Summary Kent TFF Notes from Launch – 19th June 2017 Introductions noted around the room. Debbie Dansey gave background to her role and experience in Counter Fraud, new to Ashford BC. DD nationally has represented local authorities at the Select Committee, working also with DCLG about Fraud. In Ashford BC primary role for Debbie Dansey is looking at Corporate Fraud and safeguarding all of Ashford BC services and assets, including social housing fraud. Social Housing Fraud Slides Key issue for local authorities is about the use and number of families in temporary accommodation and how social housing fraud can elevate these numbers. Summary of the types of social housing fraud were provided in the slides. This is not an extensive list and not just about subletting. TFF main aim is to bring all social landlords together to combat fraud in social housing, this is a free forum, and there is also an online Yammer Forum. This is nationwide and not exclusive to Kent. The aim is to form a Kent TFF, with the support of Kent Housing Group. Sussex Tenancy Fraud Forum The Sussex TFF has been established for approximately 3.5 years. Working with the DWP from 2011 and using funding to look at housing fraud. Protecting the Public Purse publications has provided information about losses through fraud. All front line services are at risk of fraud. The Audit Commission have historically produced figures about losses to organisations through fraud, 2% of all stock (outside of London) are being mis-used potentially. Provided examples of successful non occupation cases in Crawley, this is the biggest fraud issue in Crawley. False applications have also been a big issue in this area, and there has been work on this to reduce the number of false applications. Through the forum there is support and sharing of success across the board, with colleagues, members. This isn’t undertaken from an audit perspective but detecting the fraud and stopping it. Every time there is a successful case in court it is publicised in the press, awareness is growing. In the first year over 30 properties were recovered, without Court action, some with interview under caution. Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act – this has assisted with investigative powers and success. The team works across all the departments and has grown over time due to the success of the fraud work. Questions/Comments How do you get more correct information from local authorities when properties are nominated via an agreement, for example when there is a live in carer? If it is a legal obligation to share the

vs. Eichman, the Permanent Court of International Justice decision in the case of the S.S. Lotus, France v. Turkey as well as the Kenyan High Court (Justice Azangalala) in Hassan M. Ahmed v. Republic in support of those submissions. As the Respondents had not appealed against the trial court’s decision dismissing their objection that it had no jurisdiction to try them, counsel submitted that they were deemed to have acquiesced to the trial court’s jurisdiction and the learned Judge therefore erred in entertaining their judicial review application. He also faulted the Judge’s subordination of Section 69 of the Kenyan Penal Code to Section 5 thereof as baseless. He argued that there is no conflict or gradation between the two sections. He said Section 5 which is in Chapter 3 of the Penal Code grants Kenyan courts jurisdiction to try territorial offences committed anywhere in the country while Section 69 is in Chapter 8 and deals with extra-territorial offences. Counsel also faulted the Judge for making orders that were not sought in the application and worse still against entities that were not party to the application.
temperature of array (the effective cell temperature) With the standard controller the only sub-system losses was the battery efficiency and the calculations are undertaken using Ah. When using a MPPT the calculations are in Wh and the sub-system losses in the system include: Battery efficiency (watt-hr) Cable losses MPPT efficiency In order to determine the energy required from the PV array, it is necessary to account for all the sub-system losses. The energy required at the battery in Wh is then divided by these three losses to determine the required energy to be provided by the array. A sample calculation with daily energy requirement from the PV array has been shown in annex 6 of this guideline. 2. Oversize Factor If the system does not include a fuel generator which can provide extra charging to the battery bank then the solar array should be oversized to provide the equalisation charging of the battery bank. It is recommended in Kenya that this is 10%. A sample calculation with oversize factor has been shown in annex 6 of this guideline. 3. Derating Module Performance The PV array will be de-rated due to: a. Manufacturers Output Tolerance The output of a PV module is specified in watts and with a manufacturing tolerance based on a cell temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Historically this has been 5%, but in recent years typical figures have been -0% and +5%. When designing a system it is important to incorporate the actual figure for the selected module. b. Derating Due to Dirt The output of a PV module can be reduced as a result of a build-up of dirt on the surface of the module. The actual value of this derating will be dependent on the actual location; some city locations might have a high dirt derating due to car pollution, some coastal locations might have a high dirt derating due to salt build up and some locations might have long periods with no rain to naturally wash the modules. If in doubt, an acceptable dirt derating value would be 5%. c. Derating Due to Temperature A solar modules output power decreases with temperature above 25°C and increases with temperatures below 25°C. The average cell temperature will be higher than the ambient temperature because of the glass on the front of the module and the fact that the

