Almost 1,000 checks were carried out by social workers after concerns were raised about vulnerable adults in Brighton and Hove last year.

The checks - to work out whether vulnerable adults were at risk of, for example, sexual abuse, violence or financial exploitation - are a new requirement after the law changed three years ago.

Already, Brighton and Hove City Council social workers have been given briefings after the death of a vulnerable adult.

A report said that the person "was homeless (and) at times not engaging with support agencies, and with a personality disorder".

The report said that "advanced level safeguarding training" was also to be provided for senior and experienced social workers.

The details of the training course were still being finalised. But "core training" for social workers known as "lead inquiry officers" who carry out checks - or assessments - of vulnerable adults had been completed by 75 per cent of the relevant staff.

And 65 per cent of the relevant staff had been given "Prevent" training to help them identify adults at risk of being "radicalised" or exploited by "extremists".

A report to the council's Audit and Standards Committee said that the training was being given to all assessment service staff, senior social workers and a raft of managers.

With 97 staff having received the training so far, a further 53 are expected to undergo Prevent training by April next year.

The concerns and the steps being taken to deal with them are set out in a report on strategic risks. It is due to be discussed by the Audit and Standards Committee at Hove Town Hall tomorrow.

The NHS in Kent and Medway has announced Dartford, Maidstone and Ashford as its preferred locations for new hyper acute stroke units.

They would replace smaller units in acute hospitals across the region.

NHS bosses say the units, at the Darent Valley, Maidstone and William Harvey Hospitals, would provide better, more consistent care.

Tunbridge Wells and Medway Maritime hospitals were also considered as possible locations.

The proposal is being put forward following a public consultation between February and April this year.

Campaigners against the idea staged a demonstration in Margate, claiming their nearest stroke centre would be more than an hour away in Ashford.

Medway Council leader Alan Jarrett said the decision was a "bitter blow" for the people of Medway and "potentially puts many hundreds of lives at risk".

Kent's clinical commissioning groups say 98% of people will live within an hour's ambulance journey from one of the new hyper acute units, which they say have brought deaths from strokes down by nearly 100 a year in London.

A final decision will be made in January 2019.

A major redevelopment scheme for Seaford costing more than £18m has been approved by councillors.

As part of the plans for the site off Sutton Road, the Downs Leisure Centre is set to be retained and improved alongside a new healthcare hub, convenience food store with flats above, grass mini-pitch and extra parking spaces.

The current facility, leased to Wave Leisure, would be reconfigured with a new entrance and offices, while the Downs 60+ Club would continue to run within the leisure centre building.

A capital budget of £17.2m to fund the project was approved by Lewes District Council cabinet members on Monday.
