David Watts, Assistant Director, Coventry City Council

The solution offered was tailored to our specific circumstances, and the extra capacity provided meant that we were able to respond to demand in an efficient and thorough manner, on time and to budget. The quality of the assessors provided was good, and we were pleased with the reliability of the service. Their in-house DoLS leads were able to quality check to Coventry’s standards, meaning the vast majority of assessments were accepted upon first submission with the remainder cleared extremely quickly. They are now in the process of running an ‘after care’ package, working with the council to clear new assessments. I would recommend ICS Assessment Services to a Council with similar challenges.

Glady Rhodes White OBE, Independent Consultant for Southampton City Council Children’s project

I was very impressed by the visual tracking of performance around key areas such as caseloads, visits in timescales, assessments in timescale, children seen etc. This suggested a good grip on critical KPI’s. The team was able to be placed at relatively short notice which was a key factor for Southampton.

Karen Kibblewhite, Head of Commissioning, Rutland County Council

ICS Assessment Services’ consultant developed a robust methodology and ensured that data was sourced to inform an accurate picture of care and associated costs; upon which negotiations could be undertaken. We were involved and advised throughout the process.

Internally, action was being undertaken to establish new commissioning processes and the insight provided by ICS Assessment Services’ consultant has been invaluable to this process. I would highly recommend ICS Assessment Services in the future for assignments of this nature.
