APPENDIX A





Variation to the

Service Level Agreement


between


The Isle of Wight Council


and


Relate Solent


2002 – 2005



Variation to the Service Level Agreement between the Isle Of Wight Council and Relate Solent, 2002 – 2005.



1.        Period of Variation


1.1      This variation is in respect of the period 1st April, 2003 to 31st March, 2005.



2.        Enhancement to Service


2.1      Option 1

 

Recruitment of an additional counsellor will necessitate an increase in the grant of £2,100 over two years. This will allow us to provide 100 additional hours in the venues currently used, increasing counselling hours to 600 during 2003/04.

 

Coupled with this is the opportunity to offer the service at an additional venue on the Island, possibly in the southeast. An additional venue will increase the accessibility of the service and allow the current workforce to increase the number of hours they work, if they so wish.

 

The cost of this option will include an element for rental of premises for an additional venue which will be ongoing, but may be slightly offset by an anticipated increase in client income.


2.2      Option 2

 

Take up of this option will ensure the provision of an education and training service on the Island, including open access courses such as ‘New Life New Challenge’ and ‘Taking Charge of Your Life’. Anger Management and Stress Management courses can also be provided for the general public or tailor-made to organisations’ requirements. Other bespoke training can be arranged, particularly courses for schools, colleges and prisons etc.

 

The cost of providing this service is £4,000 over two years. It is hoped that this service will only need limited further support to become self-financing on an ongoing basis.
