History

The Care Association is a long standing group which has historically covered Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Formulated informally some 20 years ago, the association’s main function was to be ‘one voice’ to tackle the ever present ‘us and them’ relationship between private care providers and the local authorities of both Hull City Council and the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

In December 2012 the stalwart of the Care Association; John Colebrook passed away. The Chair – Steve Hall also stood down. This presented the association with the opportunity for change. John had been a strong, verbal and supportive advocate for private providers. However, times were changing fast and the relationship with the councils was becoming more strained.

At a members meeting in February 2013 a motion was put forward to elect a new Management Committee, to include a new Chair and 5 new management members. A fully constituted Association Committee was elected and agreed and you can find details of the Management Committee on the ‘Contact MC member’ page.

Since 2013  the management committee have worked extremely hard to forge a mutually respectful and collaborative working relationship between providers and the councils and this has proved particularly positive in fee negotiations with East Riding and provided monthly Provider meetings with Hull. We recognise however, that there is a long way to go and we continue to represent local providers at many local, regional and national sector groups, working partnerships and events.

  • In representing members to negotiate with local government, NHS bodies with regard to service standards and fee payments;
  • To identify and promote the highest standards of service in the provision of care and the best value service standards in improving the Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire care services for the benefit of the inhabitants of the area/region.
  • To encourage the exchange of ideas between its members and to co-operate with other persons or bodies having similar or sympathetic objectives where such co-operation will be for the benefit of its members
