Please find the link to a set of guiding principles for intermediate care that have been developed jointly across the Eastern Region by ADASS and NHSE. They have been developed as a collaborative process between NHS and Local Authority staff in the Eastern Region with experience in the delivery and commissioning of intermediate care, drawing on best practice and existing guidance and national reviews. Please use this document as a resource to support your work as a system when developing your intermediate care offer – the step up in the community as well as step down from hospital.

We are proud of our collaborative work in the East of England and firmly believe that sharing practice examples across the region is an important part of our sector led improvement work, giving councils and partners the opportunity to learn from each other. For the first time this year, we have brought together some practice examples into a regional report to showcase different aspects of adult safeguarding work highlighting ways that organisations are working together to protect the rights of adults who have care and support needs (and because of those needs, are unable to protect themselves against abuse or neglect or the risk of it) to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.

This is the write up from the September 2024 Over a Brew which was focused on the needs of unpaid carers.

Please find attached, the emerging themes for individual Over a Brew sessions held in local authority areas during co-production week in 2024.  Many local authorities engaged in the support offer which was funded by the Regional Sector Led Improvement Programme.

Please find the write up from the review of our "Over a Brew" and "Putting People at the Heart of Care and Support" working group over the last year setting out reflections and next steps.  The meeting took place in person on the 10th September 2024.  The presentation involved some ripple mapping recording of what difference the regional "Over a Brew" is making to local co-production delivery.  It contains some useful and exciting progress of which we will continue to build upon with a new commitment document being created for 2025/26.

Please find attached the September letter for 2024 setting out the programme for the publication of adult social care data.
