Helping you meet your Care Act 2014 Responsibilities
At Clearing Crew, we specialise in hoard clearance and decluttering delivered with care, compassion, and professionalism. Our work supports local authorities in meeting their statutory duties under the Care Act 2014, particularly around wellbeing (S1), prevention (S2), and safeguarding adults at risk (S42).
We don’t just clear homes—we reduce risk, restore dignity, and help individuals live safely and independently.
Promoting Individual Wellbeing (S1)
The Act places a duty on local authorities to promote an individual’s wellbeing, including their dignity, safety, and control over day-to-day life.
Our trauma-informed, person-centred approach ensures individuals are involved in decisions and treated with respect. We work at their pace to reduce shame and build trust—restoring a sense of safety and control.
Preventing Needs for Care and Support (S2)
Local authorities must provide or arrange services that help prevent, reduce, or delay the development of care and support needs.
Our early intervention services prevent situations from worsening. By tackling environmental risks early, we help avoid crisis scenarios, hospital admissions, and care package escalations.
Supporting Carers and Informal Networks (S10)
The Care Act also recognises the vital role of carers and places a duty to assess and support their wellbeing.
Hoarding can place a heavy burden on carers. Our work provides much-needed relief to family members and informal carers, helping to reduce stress and prevent carer breakdown.
Delivering Personalised Care and Support Plans (S9 & 10)
Assessment and support planning must consider what matters to the person and be tailored to their circumstances.
We support social workers and care coordinators in delivering practical, goal-based solutions—from clearing access to a bed, to making homes safe for homecare visits. Whether phased or one-off, our services fit seamlessly into support plans.
