SAICP acts as an umbrella organisation with the chairperson's of other support organisations in Suffolk sitting on SAICP's committee.  Membership covers domiciliary, voluntary, residential and nursing providers.  All Suffolk independent and voluntary social care sector Care Providers are most welcome to join.  Providers who are members of N&SCS Ltd will automatically become members of SAICP.

SCC Proposed policy in respect of Zero Rated homes

At the last Joint Suffolk Care Partnership meeting SCC presented a draft policy proposal in respect of providers who fall to a Zero Star rating.  SCC requested that this be circulated to providers in Suffolk inviting them to feedback on the proposal.  Providers should relay comments direct to Graham Gatehouse (via his PA, Val Howe’s email address).  I am attaching a copy of the proposal and explanation for your consideration. Download the proposal here: 

  • Val Howe’s email address is val.howe@acs.suffolkcc.gov.uk.  I would be grateful if you would also copy me in to any response at hilary@stowcare.co.uk.  This will then be discussed at the next JSCP meeting in January 09 prior to the final detail of the policy is determined. - Hilary Gibbs
