About
Dorset County Council awarded a contract to Help and Care for the provision of training courses for carers of individuals living in the Dorset County Council area.
The contract, valued at AUD 237,256, commenced on 01 July 2015 and expires on 30 June 2017, with an option to extend for up to two years.
The training is aimed at carers who provide care for adults in their own environment, such as family members or neighbours, and who meet the criteria defined by the Care Act 2014.
The provider works in partnership with carers caseworkers employed by Dorset County Council Adult & Community Services Directorate across the seven NHS Dorset CCG localities, accepting instructions from them when arranging and providing training courses.
Dorset County Council also collaborates with NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to provide services to carers.
The Care Act 2014 introduced significant changes, including a right to assessment for carers and national minimum eligibility criteria.
The possibility of a pan Dorset offering will be explored during the initial contract period as part of the Better Together project, which would aim to provide a consistent offer to carers across Dorset, and any extension will be dependent upon this.
