdown of payments please provide over the past three years, making it clear which year they were agreed. FOI 4684 A I would appear that you have made an assumption that the Council enters into compromise agreements for the purposes of non disclosure agreements linked to whistle blowing. I would think that for most local authorities this is not the case why compromise agreements are entered into. The situation is different from what appears to be the case for the NHS. If I am incorrect in this suggestion please could you let me know as I think if you are looking at this area because of the recent interest in whistle blowing departures, it may be helpful to understand why most public authorities enter into such agreements. FOI 4685 Q&A A) How many applications for renewals of Blue Badges for disabled parking were submitted to the Council in the years 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 2009 – 1133 Blue Badge Renewal Applications received. 2010 – 1014 Blue Badge Renewal Applications received. 2011 – 1079 Blue Badge Renewal Applications received. 2012 – 1116 Blue Badge Renewal Applications received.

(2) Is there any outstanding or uncompleted work due to staff shortage? (3) If there is, has the staff shortage created any backlog of work? (4) If there is a backlog, how does the council intend to deal with this problem? FOI 4688 A As you may be aware the FOIA only concerns information which is recorded by, and held by, the local authority. I quote from the ICO website: What can I request? The FOIA gives you a “right to know”. You have a legal right to request any recorded information held by a public authority, such as a government department, local council or state school. • You can ask for any information you think a public authority may hold. The right only covers recorded information. • Your request can be in the form of a question, but the authority does not have to answer your question if this would mean creating new information or giving an opinion or judgement that is not already recorded. • You should clearly identify the information you want. • Some information may not be given to you because it is exempt, for example because it would unfairly reveal personal details about somebody else. I have checked and can confirm that the information you have requested is not written information held by the Council. FOI 4689 Q What is the percentage of PCN appeals that are allowed and how the authority arrives at its decision? FOI 4689 A Percentage of appeals – 28% The Traffic Penalty Tribunal decides appeals against parking penalties issued by Civil Enforcement Authorities in England (outside London) and Wales. They are an independent tribunal and impartial, you will need to contact them directly if you would like to know what they use to make decisions. Their email address is: info@trafficpenaltytribunal.gov.uk FOI 4690 Q 1 a) For the 2012/13 financial year so far (until today's date of March 11), how many current or ex-employees of the council have signed compromise agreements directly related to the resolving of dispute(s)/grievance(s)/internal and external investigation(s)/whistleblowing incident(s), excluding all COT3 Agreements and all compromise agreements drawn up in the following circumstances: i. Purely redundancy situations ii. Purely PILON (pay in lieu of notice) situations iii. Equal pay claims iv. TUPE situations 1 b) What was the total monetary value of these? 1 c) Please provide a breakdown for each compromise agreement, showing: - a summary description of the compromise agreements, e.g. whether it related to an internal investigation, whistleblowing, claim of sexual harassment, claim of age discrimination etc. - the total monetary value of each, and the lump sum payments that make up the claim, e.g. severance, notice, salary, etc. - the role of the individual in receipt of the compromise agreement Please also provide

2. The same for 2011/12 3. The same for 2010/11 4. The same for 2009/10 5. The same for 2008/09 6. The same for 2007/08 FOI 4690 A I can confirm that Slough Borough Council have issued the following numbers of compromise agreements: 2007 – 0 2008 - 8 (2 Redundancy, 6 Dispute Resolutions) 2009 - 220 (217 Harmonisation, 2 Dispute Resolutions, 1 Redundancy) 2010 - 1539 (1488 Harmonisation, 38 Redundancy, 13 Early Retirement) From 2011 onwards a central record of the number of compromise agreements signed has not been kept. In order to extract this information we would need to manually inspect the files of each leaver. On average we have had approximately 350 leavers per year. If each file took on average 5 minutes to examine this would take this request above the prescribed time and cost limit of 18 hours (£450). Therefore I am unable to provide you with any more information than that which has ready been supplied. With regards to the other info requested the council is unable to supply you with any information regarding the total cost of these agreements, description of the agreements and job roles as this information is not kept centrally and the earlier spreadsheet that was kept on the number of compromise agreements signed did not contain this information. So again each individual file from 2007 onwards would need to be interrogated to obtain this data. I would also add that with regard to job roles that disclosure of information regarding job roles in relation to compromise agreements may allow the individuals concerned to be identified, and is therefore personal information of a third party. We therefore determine that job titles are exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act by virtue of section 40 (2), as disclosure would breach the individual’s rights under the Data Protection Act. Please accept this email as a refusal under S12 (cost limit) and S40 (2) (personal information) of the FOIA.

