Adult Social Care Service Reviews

Posted on 21st April 2009; updated on 21st April 2009

The excellent range of data collected by CIPFA and the analytical and strategic expertise of the TRIBAL Local Government team have been combined to offer you the chance to order our invaluable Adult Social Care Service Review, tailored specifically to your authority.

Making use of the very latest available data, the service review will help you to better understand the costs and performance of your adult social care department, helping you to manage your service and identify areas for improvement.

These reviews provide a detailed analysis of your individual service and compare it with other authorities. Analysis focuses on five key areas:

• Overall spend compared to the number of service users
• Overall spend compared to performance
• The mix of service provision
• Internal and external provision
• Changes in spend per client group

“I found the assessment of overall spend and aggregated performance against a basket of PAF indicators (Focus 2) particularly useful in supporting our understanding of the overall value for money position of adult social care services. I had not seen analysis combining cost and performance information in this coherent way before. The analysis has provided a helpful contribution to value for money evaluation as part of a wider review of adult social care provision.”

- Simon Willson, Head of Performance; Children, Education and Social Care, Stockton Borough Council
