Adult Social Care Survey
The adult social care survey (ASCS) is an annual survey of social care users aged 18 and over. The survey aims to help social care providers and commissioners understand service user views, and to use this to develop better services. From financial year 2024/25, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has taken responsibility for the publication of the ASCS. The DHSC has produced an interactive dashboard, which is hosted below.
