Market Context

People with Mental Health needs have the ability recover and services should support recovery and not maintain the status quo.

Services need to be creative and innovative, and person centred in their solutions to meet a wide range of assessed needs and need to be able to motivate people.

Domiciliary services should be enabling and focusing wider than personal care and assist, enable and support people to learn new skills.

Staffing needs to be diverse and represent the needs of the client group.

For the most complex people services require specialist mental health training skills.

Services are able to keep people safe, but ECC still has too much traditional service provision. Generally, services struggle to motivate the person to take more control.

Staffing is not currently matched to the person and is not necessarily representative of the person’s needs.

Services need to be more creative and innovative.

Limited impact due to low volume overall but a handful of delayed starts particularly in areas which are more geographically remote

Current market risks:

  • Recruitment and retaining of staff with the right skills mix is challenging in the current market.
  • Matching of staff to adults can be difficult resulting in the provision of double handed care.

ECC are currently looking to review the current services and then plan an approach to secure more progressive services that will help and enable people to recover, working with predetermined support plans to avoid dependency.
