Earlier this year our advice and support projects saw worrying delays in older people being assessed by social care for their needs. We also saw increasing delays in sourcing care packages once an assessment had been completed, so we decided to investigate further and today we publish the report on our findings.   

The full report and an executive summary can be found on our campaigns page here:

Our report makes 7 recommendations that should help drive improvements in social care.
