The English Community Care Association (ECCA) is the largest representative body for community care in England . Working on behalf of small, medium and large providers, it speaks with a single unified voice on behalf of its members and the sector, and is seeking to create an environment in which providers can continue to deliver and develop the high quality care that communities require and deserve. In order to do this, ECCA embraces the challenges for the short, medium and long term.

ECCA Beliefs

Individuals, residents and their families recognise the value of high quality care services. ECCA's vision is of a world where the value of independent care homes and care services are understood and promoted by all stakeholders and funded appropriately, and where people who use these care services have a full range of choices and the flexibility to select the care home, or services, that most suits their needs and tastes. ECCA's core mission supports user choice, empowerment and quality services.

ECCA has an inherent respect for partnerships. It understands the importance of strength, unity and commonality of purpose. Above all, ECCA has a commitment to the continued role of a quality conscious independent sector; one that offers real choice and value for money, and where providers are respected and treated fairly.
