Birmingham City Council: Year 2 Q3 update

Progress

• Healthy Eating Planning Toolkit is out for public consultation, deadline 30 June 2021. Consultation feedback will form next iteration of toolkit and aim is to embed it into the Birmingham Development Plan (BDP)
• Spiral Curriculum - invitation to tender (ITT) for spiral curriculum content expected to go out around mid-June. Seeking provider to build a series of Health and Wellbeing(HWB) modules, based on apprenticeship model, containing varying content based on level.
• Birmingham Basket – procurement process underway for a data organisation to support baseline data delivery; (ITT) signed off by Director and Assistant Director and expected to go out to market around mid-June.
• Recruited to a graduate and a service lead role to help support COTP work, which has helped to accelerate programme activity.

Learnings

The democratic process to enable embedding of toolkit into BDP is very complex and similar exercises going forward should allow longer lead in-times and a forward plan as key to support the work process.

Challenges

Progress has been significantly impacted by resources required for the local response to COVID-19 and also internal role changes, however additional capacity will enable moving forward at pace.

Next steps

• Toolkit Consultation feedback will form the next iteration of the toolkit and the aim is embed it into the Birmingham Development Plan (BDP)
• Birmingham City Council (BCC) have a speaking engagement about public health and COTP work at Birmingham City University
• BCC will present at an online workshop entitled ‘Early learning in developing toolkits to address childhood obesity’ in early June. The workshop is hosted by the Local Government Association and our delivery support partner (DSP), Shared intelligence (SI) and will provide an opportunity to showcase their experiences of developing the toolkit, key lessons from the process, and how these toolkits can best be embedded to deliver the greatest impact.

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council: Year 2 Q3 update

The Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme is funded by the Department and Health and Social Care and administered by the Local Government Association. Public Health England also providing expert support and advice The Trailblazer will harness the potential of Islamic Religious Settings (IRS) and their communities as levers to tackle the cultural, and structural drivers of ethnic inequalities in childhood obesity in Bradford. The Trailblazer will harness the potential of Islamic Religious Settings (IRS) and their communities as levers to tackle the cultural, and structural drivers of ethnic inequalities in childhood obesity in Bradford.

Progress

• Following years of intensive and successful community engagement, the draft Bradford Trailblazer Toolkit is now available.
• Based on the test and learn approach, four place-based groups through Islamic religious settings (IRS) delivered online sessions through lockdown on physical activity and healthy diet which were attended by around 300 people in total.
• Two of the four IRS were enabled to apply for a locally available physical activity delivery fund (JUMP Awards) to become part of mainstream health promotion programmes - it was the first time that IRS entered into a competitive process of applying for funding aimed at health promotion. They were unsuccessful in receiving the award, however delivered an online session on their own initiative using the learning from participation in the toolkit test and learning session on delivery of physical activity for childhood obesity prevention.
• The Trailblazer programme lead delivered a session on ‘Ramadan and Healthy Eating’ organised by a local community group ‘The Paradise Academy’ who are working alongside one of the IRS place-based groups. It was viewed by more than 100 local people on YouTube and dozens attended the livestream on Facebook
• The Bradford Trailblazer research and work has been published in ‘Preventive Medicine Reports’ how religious settings can be used for childhood obesity prevention and has been made part of the evidence and existing body of knowledge by Public Health England in its obesity intelligence data-set and also published to PHE public library.
• Project team meeting recently took place to refresh team working and re-focus on COTP work next steps.

