We deliver and transform adult and children community health services, primary care services including urgent care and sexual health as well as child and adult social care and wellbeing services.

Across England, we support communities of many millions and directly help more than half a million people each year.

In 2024, HCRG Care Group were chosen to lead a pioneering project that will support schools in meeting the needs of neurodiverse pupils in Essex.

The leading health and social care provider worked alongside Essex Family Forum to deliver the Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in School (PINS) project on behalf of the three integrated care boards: NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB, NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB, and NHS Mid and South Essex ICB.

Building on the existing support of Essex County Council, the project pioneered a new model for supporting good outcomes in mainstream schools for neurodiverse students, focusing on improving knowledge, skills, and environments to better meet the needs of neurodiverse children and enhance their educational experiences.

It delivered a bespoke, school-centred package of support into mainstream primary settings to help shape the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) provision, provide early interventions, upskill school staff and support strengthening of partnerships between schools, parents and carers.
