ICB or Place Policy Guidance/Key
Following the policy consultation which took place in June, the ICB has now formally approved a full suite of HR policies.
Previous CCG Staff
For previous CCG staff who transferred into the ICB, their CCG/place contractual policies will continue to be applied to them under TUPE regulations. However, there is now a single suite of non-contractual policies that will apply to all employees of the ICB. This will aid in consistency and fairness across the organisation. The contractual policies which will continue to apply to previous CCG staff are listed below:
- Attendance Management Policy
- Annual Leave Policy
- Grievance Policy
- Maternity, Paternity, Adoption, Parental Leave Policy
- Other Leave Policy (Inc AL at NEL)
- Pay Protection Policy
- Professional Registration Policy
The attached guidance/key has also been developed to refer back to explaining whether a policy is contractual or non-contractual and whether the previous place policy or the new ICB policy should be applied. Place policies are still available via CCG websites / shared drives, however please contact the HR team if you are unable to locate one.
New starters / new roles post 30 June 2022
For all new starters into the ICB or those who started new roles in the ICB post 30 June 2022 the full suite of ICB policies will apply to them. All ICB policies are available here: Documents and Publications - Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB). If you have any questions, please email HR on HR.HNYY@nhs.net.

Your Birthing Choices
Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnerhip asked women and birthing people across the patch what was important to them when choosing where to give birth. Across Humber and North Yorkshire, the NHS and local partners are looking at ways to improve healthcare in our region. Last year, as we started to consider how maternity and neonatal care could be delivered in the future, we launched a survey to hear from new and expectant mothers, women trying to conceive, surrogates, other birthing people, and their families about what matters to them when accessing maternity services.
Working collaboratively with Maternity Voice Partnerships (MVPs) across the region an engagement exercise called Your Birthing Choices was co-produced to help us better understand what environment people would prefer to give birth in, what influences their decisions on where to give birth, what their main concerns are and what could be put in place to alleviate those concerns. An incredible 1,136 people participated and shared their views, through either an online survey or by attending a focus group. You can read what they had to say, here.

ICS strategy development session
As we continue to establish our Integrated Care System (ICS) in Humber and North Yorkshire, we are looking to develop an ICS wide strategy over the next few months.
We want this to be a living and evolving strategy, developed differently to how other strategies have been. Our aim is to work together, through collaboration and mutuality, to develop a strategy that is collectively owned and enables all partners to meet the health, care and wellbeing needs of our local populations. We are developing the strategy ambition and want the input from staff working across the different NHS, Local Authority, VCSE and other organisations which form part of the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership.
We have started to hold regular open strategy sessions with colleagues across the Partnership. Two of these have already taken place on 25 May and 6 July 2022 and recordings from these sessions can be found here. For details of when the next meetings will be taking place and how to join these, please click here.

- “I have been looking for knowledge on this subject for a long time and was pleased to see this advertised on the intranet and this has been very valuable.”
