Essex County Council aspires to working in partnership with the market collectively.  The Council see the care market as a collaborative partner that works across our network of systems to provide, transform and shape care services and outcomes for people.

Strong relationships between ECC and the care market are vital moving forward. Coproduction, sharing of strategic goals, strategic thinking and an agile approach to learning, and shaping services is vital.

Technology, a strong workforce, greater sharing of feedback, shared problem solving and joined up approaches are all key.

A healthy ecosystem requires multiple organisations in our community to benefit each other on their actions, such as adults, digital products and services, providers and partners. Moving forward the Council are keen to be a key player influencing change.
