Supported Housing Elected Provider Panel (SHEPP)

Welcome to the SHEPP section of the Suffolk Supporting People website. Here you can find lots of useful information relating to the Provider Panel. 

 "The purpose of the provider panel is to do partly what it says on the tin. The panel is most importantly elected from the providers of supported housing in Suffolk and is therefore in place to allow you all to have a voice. It is therefore essential the panel makes communication with it as easy as possible and that providers in the county feel able to approach individual members.

As a group we must be well informed in order to influence the Commissioning Body and to some degree the Core Strategy Development Group. Conversely these bodies will use the panel as a consultation body. Simply this creates a need for us to talk and if we the panel is not doing this then we need to understand why.  Telephone me any time on 01473 228600"