Learnings

• Though programme delivery was built on face-to-face interactions with individuals, communities and organisations, to encourage healthy behaviours for obesity prevention, progress took place by moving to online platforms for programme delivery. Virtual engagement was a new of working for many organisations however they innovated well.
• Place-based groups required more time to process information than expected; it is important to follow the pace of the groups.
• Robust governance structure and programme direction are key elements to support continued successful work progress

Challenges

• Carrying out the Trailblazer work within the three-year programme timeline.
• Capacity of the internal COTP team to carry out the work.
• Staff in mosques and madrassas are generally community volunteers with diverse backgrounds, however most of them are not equipped with training on health promotion initiatives. 
• Toolkit training work is challenging and requires specialist input.
• Funder and delivery organisations have rigid and non-flexible systems to engage with local and place-based groups that are not registered as community organisations. Funding via the JUMP Awards was rejected due to the fact that IRS’ were not registered as voluntary and community sector organisations and did not have constitutions or banks accounts.

Next steps

• Digital co-production methodology developed for the Trailblazer toolkit can be shared with other local authorities.
• Begin process evaluation on digital co-production of toolkit and delivery of project activities.
• Refine contents based on learning from test and learn with place-based groups.
• Toolkit working group will be set up focusing on quality assurance and work to improve toolkit design to take place towards end of the year
• Train IRS staff in mosques and madrassas on delivery of toolkit content (which is based on learning from test and learn approach with place-based groups)
• Building capacity of IRS’ as organisations to deliver their own local obesity prevention interventions.
• Establish funding needs with place-based groups in line with their priorities.
• Capacity building of place-based groups and working with IRS leads on how to work together collaboratively to secure future funding.
• Sustainability beyond the end of the programme - COTP work to be built into wider strategic health work and continue to be funded by wider COTP agenda - looking at integrating COTP with Healthy Schools programme so schools can take work forward.
• City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council will present at an online workshop entitled ‘Early learning in developing toolkits to address childhood obesity’ in early June. The workshop is hosted by the Local Government Association and delivery support partner, Shared intelligence and will provide an opportunity to showcase their experiences of developing the toolkit, the key lessons from the process, and how these toolkits can best be embedded to deliver the greatest impact .
• City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council to speak at Food Matters event on 30 June; they will give an update and share their experience and learning about their Trailblazer work.

They have devised draft principles of nutrition resources and are currently looking at putting together a narrative. A follow up meeting has been organised to discuss the vision and how to get the narrative across; Lewisham will feedback to the SG.
• Robust framework based on co-production work being devised.

Challenges

• National impact of COVID-19 on the Out of Home (OOH) advertising estate has affected the progress of the project, however hoping to see work pick up in Q2 and Q3 (including work with other media owners). Also slowed progress on improving food offer (COVID-19 impact on food businesses) and planned evaluation (dependent on conduction street surveys but could not take place due to COVID-19 impact) However work beginning again with food businesses and evaluation partner.

• Utilising learning from how the Early Childhood Services engage with childminders
• Discuss at next project meeting how engagement has worked previously and to see if any established routes/forums we can link in to for further learning
• Working with county council leadership team to get better mutual understanding of shared priorities to enable roll out of different initiatives has been helpful
• Local knowledge/history/culture/personalities determines approach to engage and enable change. Situational leadership approach important
• Role of public health support officer important as bridges gap between strategic commissioning and provider into delivery at local level
• Notts COTP has helped influence offer and culture of work in Children’s centres and buy in from senior leadership in children’s services very important to bring about alignment

• Due to COVID impacting on the capacity of the school meals team we have been unable to prototype the recipes with families during 2020 as per the original plan
• Delays and barriers to delivery of meal kit means it was a challenge to fully prototype/test all aspects to move learning forward for development and delivery
• Good engagement with Childminders through Early years survey but not had opportunity to engage with them yet re Food for Life work
• Mobilising various Public Health initiatives within Children Centres at the same time as other wider initiatives, impacting on capacity of CC team and others
• Notts CC project delivery expectations/plans not being in line with project partners response to lifting of COVID restrictions
• Trailblazer work to date may not be sustainable at current rate without thought and planning

Next steps

• Nottinghamshire County Council to speak at Food Matters event on 30 June; they will give an update and share their experience and learning about their Trailblazer work
