Improving Prevention Services in Havering

Overview

Join the conversation! Your views will help us shape future prevention services to develop community health and wellbeing.

Havering is engaging on a new approach to commissioning Prevention Services aimed at developing and maintaining independence, assisting with the development of skills and strategies, and increasing personal resilience for residents across Havering. 

It is crucial for us to support our residents in maintaining their independence and engaging with activities and services that enhance their quality of life. Your feedback on this survey is essential in guiding and improving our future prevention services for the community.

What do we mean by Prevention services?

The London Borough of Havering commissions services that focus on helping residents live independent lives, reducing the need for more intense support, such as visits to hospitals or formal social care support.

These Prevention Services are designed to proactively address issues before they escalate into more serious problems. These services aim to improve outcomes for individuals and communities by providing early intervention and support.

Key aspects of prevention services include:

• Promoting well-being: Encouraging overall health and mental well-being.
• Preventing or delaying the need for care and support: Addressing issues early to avoid the need for more intensive care.
• Promoting choice and control: Helping individuals plan their care and support.
• Addressing carers' needs: Ensuring carers are aware they can access an assessment of their own needs.
• Providing access to information and advice: Offering resources and guidance to residents.
• Promoting quality services, sustainability, and choice: Ensuring services are effective and sustainable.
• Promoting safeguarding: Ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals
