## Summary

The Surrey County Council has awarded the contract for "SCC - EK - RFQ - EDI Research" to Neighbourly Lab. The project focuses on exploring barriers faced by black, mixed, and GRT communities in accessing ASC, aiming to identify access inequalities and best practices to improve the situation. The contract period runs from 1st April 2024 to 31st July 2024, with the tender period ending on 28th February 2024. The project falls under the "Other community, social and personal services" category.

This tender from Surrey County Council presents an opportunity for businesses interested in community and social services. Companies with a focus on addressing inequalities in accessing care services and implementing best practices in diversity and inclusion would be well-suited to participate. The project aims to bring actionable insights to ASC staff to improve access for underrepresented communities, making it a valuable opportunity for businesses aligned with social impact and equitable service delivery.

## Notice

This project aims to explore, through accounts of people from black, mixed and GRT communities and their families, what barriers to accessing ASC they have faced, specifically drawing out the experiences of people around ASC assessments, including carer assessments. This will include examining reasons why participants have not had ASC assessments when they have been eligible, as well as how the experience has gone for the participants who have had them, to identify what is working well and what could be improved. Furthermore, the project aims to understand how best to mobilise the insight gained in order to address persistent barriers in accessing care for people from the ethnic backgrounds. The project aims to communicate this knowledge (what barriers lead to access inequalities and what best practice looks like) in a format where ASC staff can clearly take learning from it and utilise recommendations to ensure the information conveyed leads to action.
