Councils may find it useful to refer to the MAX toolkit which contains guides and tools (including Excel-based analysis tools and training materials) associated with the key stages of the survey process – planning, analysis and interpretation, and reporting – and is designed to support council staff to maximise the local relevance, value and use of data from the adult social care and carers’ surveys to inform local performance improvements.

The individual elements of the MAX toolkit were developed in response to the barriers and practices reported by 139 staff from 95 CASSRs during earlier fact-finding activities and consultations, and amalgamates recommended practices for stakeholder engagement, analysis and reporting.

The MAX toolkit is designed to supplement the survey guidance provided by NHS England and is free to use. To find out more about the MAX project or to access the MAX toolkit please visit the max project website or email [email protected].
