Growing Older Planning Ahead
Tees Valley Healthwatch Network worked in partnership with North East Commissioning Support on behalf of the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) with the aim of delivering a local review in response to the national requirement to improve the planning process for families, who care for an adult with a learning disability, when they can no longer support their family member to stay at home.
The particular focus of this project is to improve support for families, carers, and older people with learning disability (aged 40+ to reflect the early onset of chronic health conditions such as dementia) by producing effective recommendations.
We have produced a South Tees report of our findings from our engagement with adults with a learning disability, their carers and professionals.
The Tees Valley Combined Report can also be found below.

GP Resource Evaluation
In August 2023 we produced our GP Resource in collaboration with a range of professionals in response to the most common questions we heard from local people. We also wanted to raise awareness of the changes that are now in place in GP practice teams, to help people understand how to make the most of the range of options available from this service.
Following the launch, we received many positive comments from health care professionals. We wanted to find out if our GP resource was helpful to local people as well as professionals. With this purpose, we carried out a number of engagement activities in order to collect evidence of the impact of the resource on local people.

Redcar and Cleveland Adult Social Care Letters
Redcar and Cleveland Council have commissioned Healthwatch to evaluate their Adult Social Care Services. This is our first report, we looked at the letters sent to people who use Adult Social Care, for the purposes of the report who spoke to groups of people and completed an online survey. Once the report was completed the local authority provided feedback on how this information will be used going forward.