There are very few professionals that are officially trained as Health Promotion Officers. Instead, they come from different backgrounds, such as nursing, public health and clinical services and are then trained for one year on health education and communication. Most of these officers are engaged in the national programmes and brought into health promotion in times of urgent need. 4.0 Stakeholder analysis and areas of operation Cholera prevention and control requires a multi-sectoral approach. While diagnosis, management and prevention are functions within the ministry of health, sustainability of interventions in the long-term depends on the involvement of different partners to undertake their different roles. It is equally important that cholera control activities are approached from a pro-active basis, as a routine rather than emergency response. There is need to ensure that the population is served with safe drinking water and that they can ensure the safety of their food. Improved sanitation at all levels including adoption of hygiene practices in school and at home is paramount to a sustainable cholera control plan. A well guided case detection and management procedure from the district to the national level will ensure rapid response and quick intervention which will also contribute to prevention of the spread of cholera and other diseases. This plan brings on board all the development partners and stakeholders involved in different aspects of cholera i.e. management, emergency response, research, surveillance among others 4.1 Ministry of Education The Ministry of Education focuses primarily on school health programmes and can play an important role in strengthening cholera preparedness and response in national school health curricula. Regular treatment of school population to get rid of different parasitic infections and health education is conducted at the primary school level which is aimed at behavior changes and adaptation of hygiene practices. They also collaborate with the Ministry of Public health and sanitation in implementing the school health policy. 4.2 The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation (MOPHS)

a facility operates. A “supported residential facility” is defined in section 3 of the Act as being a: ‘premises in which, for monetary or other consideration (but whether or not for profit), residential accommodation is provided or offered together with personal care services (other than for members of the immediate family of the proprietor of the facility).’ An intrinsic element of what constitutes a supported residential facility is the provision of “personal care services”. The expression personal care services is defined in section 3 of the Act and includes the provision of nursing care, assistance or supervision in bathing, toileting, dressing or undressing, and the consumption of food. It also includes the management of, or assistance with the management of, medication and the provision of substantial rehabilitation or developmental assistance. One of the objects of the Act as set out in section 6 is “to recognise and protect the rights of persons who reside in supported residential facilities”. The Act also sets out a number of “principles to be observed” (in section 7). Principle (b) is as follows: ‘residents are, having regard to their needs and the type of service offered at the particular facility, entitled to receive reasonable levels of nutrition, comfort and shelter in a home-like environment;’ Principle (c) is as follows: ‘services should be provided in a safe physical environment;’ Principle (d) is as follows: ‘residents are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect and afforded reasonable degrees of privacy;’ Principle (e) sets out a number of resident’s entitlements which include an entitlement to independence and freedom of choice in relation to such matters as the right to choose and pursue friendships and the right to participate in activities of a resident’s choosing. Principle (f) is as follows: ‘residents are entitled to manage their own affairs (wherever possible) and must not be subjected to exploitation of their financial or other assets;’

timely termination decisions. There are appropriate agency protocols to support timely permanency court actions. The state judges are aware and generally work with the agency to execute timely permanency. Regional groups did identify some case features that can negatively impact permanency in some situations. Groups noted that when substance abuse was a case feature, the case typically required more time to achieve case plan goals and objectives. The participants also observed if the mother has a new baby during the open protection case, the court does not establish a new timeline separate from the first child, and the practice sometimes delays permanency for the first child. During regional meetings, staff participants noted that caseworkers are unclear about ASFA exemptions and what circumstances would permit them to ask for a waiver of efforts.

