Jaywick Sands Healthy Homes Initiative - Privacy Notice

The purpose for this processing

To use the funding awarded to improve the housing conditions for those living in the Jaywick Sands area.

Delivered by Tendring District Council environmental health officers, the Jaywick Sands Healthy Homes Initiative will initially drive-up improvements to private rented accommodation in the area. The work will target private rented accommodation, working with tenants and landlords to secure improvements; and enforcing improvement works where an informal approach fails. This also covers homeowners.

The project will also include working collaboratively with partners in the health sector, through referrals and sign posting, to improve housing conditions and where health services can provide focussed interventions for a specific health issue; to achieve positive outcomes for individuals.

This may include recording any safeguarding alerts or concerns to ensure that people are safeguarded with appropriate referrals made to the relevant authorities, to protect vulnerable people from harm.
