Foreword. The changes to the United Kingdom’s (UK) competition law system, introduced under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 and in force since April 2014, are designed to improve the effectiveness of competition law enforcement in this country. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has competition law powers which apply across the whole economy. Sectoral regulators such as the Office of Rail and Road (XXX) may exercise the competition law powers to enforce the prohibitions on anti-competitive agreements and on abuse of a dominant position, and to make market investigation references, concurrently with the CMA in those sectors for which they have responsibility. The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 introduced a number of changes to improve the working of concurrency and to enable closer working between the CMA and sectoral regulators. The CMA and the sectoral regulators have demonstrated their commitment to making the concurrency framework more effective through the establishment of the UK Competition Network (UKCN). This represents an enhanced forum for cooperation which will enable closer working with the objective of more consistent and effective use of competition powers across all sectors. In their statement of intent in December 2013, the members of the UKCN affirmed: ‘The mission of the UKCN will be to promote competition for the benefit of consumers and to prevent anti-competitive behaviour both through facilitating use of competition powers and development of pro-competitive regulatory frameworks, as appropriate.’1 This memorandum of understanding (MoU) represents a further stage in the process of cooperation between the CMA and the regulators, setting out more practical detail on how the CMA and the XXX will work together within the framework of competition law.2 The main purpose of this MoU is to establish an understanding between the CMA and the XXX as to how this closer working will work in practice. It draws on the legislation which sets out the formal framework for how concurrency will operate and also, importantly, sets out our bilateral commitment to look for opportunities to work together, including within the framework of the UKCN, to promote competition for the 1 UKCN (2013), Statement of Intent. 2 This MoU does not relate to ‘regulatory appeals’ – that is, the separate role that the CMA has in considering references relating to proposed direct regulatory action by the XXX under the sectoral statutes. This is a separ...

Foreword. The general purpose of this Public Works Joint Powers Mutual Aid Agreement (“Agreement”) is to provide a process for units of government to share public works personnel and equipment with other agencies within the State of Minnesota. This Agreement specifically allows a requesting party to select the resources that best meets the needs of a given situation. A requesting party may call upon any other participating party for mutual aid. There is no requirement to make requests through a particular party. In addition, this Agreement should not be interpreted as being limited to providing resources to deal with only major catastrophic situations. Participating parties can utilize the resources for many reasons including routine circumstances such as training efforts, maintenance operations, joint-projects, and back-up support service. This Agreement provides the flexibility for all units of government to use the resources located among all participating parties in the State of Minnesota. The decision as to when to invoke mutual aid and whether to respond is left to the discretion of the requesting or sending party. Each unit of government should acquaint supervisory personnel with any internal procedures used for mutual aid. While the Joint Powers Agreement does not require particular words or actions to initiate mutual aid, agencies should be clear about whether mutual aid is being requested and what type of assistance is requested. The responding agency should also be clear about what, if any, assistance they will provide in response to the request. Parties should not self-deploy. Furthermore, each staff member within a department should have a basic familiarity with mutual aid, the responsibilities when reporting to another unit of government and the protections afforded under the unit of government’s workers’ compensation. For liability reasons, management of a mutual aid situation is under the control of the requesting party. However, the sending party has discretion whether to provide personnel or equipment and can recall such assistance at any time. While there is no hard and fast time limit related to requests for mutual aid, the commitment of resources can be taxing on agencies. In addition, in some situations an advantage can be gained by ending a mutual aid request and entering into a different form of contractual assistance. In order to keep this mutual aid agreement closer to local level of government, Hennepin County Emergency Management (“HCEM”)...
Foreword. This agreement seeks to provide a framework across Solihull for all key strategic partners to work in collaboration to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people. It is set within the context and principles laid out in the articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and in recognition that all children and young people’s right to participate in decision-making is enshrined in law via Section 19 of the Children and Families Act 2014, the SEND Code of Practice and the Care Act 2015. We acknowledge that good participation does not just mean listening to children and young people and their parent carers, but also acting on their input and giving them good feedback about the decisions we make. In order to ensure that all voices are heard, we will make sure that appropriate and accessible participation opportunities are available, providing the support that parent carers, children and young people need to take part in a way that works for them. Good participation will be embedded as standard across services, and considered from the very earliest stages of the commissioning cycle and throughout (from assessing needs, looking at best practice, service design and transformation, ensuring capacity meets demand to monitoring service provision). Roles & Responsibilities Statutory services Children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities often receive a number of different services. These could be provided by nurseries, schools or colleges and specialist therapists, as well as professionals in education, health and social care. Under the Children and Families Act 2014, the government placed new duties on the local health, social and education services that provide for these children and young people. In particular, the local area health, social and education services need to work together to: › publish a ‘local offer’ setting out the support and provision in the area for children and young adults with special educational needs or disabilities (or both) › provide accessible information to children and young people, as well as parents and carers, about the services and support available in the local area › work with children and young people, their parents and carers, and service providers to make sure that any special needs or disabilities (or both) are identified as early as possible › assess (in co-operation with children and young people and their parents and carers) the needs of children and young people ...