Dry eye is caused by a problem with your tear film. It can make your eyes feel dry, scratchy, irritated and uncomfortable and can also make your eyes watery. Having keratoconus can make it more likely for you to develop dry eye. This is because it can be harder for your eyelids to spread your tears over the uneven cornea. Wearing contact lenses can also make it more likely for you to develop dry eye. Dry eye can make contact lenses uncomfortable, making it harder for you to wear them for long periods. There is no cure for dry eye, but treating it can make contact lens wear more comfortable. An optician or ophthalmologist would be able to diagnose dry eye and discuss what can be done to help. They can recommend treatments, such as artificial tear eye drops, which can help to make your eyes feel more comfortable. Your optician would also be able to try out different lenses with you to help you to find the best ones for you. More information about dry eye, including treatments, can be found here. Other types of contact lens If you find it too uncomfortable to wear RGP lenses for large amounts of time or, if keratoconus has worsened and RGPs no longer improve your sight, other types of lenses may help. Your optician should be able to discuss other contact lens options, which could include: Soft contact lenses specially designed for keratoconus . These may be helpful in early keratoconus. These are special, made-to-order soft lenses, which can sometimes be more comfortable than RGPs, so can be worn for longer periods. Piggybacking, which involves wearing a soft contact lens underneath the RGP lens to act as a cushion. This aims to make the harder RGP lens more comfortable to wear. Hybrid lenses, which have a RGP centre and soft outer ring, which helps to make them more comfortable. Although these
What is keratoconus? Keratoconus is a condition affecting the cornea, the clear front window of the eye that normally focuses light allowing you to see clearly. In keratoconus, the cornea becomes progressively thinner and cone shaped, causing distortion of your vision (see images below). normal cornea cornea with keratoconus It is an uncommon condition, affecting about 1 in 2000 people. It is often diagnosed in the teenage years and classically progresses between 15 to 25 years old. In the thirties the condition tends to stabilise and rarely progresses after 35 years old. What are the symptoms? Keratoconus is usually present in both eyes, although it may be worse in one eye than the other. The symptoms include: blurred vision and distortion glare frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions with increase in myopia (short sightedness) and astigmatism (corneal irregularity). Occasionally, rapid progression of keratoconus can lead to sudden swelling and ‘whitening’ of the cornea leading to a sudden reduction in vision, light sensitivity and a red eye. This is called ‘hydrops’ and is caused by a tiny break in one of the layers in the cornea allowing the cornea to swell. It gradually heals over several months and leaves a scar on the cornea. What causes keratoconus? The cause of keratoconus is still unknown. There are several risk factors that have been found to be associated with the condition, for example: excessive eye rubbing which is often associated with allergy symptoms a family history.

Was it a type of political action? Do you think the historical interpretation of these events might have changed in fifty years? Why or why not? The Kerner Commission Report (Excerpt) REPORT OF THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION ON CIVIL DISORDERS SUMMARY OF REPORT INTRODUCTION The summer of 1967 again brought racial disorders to American cities, and with them shock, fear and bewilderment to the nation. The worst came during a two-week period in July, first in Newark and then in Detroit. Each set off a chain reaction in neighboring communities. On July 28, 1967, the President of the United States established this Commission and directed us to answer three basic questions: What happened? Why did it happen? What can be done to prevent it from happening again? To respond to these questions, we have undertaken a broad range of studies and investigations. We have visited the riot cities; we have heard many witnesses; we have sought the counsel of experts across the country. . This is our basic conclusion: Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white--separate and unequal. Reaction to last summer's disorders has quickened the movement and deepened the division. Discrimination and segregation have long permeated much of American life; they now threaten the future of every American. This deepening racial division is not inevitable. The movement apart can be reversed. Choice is still possible. Our principal task is to define that choice and to press for a national resolution. To pursue our present course will involve the continuing polarization of the American community and, ultimately, the destruction of basic democratic values. The alternative is not blind repression or capitulation to lawlessness. It is the realization of common opportunities for all within a single society. This alternative will require a commitment to national action--compassionate, massive and sustained, backed by the resources of the most powerful and the richest nation on this earth. From every American it will require new attitudes, new understanding, and, above all, new will. The vital needs of the nation must be met; hard choices must be made, and, if necessary, new taxes enacted. Violence cannot build a better society. Disruption and disorder nourish repression, not justice. They strike at the freedom of every citizen. The community cannot--it will not--tolerate coercion and mob rule. Violence and destruction must be ended--in the streets of the ghetto and in the lives of people.
