Recommendations
The Grants Committee is asked
- Extend a thank you to the representative from Ashiana for providing the first thematic review presentation, as well as the beneficiary presenting her story.
- Agree the means by which they would like to receive information regarding NRPF going forward. Officers suggest that providers are asked (where possible) to monitor the numbers of people benefitting from their services, with NRPF, and to provide this in the annual return, which can be included for members as part of the annual equalities audit.
- Agree to share this report and the project information in the 2017-21 report on this agenda, with their local authority to ensure that officers are aware of the support available regarding NRPF through the programme.
- Note the work being undertaken by London Councils to improve understanding of the financial pressure on boroughs generated by the need to support clients with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) as outlined in Section Two.