FOI 4694 Q I would like to know the top 10 domiciliary care organisations that you would refer a client with dementia or other complex needs to provide services within the patient's home (my Mum). I would like the name and address of these homes. Thanks FOI 4694 A One attachment was sent with the above reply. If you would like a copy of this attachment please email the FOI officer on foi@slough.gov.uk and quote the above FOI reference number. FOI 4695 Q I am enquiring if your authority submitted a Local Pinch Point Funding bid to the Department of Transport in February 2013. If so, where can I find a copy of the bid on your public website. I understand all bids have to be made available as part of the bidding process. FOI 4695 A I can confirm that Slough Borough Council has not submitted a bid. FOI 4696 Q The estimated cost of outstanding repairs to your local authority run schools including all repair priorities FOI 4696 A The table below shows the total condition survey costs for Foundation, Voluntary Controlled and Community schools and LA nurseries in Slough. The figures are based on condition surveys carried out during 2010 and 2012. These are the total figures for 18 schools. Priority Grade Non-redecoration items Redecoration items 1 £64,998 £0 2 £2,448,073 £308,211 3 £3,041,065 £1,341,918 This excludes Voluntary Aided Schools. FOI 4697 Q What enquiries and/or applications have been made to purchase the old Arbour Vale School site (now used by West Wing Art centre) off Stoke Road, Slough. FOI 4697 A To our recollection, whilst there have been informal inquiries made about the availability of the site from the Khalsa School Group and the DfE no formal offer to purchase has been made. The response to any inquiry has been that the site is not available because it is in current use and the Council has other well-developed plans for it. FOI 4698 Q Please provide me with the following information regarding Public Health spending in your area: 1) What was the allocated Public Health grant in your Local Authority for 2013-14 and 2014-15? 2) Will the grant be enough to meet local Public Health needs? 3) What are your plans for Public Health activity in 2013/14? 4) What new Public Health activity are you planning for 2013/14 that you have not commissioned in the past? 5) Will you provide a list of the services you will be commissioning and the providers you will be commissioning them from in relation to the Public Health grant? FOI 4698 A Question 1 -

2013/14 - £4 988 000.00 2014/15 - £5 487 000.00 – confirmation of these figures can be found on the Dept of Health website as this information is in the Public Domain Question 2 - The allocated grant is sufficient to meet the committed programme of spend and the cost’s of the staff cohort transferring on 1st April 2012, supported by a risk share arrangement across the Berkshire Unitary Authorities in year one for the management of contracts that will be novated to more than one authority. The DH has stated that, through the re-allocation of Public Health resources nationally, the allocation for Slough should reach £64 per head. The allocation on 1st April 2013 is significantly below this level at £34 per head. Question 3 - Slough Borough Council has worked with the other 5 Unitary Authorities in Berkshire to develop the Public Health model for Berkshire which is based on collaborative risk sharing and matrix working across Council boundaries. The rationale for this approach lay in the fact that the NHS Primary Care Structure in Berkshire has not been co-terminus with the individual Unitary Authorities, with services being commissioned across more than one Council on an East West Berkshire basis. We plan to continue existing services and then target new services based on the emerging priorities of the Slough Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy. The planned activity for Public Health services in Slough will be aligned to the Public Health Outcomes Framework 2013-2016 domains 1- 4 which includes : Domain 1 - Improving the wider determinants of health Domain 2 - Health improvement Domain 3 - Health protection Domain4 - Healthcare public health and preventing premature mortality We will also be undertaking a refresh of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) in year in order to Inform our commissioning intentions for 2014/15 onwards. Question 4 - The majority of Public Health contracts for Slough have been commissioned on an East Berkshire basis and include contracts for sexual health, smoking cessation, weight management, health checks. The contracts are currently owned by the PCT and information on the contracts therefore can not be provided by the Council. Once the contracts have transferred to the Council, the information can be provided by Bracknell Forest Council who will be the contract management function on behalf of the 6 Berkshire Councils. FOI 4699 Q A) Number of children waiting to be fostered B) Number of children waiting to be adopted FOI 4699 A A) 0 because we place with IFAS if there are no suitable in house placements available. B) Number with placement orders where adoption is the plan - 37 - 8 are currently in adoptive placements and 5 children are in the matching process. Therefore only 24 are waiting for placements. The total number of Children that were fostered in 2012/2013 is 231 FOI 4700 Q The number of people with a learning disability and/or autism you commission a service for that are currently supported in long stay hospital.

