Agenda Item 73(b)
Brighton & Hove City Council |
WRITTEN QUESTIONS
A period of not more than fifteen minutes shall be allowed at each ordinary meeting for questions submitted by a member of the public.
The question will be answered without discussion. The person who asked the question may ask one relevant supplementary question, which shall be put and answered without discussion. The person to whom a question, or supplementary question, has been put may decline to answer it.
The following written questions have been received from members of the public:
1. RISE UK – Nicola Benge
“A report to the NICE Committee in October 2018 said: “RISE and its subcontracted partner, Survivors Network, raise and invest significant funds in their own right to deliver services for victims and survivors outside The Portal and should be noted as key contributors to the funding landscape.” If RISE is no longer the main provider of refuge and casework services, it will be much harder for them to raise these additional funds, given that many dedicated grants rely on match funding. How will the council act to prevent this decision from destabilising RISE and therefore endangering their self-funded community services?”
“How will the voice of service users be heard as part of the monitoring, evaluation and review of the new Domestic Abuse contracts?”
