Accompanying the questionnaire was also a series of posters to raise awareness of how people can make their opinions heard.

It wasn’t easy but after much deliberation a sixth, purple ball was added. Have a play with our balls, see how far you can stretch them, and then click on the orange one to visit our new health and social care image library. Once there you can browse all our images. We’re constantly adding new images so don’t just visit once – do it every week. If you register with Crocstock Images (it’s free) we’ll keep you up-to-date with news about new additions to the library. View individual post & comments » Crocstock Images goes live!Finally after much geeky tweeking Crocstock Images has gone live providing a specialist Health and Social Care image library. In this initial ’soft launch’ period we are looking for feedback on the sites functionality in order that we iron out any unseen glitches and get it as user friendly as possible. We have lots of new contacts and willing models so all the categories will be regularly receiving a healthy batch of new pictures. Registered users will be kept up-to-date whenever new sets of images are up-loaded and will be able to request photos that they would like us to include in the library. As the site grows we hope to provide training and awareness packs, videos and other resources all relating to specialist areas within Health and Social Care. So take a tour of Crocstock Images and register for free today to get access to this specialist resource. Crocstock Images  New Specialist Image Library View individual post & comments » Breaking Down the BarriersBreak Barriers works alongside people with disabilities providing domiciliary care, and support for recreational activities, short breaks and holidays. As a new and developing business Break Barriers had initially created their own branding and marketing literature and were now at the stage to make things more professional. We created a more friendly and welcoming logo, keeping to the client’s preferred colours and created marketing literature which was eye-catching and easy to read. This was particularly helped by professional photographs of the various services provided. Most small businesses struggle to afford professional photography but we are able to offer photography at a reduced rate if the images can be used in ourhealth and social care image library (www.crocstockimages.com). All the client has to do is arrange suitable ‘models’ and we do the rest. The image library focuses on learning disability images but also includes other health and social care areas such as mental health, substance misuse and the elderly.
View individual post & comments » The Power of a Positive ImageCrocodile House has just finished another successful project with Eden Enhanced, a care, support and housing provider for people with a learning disability and more complex challenging support needs. Commissioning Crocodile House for photography meant that we had a great bank of images of people with learning disabilities which we could use in the design. We created a folder and separate information sheets which meant staff could tailor-make packs to send out. More and more of our clients are realising the power of positive images of people with learning disabilities to promote their services and that is why we have created Crocstock Images, an online image library specialising in learning disability photographs.
View individual post & comments » www.crocstockimages.com – It’s getting nearerWith the planned launch of the image library in February gone out the window we’re now looking at the end of March for Crocstock Images to go live. The site is built and all the niggles have been ironed out (we think) so it’s just a matter of uploading images. We’ve recently been getting great images of people with learning disabilities in a variety of work environments such as hotel laundry, elderly care home, refuse collection and catering – all of which will feature on the image library. Crocstock Images will focus on learning disability images but other Health and Social Care areas such as mental health and elderly will feature heavily. Watch this space.

Radford Care Group is a local charity that has been providing support services to older people since 1968. They have their own purpose-built centre on Prospect Street, Radford, Nottingham. The group works in partnership with a number of public and private sector bodies, often as agents to deliver funded projects. Crocodile House created a new logo for the group and then produced new stationery and a brochure. We also spent some time photographing various people and activities at the group and these images have helped to produce professional looking literature. Many of the images will also be appearing in our new Health and Social Care image library www.crocstockimages.com which should be going live in the next four weeks. This week the new website went live (visit Radford Care Group) incorporating all the new branding and mirroring the look of the brochure.
View individual post & comments » The Woodlands – an new service for NottinghamCrocodile House is currently working on the promotion of a new, purpose-built, residential Substance Misuse Service in Nottingham. Having created the logo and corporate branding we’ve produced emailers and die-cut flyers to help inform everyone of the new service. The next stage will be the creation of a brochure, including our photography, to promote the excellent new facilities. The Woodlands is an in-patient unit for people presenting with drug and alcohol problems and is part of Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust. It comprises of Great Oaks (residential) and Tall Trees (therapy and offices), with the first residents arriving at the end of January 2011. It replaces the Porchester Ward, based at the Wells Road Centre, Nottingham which closed in December 2010. It is a new, high quality service provision. A defined, recovery-based service will be delivered, promoting achievable and sustainable lifestyle change. There is an emphasis on the active participation of service users as they journey through the recovery pathway. Further details can be found by ringing The Woodlands on 0115 956 0850 View individual post & comments » Update on Crocstock ImagesWe’ve been very quiet on the news front over the past months so time for a quick catch up. Not only have we been busy with numerous photography and design projects for Bild, Notts Healthcare Trust, Eden Enhanced, Radford Care Group, British Psychological Society, Let’s Build and London Care to name but a few, we have also been busy fine-tuning our new image library. The new library will specialise in Health and Social Care Images, in particular Learning Disability and Mental Health. We’re just in the final stages of web development and then it’s all systems go. The new site willl be found at www.crocstockimages.com and we’ll put the word out as soon as we go live. Watch this space. View individual post & comments » Anti-Stigma Postcard CampaignCrocodile House recently completed photography and design work on the anti-stigma postcard project for Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. The project involved eight people who will appear on 10,000 postcards to be distributed across the county as part of a campaign to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues. The postcards have comments from the subjects about what it is like living with their condition and the stigma they have encountered living with schizophrenia, bi-polar, depression, self-harm and learning disabilities.