FOI 4704 Q How many employees and former employees have signed compromise agreements in the financial year 2012/13 (so far), and the previous five financial years?

In order to extract this information we would need to manually inspect the files of each leaver. On average we have had approximately 350 leavers per year. If each file took on average 5 minutes to examine this would take this request above the prescribed time and cost limit of 18 hours (£450). Therefore I am unable to provide you with any more information than that which has ready been supplied. With regards to costs the council is unable to supply you with any information regarding the total cost of these agreements as this information is not kept centrally and the earlier spreadsheet that was kept on the number of compromise agreements signed did not contain this information. So again each individual file from 2008 onwards would need to be interrogated to obtain this data. Please accept this email as a partial refusal under S12 (cost limit) of the FOIA FOI 4705 Q What is the proper procedure that your CEO’s need to follow when issuing a PCN to the motor vehicle.

If the contravention allows an observation time then the CEO must observe the vehicle for the time stated in Slough Borough Council’s Parking Enforcement Policy, this can be found on the following link http://www.slough.gov.uk/council/strategies-plans-and-policies/parking.aspx . Once a PCN has been issued it must be served either by; fixing it to the vehicle or handing it to the person appearing to the CEO to be in charge of the vehicle. The CEO must also take photographs of the vehicle to prove the contravention occurred and that the PCN has been legally served. FOI 4706 Q 1.

The Council do not hold any information on the approaches that the Khalsa Trust may have made for non council owned properties within this Council’s borough boundary or beyond. The responsibility for Free Schools rests with the Department of Education and not a Local Authority. The Free School program is a central government program as such, there are no legal obligations on a local authority to actively locate sites for Free Schools as free schools are not local authority run schools.

FOI 4718 A Following consideration of your request the council have determined that the activities needed to locate, retrieve and extract the information you have requested would exceed the appropriate cost limit of £450 (18 hours). The reason that these activities would exceed the appropriate limit is that in order to retrieve the information requested it would require inspecting every Civil Enforcement Officers daily activities report over the last 6 months, taking out each road and then checking the time visited. Please accept this email as a notice of refusal under S12 (cost limit) of the FOIA.

