What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

A report from the King's Fund suggests a national service should take over adult social care assessment responsibilities in England to address disparities in service access. This plan would allow local councils to shift from being 'gatekeepers' to 'enablers' of community support. Separately, a trade union reported that councils across the country face significant recruitment and retention challenges, particularly for migrant care workers who are vital to adult social care services.
