Introduction for Kings fund
SOCIAL CARE 360:
This review done by the Kings Fund outlines and analyses 20 key trends in adult social care in England over recent years. It draws on data that is:
- publicly available
- published at least annually
- comprehensive (or, at the very least, a representative sample)
- from a reliable source.
It takes a broad perspective, including indicators that relate closely to health, housing, benefits and carers, as well as to the services provided by local authorities, and in doing so provides a uniquely rounded – a ‘360 degree’ – view of the sector. The review is structured into six sections:
- Access
- Expenditure
- Providers
- Workforce and Carers
- Quality
- Integration with other services
