• Care at Home Provider Engagement Analysis and Feedback Attached Between July and September 2026, Cheshire East Council held a series of engagement events with contracted Care at Home providers as part of its ongoing market shaping and service development activity. The purpose of these sessions was to seek provider views on a range of topics that may help inform the future development of Care at Home services within Cheshire East. The engagement was designed to test ideas, explore opportunities and challenges, and gather insight from providers about what is working well, where improvements could be made, and what considerations should inform future service design.
