Summary

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.

This report focuses on the main findings for each measure in the ASCOF in 2020-21. Data are provided at council, regional and national level for each outcome.

The 2021-22 ASCOF report gives a summary of the measures in the framework. The report is complemented by an interactive Power BI report, which allows users to explore the data further. The raw data used in the report are available in the accompanying csv file.

Please note, in December 2021 the comparability over time documents were updated to make the change in calculation for 1J clearer. The change to the formula used is explained in the comparability over time worksheet of the time series annex and also Appendix C of the main report.
