Background Information
The Care Act 2014 states that Occupational Therapists (OT’s) are well placed to undertake assessment or review of an individual or carer with complex support needs. OT intervention is primarily preventative, and the cost benefits associated with the provision of personalised home adaptations is well evidenced. OT’s are effective at preventing, reducing or delaying the need for care and support based on a holistic picture of the individual or family, taking into consideration informal support networks and an asset-based approach which is complementary to maximising individual and community Resilience
Our overall outcome for Redbridge Adult Services is to promote the wellbeing of people in Redbridge, making the best use of available resources to enable adults to live in the community independently and safely, free from abuse and neglect.
Due to an increase in demand for assessments and limited internal capacity there is a backlog in Occupational Therapy (OT) assessments at Redbridge Council. We are therefore seeking to outsource OT assessments to be completed over a 12-month period to clear the backlog. At this stage there is no commitment to a minimum or maximum number of cases that will be required by the provider.
