The Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework is a national data base that monitors the quality and impact of adult social care services. The below table shows how well we performed in 2020-21 compared to last year, and it also shows our performance against National and CIPFA 10* averages.
Essex ASCOF performance shows that 69% of the indicators are similar or better than National and CIPFA comparator averages, 38% of the indicators are similar to last year and 31% are better than last year.