FOI 4719 Q 1. Has S.B.C. ever used gagging clauses in compromise agreements and, if so, on how many occasions, when, and at what cost? 2. How many compromise agreements have been made in each of the financial years 2007/8; 2008/9; 2009/10; 2010/11; 2011/12 and 2012/13? 3. What grades of staff were parties to compromise agreements in those years? 4. What were the reasons those compromise agreements in those years? 5. What was the cost by staff grade of those compromise agreements in those years? 6. Were Councillors notified of all or any of these compromise agreements and, if so, by what method of communication? FOI 4719 A 1. The Council does not enter into whistle blowing non disclosure clauses in its compromise agreements. 2. 2007 – 0, 2008 – 8, 2009 – 220, 2010 - 1539 From 2011 onwards, changes in processes meant that the Council no longer retains a central record of the number of compromise agreements. The Council will need to extract this information manually. On average the Council have approximately 350 leavers per year. We would envisage each leaver’s file taking an average 5 minutes to examine and ascertain the information being requested. As such we believe this would take this request above the prescribed time and cost limit of 18 hours (£450). Therefore I am unable to provide you with any more information relating to years 2011 onwards. Please accept this as a refusal under S12 (cost limit) for years 2011/12 and 2012/13. 3. The Council does not hold this information centrally for any of the years listed. As per reply to question 2 above, each file would need to be interrogated and this would mean the time limit would be exceeded. Please accept this as a refusal under S12 (cost limit) 4. The Council does not hold this information centrally for any of the years listed. As per reply to question 2 above, each file would need to be interrogated and this would mean the time limit would be exceeded. Please accept this as a refusal under S12 (cost limit) 5. The Council does not hold this information centrally for any of the years listed. As per reply to question 2 above, each file would need to be interrogated and this would mean the time limit would be exceeded. Please accept this as a refusal under S12 (cost limit) 6. The Members of this Authority have no involvement in personnel matters that concern compromise agreements. FOI 4720 Q I shall like to have the confirmations Ruth Bagley salary not incremented inside salary band. Rob Anderson and J C R Swindlhursts payments go up every New Year. Salary band has incremental steps each with bigger salary money. I shall like to known how come big jump in salary Ruth Bagley. > 07/08 - £119,663 > 08/09 - £147,645 Who made this big jump and the dates, made by Independents, Conservative or Labour councillors or by government. FOI 4720 A Please find below a link to the pay band for Ms Bagley's salary. Subject to satisfactory performance senior staff will progress annually through their respective salary band until they reach the top where they will then stay. I can confirm that Ms Bagley is at the top of her salary band. http://www.slough.gov.uk/jobs/pay-scales-and-grades.aspx The Joint Negotiating Committee for Chief Executives and Joint Negotiating Committee for Chief Officers determined not to award any pay increases for 2009 onward. This was part of the national pay agreement. Due to the freeze on pay increases imposed by central government no SBC officer has received a pay award since the last award on 1st April 2008.

The salary quoted below for Ms Bagley for 07/08 was for a part year as Ms Bagley did not take up her post until part way through 2007. Had she been in post for the whole year her salary for 07/08 would have been £144,114 Slough Borough Council was No Overall Control between 2004 - 2008 Slough Borough Council has been Labour controlled from May 2008 – present FOI 4721 Q What is the current contract length for the Enhanced Intermediate Care and Reablement Service and when does it expire?

Can you tell us what the shortest, average and longest waiting times are to access the service for both nursing and therapy elements? Are there any activity counting targets? How are they measured and what are the current compliance levels? Is the service being operated within the contract value? If not could you please explain the reason for this? What data capture systems are use to collect and hold patient data, performance data etc for the service? What buildings does the service operate from and which of these are the bases of the operation? What are the future intentions for the Service? What is the skill mix and banding of the staff for the service, both nursing and therapy elements? Who do you contract with and sub contract with for this service? Can we have a copy of the service model including eligibility criteria? Can you tell us of the total contract value how much is for pay and how much is for non pay? FOI 4721 A Following consideration of your request we have determined that the activities needed to locate, retrieve and extract the information you have requested would exceed the appropriate cost limit of £450 (18 hours). The reason that these activities would exceed the appropriate limit is that the information you have request is not held in a central location and in order to collate it we would require input from various departments and section including Finance, Contracts, Enhanced Intermediate Care Team and Reablement Team and their respective Service Managers, the Performance section and the Adult Social Care Assistant Director. Please accept this email as a notice of refusal under S12 (cost limit) of the FOIA.

