We will meet again in six months’ time to hold us all accountable in driving this forward.”Cornwall Council Leader, Leigh Frost said:“The debate has highlighted we are constrained by national policy in a lot of the issues but that doesn’t mean we can’t all work together to try to influence change in these areas. We now have all the right people around the table to push this forward and a joint commitment to make a positive change.”Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Director for Public Health, Eunan O’Neill said:“We have heard some very worrying stories about people in Cornwall who have felt like their only option is to pull their own teeth out. It’s very alarming and we need people to understand that there is access to NHS dental services in an emergency.“Our Public Health team will also be ramping up our offer to children and young people by making sure as many families as possible know how best to look after their dental health.”Dr Chris Reid, Chief Medical Officer for NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board, said:"We really welcome the commitment from partners across Cornwall to work together to improve access to NHS dental services and support local residents to get the care they need."While we know NHS dentistry faces significant challenges nationally, we are determined to do everything we can locally to improve access. As the commissioner of local NHS dental services, we are committed to improving dental services and have invested in providing additional urgent dental care appointments, a mobile dental unit, recruiting more dentists and supporting practices to take on NHS dental contracts. "By working together across the NHS, local government and dental providers, we want to help more people get timely dental care and improve oral health for our communities."You can read a summary of the panel’s discussion, as well as the action plan in more detail by visiting the Let’s Talk Cornwall website.Let's Talk Dentistry Summit page

Medical evidence shows that the benefits of being active as you get older are more than just physical. For older adults in particular, regular movement helps maintain strength and balance, reduces the risk of falls, supports independence and benefits mental as well as physical health. Across the Duchy, Active Cornwall coordinates a series of Wellbeing Walks in partnership with Ramblers UK and other local partners which are open to all abilities. Cabinet Member for Adults, Councillor Jim McKenna, said: “Earlier this year Cornwall became part of the Network of Age Friendly Communities, and keeping people active is one of our key priorities for ageing well. “Age-friendly communities work together to help people stay active and more connected, which promotes better health and reduces our need for urgent care and treatment.” In a 2026 report, Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England recommends that adults, including those over 65, aim for around 150 minutes of moderate activity a week and a brisk walk counts towards it. Cllr McKenna continued: “The guidance is clear, some activity is always better than none, and any amount brings benefits over sitting still.” So small, regular movement rather than intense exercise, is at the heart of this approach. Cornwall’s free wellbeing walks are led by trained volunteers, open to all abilities, and held everywhere from coast paths to garden estates to town parks. Kathryn is one of the attendees at the Wellbeing Walk held at Heligan Gardens: “If I’m feeling down I come, because I know have built these friendship groups up and it really helps lift my spirits. “We see the animals, we see the plants and every week there is something different going on. The people I’m with, they ask how you are, it’s just good to talk.” The Global Age-Friendly Cities and Communities programme was developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO)and launched in 2007. It’s about making things such as community spaces accessible and helping people to stay active and socially engaged as they get older. Rob Harrison from Active Cornwall says physical activity is important as you get older: “There are obviously physical benefits of getting out and being active, but also the social element is massively important. You could come to walk on your own, but you go away with friends and have that network and community.” For more information on the Wellbeing Walks please visit the Active Cornwall website.Active Cornwall website And for more on walking and other physical activities that are available for people across Cornwall, please visit the Age Friendly Cornwall website.Age Friendly Cornwall website

Cornwall Council and Homes England, the government’s housing and regeneration agency, have strengthened joint efforts to deliver regeneration and new homes for local communities by signing a new partnership agreement.The two organisations are entering into a Memorandum of Understanding, reaffirming a long-term commitment to work together to support Cornwall's growth, housing and regeneration ambitions.The move brings greater formality to an existing strong partnership between the council and the Agency and provides a framework for exploring opportunities and aligning priorities, focusing on five key areas:Working together to accelerate housing delivery across CornwallUnlocking public sector-led housing and regeneration projects.Supporting private sector investment and development.Increasing the delivery of affordable homes.Supporting infrastructure and planning needed to enable future growthIt builds on a strong track record of working together to unlock housing and regeneration opportunities across Cornwall, including large scale delivery at St Austell, Truro and Newquay.The agreement comes as residents across Cornwall continue to feel the impact of the ongoing housing crisis. More than 20,000 households with a connection to Cornwall are currently registered in housing need, while around 800 households are at risk of homelessness and are being supported by the council in temporary or emergency accommodation.At the same time, increased construction costs are making housing developments more challenging to deliver in our more affordable places to live, leading to stalled schemes and vacant sites.In agreeing to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with Homes England, Cllr Peter La Broy, the council’s cabinet member for housing, said: “The establishment of the Place Partnership with Homes England is an important step in bringing together expertise, investment opportunities and resources to help deliver the homes our communities need."Affordable housing remains one of our biggest priorities. By working closely with Homes England, we can strengthen our ability to unlock sites, support housing projects, attract additional funding and increase the supply of affordable homes for local people."This agreement reflects the scale of Cornwall's housing challenge, but also our ambition to tackle it. Ultimately, it is about creating more housing opportunities for residents and helping ensure that people can continue to live and thrive in the communities they call home."Kate McBride, Homes England Executive Regional Director for the South, said: "This agreement further strengthens our long-standing partnership and reflects how the agency aims to tailor its approach, in collaboration with local partners, to support the unique needs and ambitions of different communities across the country.”“This agreement formalises the next chapter for a close collaboration that has already unlocked projects across Cornwall, and will help us work together effectively to support long-term housing, regeneration and economic growth ambitions."ENDS

