Description

ECC is currently looking to re-commissioning services to support unpaid carers in Essex (over the age of 18yrs) with a view to having a new service/s in place by 1st April 2018.

Our current provision for unpaid carers includes a range of support including;
- a single point of contact for carers for Information,
- advice and guidance,
- connecting carers to carers groups and specialist support,
- telephone and face to face emotional and practical support which sometimes takes place in carers' homes.
- hospital link workers who support carers at point of discharge and support for carers with primary care providers
- short term support for those carers requiring immediate support.
- support for carers supporting someone at end of life.

ECC will be undertaking a tender process to secure a new service later in the year, however, we wanted to make you aware of types of services we are looking to procure. Therefore we will be hosting a market engagement event on 5th April 2017, 10am to 12noon in Chelmsford to test the potential model with providers.

If you would like to book a place on this event, please send an email to Simon Evans (Simon.evans@essex.gov.uk).
