Haringey’s market position statement – our service needs

Key services are needed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of our community. We need high-quality services that empower individuals, promote independence, and enhance well-being across the community. Providers should co-produce services with residents whom they support. Services will need to demonstrate their sustainability, considering environmental and economic factors.

1. Day opportunities

Skills development, community integration, and pathways to employment for younger adults. Vibrant, inclusive spaces where older adults can engage meaningfully.

2. Digital inclusion and technology

Improve access, and empower individuals to manage their own care. Care technology and equipment can keep people well and independent at home for longer so that they thrive in the community.

3. Homecare and enablement services with outcome-based, person-centred care

Personalised, outcome-focused approach that honours the dignity, preferences, and potential of every individual requiring care.

4. Respite services

Enhanced residential and accommodation-based respite services, particularly for adults with learning disabilities. Meaningful activities and genuinely enabling, person-centred breaks for individuals receiving care, to provide respite for their caregivers.

5. Support for unpaid carers

Respite care, training, advice, and emotional support. 

6. Support for individuals with complex needs and behaviours that challenge

Equipping our staff with specialised training and expertise to effectively support these individuals across all forms of provision, including floating support services.
Extra Care services tailored to meet these needs. Positive behavioural support (PBS) and trauma-informed practices throughout the provider market, and a strengths-based approach.

7. More care and support ‘in crisis’ provision

Short-term accommodation-based options and short-term 24-hour 'live-in' support services. These services must be able to accommodate individuals with complex needs and behaviours that challenge, equipped with trained staff who are confident to accept and safely support emergency placements in a short turnaround time.

8. Dementia-friendly services

Dementia-friendly services across residential, nursing, and homecare settings.

9. More Move-On accommodation for individuals with mental health issues

High-quality move-on accommodation tailored to the specific needs of individuals with mental health issues, facilitating their transition from institutional settings to community-based living while promoting independence, recovery, and well-being.

10. Enhancing Direct Payment support services and market development

Providers to engage with a larger number of individuals who use and access a Direct Payment. Providers should collaborate with individuals in using direct payments creatively to meet their unique needs and aspirations. 

11. Strengthening transition services for young adults

Robust transition services that cater to the diverse needs of young individuals, preparing them for educational pursuits and entry into the workforce. An inclusive environment that empowers young adults with the essential skills, knowledge, and resources they need to thrive and achieve their full potential as they navigate this critical phase of life.
