Feeling safe

What this data shows:

This shows what proportion of users feel safe

How the data is gathered:

This measure is taken from the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) and published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. This data shows the number of users of local authority funded care and support services who said 'I feel as safe as I want'. This measure gives an overall perspective of whether users feel safe, and is based on responses to the Adult Social Care Survey, which asks how satisfied or dissatisfied users are with the care and support services they receive. A higher score is better.

Where n/a appears, this indicates that there is no data available for this measure. Where n/a appears across all ASCOF measures for a council, this indicates that the council does not have responsibility for adult social services. To find the council with responsibility for adult social services in your area, please search by your postcode.

Further Information:

This measure gives an overall indication of a reported outcome for an individual – not just how much their local authority funded services contribute. Only a sample of users of social care in each authority has been surveyed for this measure. This measure is a percentage.
