craigbickerton Hi Phil


We have two points from our perspective in the East Midlands:

1. On section 2, we think it needs to be made clear that ROs can facilitate discussion that involves the RDAs and the LAs (where the RDA and the RO are separate) - as there is little point LAs meeting to discuss common data to inform the Single Regional Strategy if the relevant RDA, who will be producing the strategy, is not involved.


2. On sections 6 and 7 it needs to be made clear that "some" ROs have expertise with data availability, robustness and interpretation. In other regions, the RO can facilitate LA contact with the RDA and the ONS Regional team if the expertise resides there.


Thanks

rpaskins Phil,


A few thoughts as follows:-


1. On a general note, I can see what you are getting at by the theme of " a space", but if we have too much reference to "space" I fear we may be seen as "empty". Can we get the same idea across by using "a place to..." or providing an "opportunity" to?


2. I like the idea of a standard and extended offer; I wonder if it might be better to put all the extended offer in one place in the paper, rather than split it as currently drafted.


3. Under regional partners, I would expect to see RDAs


4. I think we are missing a trick by not making the links to the LAAs


5. It will be difficult to capture the extended offer other than in broad principles, so I suggest you add contacts for each RO with the notion that these could be discussed in more detail within each region


Hope this is helpful,


Rosie

glenn_athey A few more ideas on extended offer:


1) In our region we are exploring the possibility of putting together a capacity development programme with our Regional Efficiency Improvement Partnership, Improvement East. Our input would be in helping get this started and perhaps running some of the courses.


2) LEA review and comment - its not obvious in your note, but ability of ROs to review and comment on a LEA is obviously useful.


3) Analytical support - in my area lots of LAs are good at collating data and providing descriptive reporting, but I have seen very little effective analysis of an economic issue or local area - e.g. looking across all the indicators to draw out key dynamics or issues in the local economy.


4) Advice and support on commissioning research. Some LAs will commission consultants to do their LEAs. Not all have the experience. We may support their commissioning, help them draw up a brief and interview consultants etc.


5) RDA requirement for core data requirements for devolved programmes/funds - In EEDA we're looking at how our funded activites fit with our new RES targets and core indicators. Its likely any funding partner will have to provide targets based on these. So it makes sense to fit them into LEAs.

amandayorkshire Hello

Im not sure if this is the right place to put this - apologies if it isnt.


Yorkshire Futures is commissioning an overview paper about refugee/asylum seeker and migrant related research in the Yorkshire & Humber region. Although we are primarily concerned with literature and case studies within our region, we appreciate that other regions have also carried out research in this area and may be aware of some good case studies. If you are aware of any such research, grey literature or examples of best practice/case studies could I ask you to send details (eg weblink, reference, email address) to Dr Hannah Lewis hannahjlewis@gmail.com, by September 12th (or as soon as possible). Much appreciated,

Amanda

arocoordinator Hi all! The research database is filling up slowly - I've added contributions from West and East Midlands, North West and Yorkshire & Humber so why not have a browse or search / filter on a topic of interest?

arocoordinator Thanks to all those who have registered so far. If you wish to extend an invitation to another members of your organisation, please click on "Group Members" in the very top menu bar on the right of the page, and select "Add New Members".

I have updated the meeting page with the remaining papers from Tuesday's meeting, and have added a page which hosts all the research plans provided prior to the meeting (called Research plans 08 09).

arocoordinator We could also link to a page listing RO staff who represent ARO on other groups, to aid feedback and keep track of who is doing what.

phileadie here's an idea, would it be useful (possible) to have an ARO calender for meetings that ARO are supposed to be represented at? That way, we might facilitate a bit more input into the agendas.

just a thought.
