Dorset Integrated Prevention Partnership Services

Description

The Dorset Integrated Prevention Partnership Service (DIPPs) is a collaboration between Dorset Council and Voluntary, Community, and social enterprises (VCSE) through the delivery of a range of early intervention, preventative, community-based services.
These include universal, light touch support through to more comprehensive support for people with a range of needs. This support is aimed at ensuring people can access support which promotes independence, wellbeing, opportunity and social connectivity, preventing, reducing and delaying the need for formal health and care interventions.
