 Vice Chair Arrangements
Neil Harrison has been confirmed as the new Vice Chair for the Sub-Group.

 Prevention Task & Finish Group
The Prevention Task & Finish Group has met and work is progressing: an
update will be provided at the June Board meeting.

 Awareness Week
A meeting has taken place to discuss the use of local media publications. The
outcome of the meeting was positive, and helped to identify a set of clear aims
and objectives.

 Annual Communication and Engagement Report
The report was presented in draft format at the TSAB Development Day. The
report has been finalised and includes feedback from the South Tees Learning
and Networking Event. This event was the largest of the three Learning and
Networking events and brought the total number of organisations engaged
with to 200.

There were 640 completed surveys submitted and the analysis shows that
Early Help and Prevention is the top priority for the Board. This also supports
the conclusion in the report which emphasises that there should be a greater
focus on education and raising awareness with the general public. A number
of Boards, including Newcastle, are now hosting events targeted specifically
at the public.

The redacted version of the report has been published on the TSAB website.

AB noted that this short report evidences the positive work of the Board and
that further discussion of the Strategic aims of the Board is required at the
June meeting.
