Supplier(s)
Description
Norfolk County Council wish to award a contract to reduce holding lists at pace to ensure people are supported in a timely manner and are supported to achieve ideal outcomes - living in the right place with the right level of support'. Norfolk County Council, like many other local authorities, has a holding list of referrals for people waiting an intervention including a Care Act assessment or reassessment, including supporting our focused post discharge assessment work. Undertaking Care Act assessments and reassessments is a statutory requirement where a person appears to the local authority to be in need of a community care service. The assessment of need, including a determination of eligibility under the Act, will include a strength's-based discussion between the person referred, their representatives and the assessor, where they will discuss care and support needs, and the goals the person wishes to achieve. This will include identifying the person's strengths, capacity within the person's social networks and local community to help and how the local authority will support the person to promote their independence to prevent, reduce and delay the need for formal care services.
