Quality of life carers

What this data shows:

This measures carers' social care-related quality of life

How the data is gathered:

This measure is taken from the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) and published by HSCIC. This data combines individual responses to six questions in the Carers' Survey measuring different outcomes related to overall quality of life. 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.

Data Period:

annual 2016/17

Further Information:

This measure gives an overall indication of the reported outcomes for carers: it does not, at present, identify the specific contribution of a local authority's adult social care services towards these outcomes. Only a sample of carers in each authority has been surveyed. This measure is out of a maximum possible score of 12.
