More information
The surveys are the most significant pool of personal outcome information for those receiving CASSR-funded or managed adult social care, and for carers of people receiving adult social care. They are an important resource for reporting what has been achieved for local people, supporting development and improvement of local services and enabling people to make better choices about their care.
As well as providing an overall quality of life index, they provide intelligence on whether specific groups experience better outcomes, whether services and support are meeting all outcome needs, and the value added by social care services. The surveys provide assured, benchmarked local data to support local services in thinking about ways of improving outcomes for carers and users.
