SCFRG meeting
Tonight's meeting in County Hall, was attended by several members of the Rainbow of Hope Management Committee. The group had previously stated that it no longer wished to be part of the on going initiative of the Street Carers Forum, and attended on this occasion to give an explanation of their reasons for this decision.
The Representative Group accepted this with much regret, and resolved to continue with the plans already agreed, and work towards setting up a formal partnership with the City Council, making use of a common set of standards and an agreed policy of safe working practices.

Progress set back
Our aspiration to mount the pilot training course on 9th July has fallen short of being able to deliver.
That evening’s pilot training session must be put back to an, as yet, undetermined early autumn date, in order that the SCFRG can meet again for a thorough review of policy established so far, and to strengthen the relational foundation.
The consensus building process of the past nine months has effectively stalled, and has left the SCF unable to speak to the City Council with one voice. What we have achieved so far is not yet fit for purpose.
If you have reserved that evening to attend the training, please note that it will NOT now take place on that date, and please let others know.
Your prayers for the Representative Group meeting on that evening would be greatly appreciated.
