We are here to make sure your views on health and social care services in Essex are heard so that they can be improved. Through our network of volunteers, we can be the “eyes and ears” of the people of Essex – from Harlow to Harwich, Saffron Walden to Castle Point, and everywhere in between. We also work with existing voluntary and community groups to find out what matters to our citizens. And, most importantly, we have powers in law which give us influence. We will feed back what we discover to the authorities, who have a legal responsibility to use our findings to shape and improve services. This means you can be reassured that your views really do count. House rules
