YoHr Regs is a regional transformation programme funded through Local Government Yorkshire & Humber’s Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (RIEP). The RIEP in Yorkshire & Humber has been called YoHr Space, to reflect the view that it is about providing an open space where local authorities can innovate and improve. YoHR Regs presents an opportunity for all Yorkshire & Humber local authority Environmental Health, Trading Standards, Licensing and related regulatory services, including the region’s fire and rescue services, to strengthen collaboration, seek to develop a new partnership identity and further drive modernisation and delivery of improved outcomes.

About the event The aims of the event and workshops are to; · · · ·
Launch YoHr Regs and raise awareness of the programme Develop a shared vision for Regulatory Services in Yorkshire and Humber Explore the challenges of promoting Regulatory Services as a regional partnership Develop strategies, knowledge and networks to develop the programme across the region
Key themes to be considered include; · · · · · ·
Effectiveness of existing arrangements for joint working, collaboration and data sharing The profile and brand identity of Regulatory Services with elected members, citizens and businesses The role of Regulatory Services in providing business advice and support New approaches to business compliance and regulatory intervention Peer support to Regulatory Services implementing mobile and flexible working solutions and potential for shared services Future direction and workforce development
About the agenda, speakers and workshops The event will be chaired by Ken Eastwood, Assistant Director of Regulatory Services at Barnsley MBC. Ken has led the ReGS mobile and flexible working project, Chairs the Nomad North mobile working Forum and is leading a Retail Enforcement Pilot in Barnsley and South Yorkshire. Ken is YoHr Regs Senior Responsible Owner and current Chair of the Steering Group. The event begins by considering the national dimension and the changing shape of Regulatory Services, through a presentation by Graham Russell, Chief Executive of the Local Better Regulation Office (LBRO). The LBRO is working with local authorities, central government and a range of professional and representative bodies to support improvement in individual services as well as improving the underlying system of local regulation. It has also established and will manage the primary authority scheme. Russ James, Area Fire Safety Commander, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service will describe the establishment of the Greater Manchester Public Protection Partnership, the development of radically different models for service delivery and an innovative business compliance project. After refreshments, Ken Eastwood will take a light hearted look at predicting the future and the rate of change in society before introducing the future basing workshops. The aim of the first workshop is to promote big thinking and to capture an unconstrained vision for Regulatory Services in 2020. Delegates will work in groups at their tables (the venue will be set out cabaret style) and flip chart their vision. The charts will be displayed around the venue and delegates encouraged to review and consider further over the lunch and networking break. After lunch Nigel Pearson, Chief Executive at East Riding Council, will provide an update on YoHr Space, Yorkshire and Humber's Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (RIEP). Nigel is the Chief Executive lead for Efficiency and Procurement on the RIEP's Partnership Delivery Group. Part two of the Future Visioning workshop will involve a look back from the future and consideration of what needs to happen to enable the vision to be achieved. This session will begin to distil thinking and identify and inform possible work programmes.
About the event Delegates will be asked to choose one of six key themes for the final workshop session and, with the benefit of the earlier visioning work, consider how YoHr Regs should develop its future work programme, contributing ideas and views on priorities and hurdles to be overcome. Delegates will be asked to consider the development of Programme Delivery Groups (PDG’s) from the workshop theme groups and to identify PDG Leads and volunteers to participate in YoHr Regs activity going forward. Each theme group will be asked to feedback on their workshop and there will be opportunity for group discussion. The event will close with an open “what next” discussion.
The venue The Royal York Hotel elegantly combines the historic and the modern. With its glorious Victorian architecture carefully preserved, alongside great bedrooms and elegant wedding and special event rooms, it also features a purpose-built Events Centre, with breakout areas and capacity for up to 150 delegates cabaret style.
