www.surreycare.org.uk Housing Benefit Consultation Key Points/Feedback from event Consultation opened 19 th July closes 9 th Oct. Why? Gov states HB for people in Supported Housing not working Issues around “exempt” status conflicting with SL requirements Complexity etc.
14
www.surreycare.org.uk Proposals: Calculated in simpler ways “Cost neutral” not cost cutting Intend that private landlords can access same level as NfP landlords 2 Categories for non registered Providers a)People in Conventional Supported Housing b)People with more specific housing needs Registered Providers – no real change Concerns: Simplification fails to acknowledge different costs. Whole range of uncertainties and potential dangers with little detail given as to how will work. General consensus that there is not enough detail to form real opinion on proposals. Fear around “typical” costs Vs “actual” potential to be cuts in reality

www.surreycare.org.uk Other News The Low Review: Personal Mobility in State-Funded Residential Care Call for Evidence http://lowreview.org.uk/ The review invites anyone with an interest, particularly people living in state funded residential care, care home providers and local authorities, to share their views and insights on how personal mobility needs are met for people living in residential care.

www.surreycare.org.uk Learning Disability Coalition response to ODI report on Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. In 2009, the UK signed the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities which aims to make sure that disabled people are treated in the same way as everyone else. This year the Government must report back to the UN about how well it has put the Convention into practice. The Office for Disability Issues has put together a draft report on the Government’s progress, which the Learning Disability Coalition has responded to. http://www.learningdisabilitycoalition.org.uk/latestnews.asp The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has published the results of its inquiry into disability-related harassment. New figures released in September showed that disability hate crimes rose by more than a fifth in 2010. Across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, police recorded 1,569 incidents in which the victim thought the alleged crime was motivated by their disability, compared with just 1,294 in 2009.
