ADASS Spring Survey 2021
On this page
The ADASS Spring Survey is an annual survey conducted by ADASS and is sent to every Director of Adult Social Services (referred to as Directors in this report) in the 153 English councils with social care responsibilities. These Directors are all full members of ADASS.
The survey is conducted around the same period each year to enable comparability. Where possible the core survey questions have remained consistent to track trends over time, specifically focusing on budgets, levels of savings and where they have been made, demographic pressures and Director confidence in delivering on their statutory (legal) duties.
Additional questions have been included to further strengthen our understanding of the financial position of, and other challenges facing adult social care. A number of specific topical questions are asked in each survey to reflect issues at that time.