FOI 4738 Q I am submitting a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, for the information below regarding services for deafblind children and young people. Deafblindness is a combination of both sight and hearing difficulties. This can be congenital or through illness, or accident. 1. Does your Joint Strategic Needs Assessment explicitly take into account the prevalence and needs of multi sensory impaired children and young people? If so who have you consulted on their needs? 2. What involvement have Children's Trust arrangements had in drawing up your JSNA? 3. What involvement have Local Schools and Local Education Authorities had in drawing up your JSNA? 4. To what extent have issues surrounding the provision of Special Educational Needs been considered in drawing up your JSNA? Have you looks specifically at the needs of children and young people with multi sensory impairments in your area? 5. What input have you had from groups or organisations representing children and young people with single or multi sensory impairments? FOI 4738 A Your freedom of information request attached has now been considered and the answers are supplied below. 1. Deaf and blind estimates are present in the 2011-12 JSNA but not specific to children or as a dual estimate 2. Members of the Children’s Partnership were key partners in drawing up the above JSNA and were involved in the working group 3. Schools and young people were involved through work with LINk and key issues summarised 4. SEN issues are itemised in the JSNA and those with sensory impairments. Consultations with parents of children with multisensory impairments are available to planners of services

5. This work was done extensively through LD partners and reported in the JSNA FOI 4739 Q Please can you let me know the amount of money that the council currently has available for public space enhancement works / community art work / environmental upgrades (and similar works) in the Upton and Chalvey wards of Slough and that is currently available for spending together with the purposes or restrictions on the way such monies may be spent. If the council is not collecting s.106 monies from developers for such purposes, can you explain why not when other authorities regularly collect s.106 sums for works such as these. FOI 4739 A Currently there are two budgets for Environmental Improvements, one specifically for Local Authority Housing related areas and one for the remainder of the borough. The combined funds amount to approximately £500,000 but are held for borough-wide use rather than into specific areas with schemes identified and prioritised as necessary. Accordingly it is not possible to stipulate a precise amount available to any sub area of the borough. Over and above the monies mentions above the council also has a community investment fund. See press release above. In reply to the S106 question, the answer is yes we are where justified. One attachment was sent with the above reply. If you would like a copy of this attachment please email the FOI officer on foi@slough.gov.uk and quote the above FOI reference number. FOI 4740 Q Please can you advise: 1. Why you have removed the bus lay-bys on Wellington Street, Slough (post office section of the A4). The removal of these lay-bys is now causing rather a lot of traffic congestion when buses stop (which is often for several minutes). It is also making it difficult for the public to post letters at Slough Post Office. It seems most unreasonable given that this is the latest post collection in the area to make access to it so difficult. Please provide a copy if your policy supporting your decision. 2. Why, at a time of a massive shortage of public money, was this considered a good use of public funds? 3. How much have these works cost? 4. Where else in the borough are you planning to remove bus lay-bys? FOI 4740 A 1. The lay-by's have been removed to reduce delays to bus services and form part of a bid that was approved by the Dept. for Transport (DfT) to improve bus services around the country. 2. The funds have been allocated by the DfT to reduce delays and therefore are not funded by the council. 3. The cost for each lay-by varies but is approximately £7-8K 4. Lay-by's have/will be removed from Gala Bingo, Salt Hill Park, Opposite the Post Office and two further bays in Colnbrook. FOI 4741 Q Can you tell me how much you intend to spend in 12/13 and your 13/14 budget for road surface dressing.

FOI 4743 Q (Q1) What is the average caseload of social workers in your local authority as of January 2013 and for each of the preceding 4 years? (Q2) What is the highest caseload of a social worker in your local authority so far in 2013 and in each of the preceding 4 years? FOI 4743 A Response from Adults: We do not operate a process of allocating entire cases to individual social workers; rather, we allocate discrete tasks to individual workers to complete – e.g. assessments, reviews etc. Most adult social care open cases are overseen by a group / team duty system, where discrete work items are picked up and conducted as and when required by the most appropriate member of staff at that time – this includes qualified social workers as well as peripatetic staff according to the nature of the interaction required. The nature of the manner in which this is recorded does not enable us to retrospectively produce caseload numbers in the manner requested. An average caseload in terms of the number of service users allocated for discrete work items to qualified social workers at any one time averages at 30 service users per social worker.
