Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework

The Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) measures how well care and support services achieve the outcomes that matter most to people. The ASCOF is used both locally and nationally to set priorities for care and support, measure progress and strengthen transparency and accountability.

From financial year 2024/25, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has taken responsibility for the publication of the ASCOF. DHSC has produced an interactive dashboard, which is hosted below.
