Ideas/Useful links for researching provider information include:

  • Local Offer
  • Care Quality Commission or The Care Inspectorate Wales
  • Social Services/ Clinical Commissioning Teams may have their own provider lists, Housing Officer and / or Brokerage Service.
  • Many housing providers have a mailing list advertising their current vacancies.
  • Disability Sports websites
  • Ableize
  • Volunteering opportunities
  • Enterprise Co-ordinator (Careers and Enterprise Company) for employer links.
  • Networking. Are their networks in your local area that you can be a part of? For example – Gloucestershire Active Inclusion Network meet regularly and send out information about inclusive groups across the county.

Use a disclaimer when sending out lists of provider information as information can change quickly.