An innovative new package of training has been developed that will help adult social care workers in Cornwall to build confidence, leadership behaviours and practical skills earlier in their careers.The Future Care Leader Programme has been commissioned by Proud to Care Cornwall to support care workers who are at the beginning of their leadership journey.The programme aims to build the next generation of care leaders and create a clear progression pathway to Registered Manager roles. Cornwall Council Cabinet Lead for Adult Social Care and Health Partnerships, Cllr Jim McKenna said:“Strong leadership is one of the biggest factors influencing care workers’ wellbeing, retention, quality of care and organisational performance.“The programme forms part of Cornwall's care workforce strategy which aims to support people to experience good work and deliver excellent social care, making sure they are recognised and valued for their contribution within the health and care sector.“We are committed to developing and supporting our care workers and to attracting and retaining a workforce that reflects the community we serve.” Following a competitive process, Diagram Learning Studio was appointed to design and deliver the programme. Their approach combines innovative digital learning techniques with immersive, scenario-based learning experiences.Chad and Vicky from Diagram Learning Studio said:“We’re so excited to be working with Proud to Care Cornwall. At Diagram Learning Studio, we believe leadership is best developed through practice. That’s why our learning uses realistic scenarios, giving people a safe environment to explore challenges, discuss different perspectives and learn alongside their peers.”Cllr McKenna added:“It has been intentionally designed around the realities of working in adult social care. Care workers are often shift workers, balancing their competing demands with limited time for formal learning.“Rather than relying on lengthy classroom sessions, participants learn through immersive situations based on leadership challenges they are likely to encounter in a care setting.”The training has been developed with people already working in Cornwall’s adult social care sector, bringing together experienced leaders to help shape the content, scenarios and learning experience. This ensures the programme reflects real challenges and opportunities faced by care professionals in Cornwall. The focus is on people who are relatively early in their leadership journey rather than established managers. Applications are expected to open ahead of the first cohort around November 2026. Further details on eligibility, cohort dates and how to apply will be announced through Proud to Care Cornwall communications channels.Find out more about careers in care on the Proud to Care Cornwall website.Proud to Care Cornwall website

A new £1m trial launches this week in Cornwall to identify the best types of support to help young people get into work, training or education.It is being run though the Council’s YEP (Youth Engagement Project) team and aims to support around 1,000 young people across our communities.The trial has been funded by Youth Futures Foundation, a national not-for-profit organisation that works to ensure marginalised young people can thrive.Called a Randomised Control Trial, it will run from September 2026 until September 2027.Cllr Hilary Frank, Cabinet Member for Children, Schools and Families at Cornwall Council, said:“This funding gives us an important opportunity to help support more young people who are looking for education, employment or training.“Our Youth Engagement Project has already made a huge difference to many young people who have been given the right support to build confidence, develop new skills and take their next step.“This trial will help us understand which approaches have the greatest impact. Then we can build on what works, strengthen the support we provide and help even more young people across Cornwall succeed.”Under the trial, young people aged 16 to 24 who are currently not in education, employment or training (NEET) will be supported through one of two pathways.Everyone who joins the project will attend an initial meeting to help identify the support they need and explain the programme. Young people will then be randomly placed into one of the pathways:Pathway OneYoung people will receive support for up to six months. The first half of delivery - up to 12 weeks - will focus on confidence, motivation and life skills via one-to-one sessions and small group activities.

Cornwall Council’s Trading Standards team has issued a warning over potentially dangerous squishy dumpling toys.The sensory toys, which are shaped like bao buns, have become hugely popular with children and young people.However, the rapid growth in demand has led to an increasing number of manufacturers producing the toys, and some products on sale in the UK do not meet the required safety standards.Cornwall Council’s Trading Standards team is urging parents and carers to check for the UKCA or CE safety markings when buying the toys, and to throw away any squishies that have a strong chemical smell.Concerns about squishy dumplings first came to light after Trading Standards officers in Swansea identified products being sold with a strong chemical or solvent smell. Testing revealed the outer layer of the toys contained excessive levels of benzene, a toxic chemical which can cause drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and irritation to the eyes, nose and throat.The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) subsequently issued a recall for products sold by Samsons Cash & Carry Ltd.In Cornwall, hundreds of squishy dumplings have been removed from sale after Trading Standards officers raised safety concerns. Samples that were sent away for testing did not comply with UK standards because they did not include vital safety information on the label. Fraser Glennie, Team Manager at Cornwall Trading Standards, said: “These products have become extremely popular, particularly among children and young people, but some squishy dumplings on the market may pose serious safety risks."Our officers are working proactively with retailers across Cornwall to identify potentially unsafe products and remove them from sale where necessary.“We urge consumers to be cautious when purchasing these toys and to avoid any products that have a strong chemical smell.”Councillor Thalia Marringon, cabinet member with responsibility for Community Safety and Public Protection at Cornwall Council, said: “Children’s safety has to be our top priority and I urge parents and carers to be cautious when purchasing these toys.“If you have concerns about a toy, especially if it does have a strong smell, please do not allow your children to play with it.“We will continue to work with retailers to ensure that products sold here in Cornwall are safe.”Anyone concerned about the safety of a product should stop using it immediately and report it to Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.Press release issued on August 27, 2026

