Report: At the Corporate and Scrutiny
Management Committee (Calling In) meeting on 31/10/2014 it was
resolved that the proposals contained in the Business Case for
Children’s Services for Castlegate be deferred in order to allow Officers
to undertake the following work, prior to reporting back on refined
proposals to Cabinet in February 2015:
• Consultation with service users and partners
• An outcome based statistics exercise at Castlegate
• Consideration of refined proposals by a sub group or
YorOk
• Consideration of a refined proposal by a cross party
group
• Submission of refined proposals to the YorOk Board
To enable the called-in matter to be dealt with efficiently and in
accordance with the requirements of the Council’s
Constitution.
On 25 November an update was given regarding the timescales for a
refined proposal regarding the Castlegate drop in centre. Part of the analysis
that will form the refined proposal was to be informed by
statistical evidence gathered from Castlegate users. This exercise only began in
December and more evidence is needed prior to a recommendation
being made.

Consultation process
Partner Consultation -
The consultation document was sent to approximately 200 individuals
and organisations on Monday 8th December with a deadline for
returns by 15 December. The consultation focused on the proposal
outlined in the business case. We received 22 responses from
partners, including 3 from Local Authority (LA) partners, 5 from
mental health charities, clinicians and children’s health
clinicians, 4 from schools, colleges and providers, 3 from
Connexions staff, 3 from the housing sector and 1 from the Police
and Crime Commissioner’s office ( PCC) and Job Centre
Plus.
Young People Consultation - A large consultation event was held at
West Offices with Castlegate users and
Year 11’s. For groups who felt uncomfortable at large events,
smaller and more targeted work was used including 1-2-1 sessions.
Additionally, an online survey was made available. In total, the
consultation engaged 81 Young People age range 13-25.
The results of the consultation will feed into the sub group and
will form the basis of the refined proposal.
