A new process has been introduced for re-aligning core (shared) support hours when an adult leaves a supported living scheme, but the remaining tenants still require a core support service.

Please find attached the spreadsheet which is referred to below:

SL Re-alignment SPT template

Interim process for realigning core hours

• Provider to email SPT the Realignment Spreadsheet - Email address: Service.PlacementTeam@essex.gov.uk

• Provider to email the Specialist Accommodation Team to inform them of the void for so this can be looked at for potential on-boarding / LOF in a timely way - Specialist.Accommodation@essex.gov.uk

• SPT complete adjustments for Shared Hours only if they are equally distributed, on Mosaic

• SPT to notify relevant quadrant Service/Team Manager if hours are not equally distributed to request scheme review

• SPT will send a revised Purchase Order to the provider highlighting Realignment of Shared Hours only
