Accommodation Standards

Supported Living

The Supported Living Accommodation Standards set out the requirements for the quality of Supported Living accommodation for adults with disabilities in Essex and outside of Essex, for services commissioned by Essex County Council.

Essex County Council's strategic intention is that all the Supported Living Schemes in the administrative county of Essex will provide good quality accommodation to adults and support them with gaining independence, meeting their assessed outcomes and living meaningful lives.

The Supported Living Accommodation Standards document specifies the requirements for good quality Supported Living accommodation. Essex County Council will consider these requirements before on-boarding a property.

Further to this, the Supported Living On-Boarding process document gives full information on the procedures followed to on-board Supported Living accommodation.

The following documents describe the requirements and the on-boarding process:
