This statistical release contains England-level findings from the personal social services adult social care survey (ASCS) undertaken in 2024 to 2025. This national survey takes place every year and is conducted by local authorities that provide or commission adult social care services.

- help the adult social care sector understand more about how services are affecting lives
- enable service user choice
- inform service development