Examples of Cole’s sub-standard work including a steel beam that was fitted upside down, leaving masonry unsupportedA rogue trader who took thousands of pounds from customers for work he never finished has been prosecuted for fraud.Matthew Cole, of Chesterfield Road, Plymouth, appeared at Truro Crown Court on Wednesday, August 26 for sentencing.At an earlier hearing, Cole, aged 44, admitted acting dishonestly by making false representations and misusing client deposits, diverting funds between jobs while continuing to accept payments despite knowing he could not fulfil his commitments.Cole took large sums of money from several customers in Cornwall for building projects he failed to complete. He also charged VAT to customers, despite not being registered for VAT.One victim paid over £39,000 for a garage conversion. Cole fitted incorrect lintels and built a wall that was of such a poor standard it had to be demolished. Cole did not finish the job and due to the costs involved, the victim could not afford to get the works put right.Another victim paid over £18,000 to Cole towards a £25,000 property renovation. Only 20% of the work was completed before Cole gave a string of excuses and abandoned the job. Building Control advised that the work completed was so poor that it would need to be completely removed.Sentencing, His Honour Judge Simon Carr said he believed Cole started off as a genuine builder running a legitimate company but started taking on work that “he couldn't possibly complete".Cole was sentenced to 15 months in prison for each of the five charges, to run concurrently, suspended for two years.Gary Webster, Trading Standards Group Leader at Cornwall Council, said: “Cole overextended the business, taking on more work than he could manage, and relied on subcontractors whose work quality he could not guarantee.“The quality of the work deteriorated as workloads increased. He continued to take payments for work he knew he would be unable to complete. Despite assurances to customers that their money was being spent on specific materials, he misused the funds for other purposes.”Councillor Thalia Marrington, cabinet member with responsibility for Community Safety and Public Protection at Cornwall Council, said “This case highlights a serious breach of trust. Victims paid thousands for work that was never finished, leaving them out of pocket and facing further expense to put things right.“Cornwall Council will continue to take action against rogue traders who exploit customers, and we are happy that the sentence reflects the harm caused in this case.”Press release issued on August 27, 2026

Cornwall has officially launched its fourth Mockingbird ‘constellation’ for foster families.Located in the East, it joins three similar support networks already up and running across our communities.A launch event was held in the Liskeard area last month for the seven foster families and 16 children in care who make up the constellation.Children enjoyed a bouncy castle, the nearby park, and craft activities. They also decorated their own cups in Mockingbird colours to be kept at the hub home for future visits.Part of the international Mockingbird model, each constellation links up local foster families with a ‘hub home’ at its centre.The idea is to create a local community of foster families who support and interact with each other on a regular basis, led by the hub carers.It comes as numbers of children in care nationally continue to rise, while foster care applications in most areas are falling. At any one time there are up to 40 children or young people in Cornwall who need a place to call home. In Cornwall, we are attracting more foster carers by improving the training, support and practical help that foster carers receive.Tania and Rich, Hub Home Carers for Cornwall’s fourth constellation, said:“We are delighted that we are officially stepping into the role of a Mockingbird Hub Home and are incredibly happy and proud to take on this privilege.“Our focus will be on nurturing peer support, delivering planned sleepovers to ensure continuity of care, and creating meaningful community links for both carers and children.“We can’t wait to work with our satellite carers to provide a warm and reliable network of support and celebrate the achievements of all the young people within our constellation.”Cllr Hilary Frank, Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Schools at Cornwall Council, said:“It’s wonderful to welcome our fourth Mockingbird constellation in Cornwall, and I’m delighted to see the difference the model is making for our fostering families.“Fostering can be incredibly rewarding, but there can also be difficult days. That’s why Mockingbird works so well. It creates the sense of an extended family, where carers and children share both the highs and the lows, knowing there is always someone to turn to.”Two further constellations are planned for 2026 with the addition of two new liaison workers, who will form a dedicated Mockingbird team within the Council’s fostering service.If you would like more information on how to get involved with Mockingbird in Cornwall please contact Catherine Hattem, Mockingbird Lead at catherine.hattem@cornwall.gov.ukIf you could offer a child, teenager or siblings a home, call the Fostering South West hub on 0300 456 0120 or to find out more visit the fostering pages on the council's website.
