This document summarises national results on a face-to-face survey of carers to measure the extent and nature of caring and the number of carers in England. Previously, this research was conducted at 5-yearly intervals between 1985 and 2000 as part of the General Household Survey (GHS). The aims of the survey were to establish the prevalence of caring in England, examine trends in the characteristics of carers, examine trends in the intensity and nature of caring, investigate support for carers and investigate the impact of caring on carers. In total, 2041 carers were interviewed between May 2009 and April 2010. The provisional results indicate that in 2009/10, 12 per cent of people aged 16 or over were caring for a sick, disabled or elderly person. This equates to 5 million carers

The NHS Information Centre for health and social care has published 2 surveys of carers: ‘Survey of Carers in Households - 2009/10 England - Provisional Results’ presents national results on the extent and nature of caring and the number of carers in England; and ‘Personal Social Services Survey of Adult Carers in England – 2009-10’ presents a survey of carers known to Councils with Adult Social Services Responsibilities. This report compares the main findings of each survey and draws them together with other published information to give an overall picture of carers in England. The provisional results from the household survey indicate that 12% of people aged 16 or over were caring for a sick, disabled or elderly person. The results are broken down by the amount of time spent providing care, gender, age and ethnicity. The person who is being cared for showed differences between the 2 surveys; the household survey indicated that 35% of carers were looking after a parent and 27% looking after a spouse or partner; and the survey of carers known to councils indicated that 29% were looking after a parent and 47% looking after a partner or spouse.

The first national user experience survey to focus on carers known to councils with adult social services responsibilities, this survey was aimed at carers identified by local authorities aged 18 and over and caring for someone aged 18 and over. Local authorities were asked to survey a sample of carers who had been assessed or reviewed by social services during the past 12 months. The report details the findings concerning the carer, experience of support and services, the impact of caring on quality of life, and experiences of health services as a carer, and includes information on councils taking part in the survey (59% of the 152 councils agreed to take part), response rates and methodology, and a copy of the questionnaire. The headline findings include: 49% of carers who responded to the survey were aged 65 or over, 44% were aged 45 to 64 years, and the remaining 7% were aged 18 to 44 years; 66% of carers who responded to the survey were female; 54% of carers reported that they were either extremely or very satisfied with the support or services they and the person they cared for had received in the last 12 months from social services; 36% of carers who responded said that the overall quality of their lives was either good, very good or could not be better; 49% of respondents reported that their health in general was either good or very good, and 82% of carers said that they were either always or usually involved in discussions with health professionals about the treatment of the person they cared for at NHS hospitals compared with 88% at GP surgeries or health centres.

The purpose of the Adult Social Care Outcome Framework (ASCOF) is to give an indication of the strengths of social care and success in delivering better outcomes for people who use services. In addition, one of the key uses of ASCOF locally is for ‘benchmarking’ and comparison between areas, enabling councils to compare their results with others. This report contains provisional data for the ASCOF measures for England for 2011-12. It provides a table listing the national values for all the measures along with comparisons with 2010-11 where valid. Council level comparisons will be included with the final 2011-12 data which will be published early in 2013. A selection of the ASCOF measures are discussed under the following themes: enhancing quality of life for people with care and support needs; delaying and reducing the need for care and support; ensuring people have a positive experience of care and support; and safeguarding people whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protecting them from avoidable harm.
