How we help in Havering
Local support in Havering
What to expect from an assessment
Havering describes its approach as Better Living: an assessment looks at independence, what the person wants to achieve and the support already around them. Its guidance explains how agreed needs lead to a support plan and how personal budgets can be used. Read this before contacting the council if you would like to understand the stages of arranging help.
Visit Havering Council resource →Support for someone providing unpaid care
Havering offers a separate carer's assessment for people supporting a relative, friend or neighbour. This considers the effect caring has on the carer's health, work and other commitments, rather than only the needs of the person receiving care. The council page gives the application routes and explains support and breaks, so families can raise the carer's own needs early.

Arranging care in Havering
Havering sits directly east of our Barking office, which is where its visits are scheduled from.
If you think the council may pay towards care, the first step is a free needs assessment from Havering Council. Anyone can ask for one, and it is separate from choosing a provider — you can approach us before, during or after it. We also work with direct payments, and with families who arrange and pay for care themselves.
To start with us instead, call 020 8214 1321 and we will arrange a home assessment in Havering and write a care plan with you before any visits begin.
