This report is based on the views of a very diverse range of social care service users – 112 in all – gathered from many different parts of the country. More than a quarter of the participants in this project were black or from minority ethnic communities. The study was almost entirely undertaken by service users and their organisations, drawing on their networks and experience at local and national levels in undertaking user-led research, evaluation and consultation. There was a remarkable degree of consistency and agreement in what different service users and service users from different parts of the country said. The report is organised in three parts: the first sets out how the consultation was undertaken; the second contains the views of service users generally; and the third reports the views of three specific groups of of people with learning difficulties to ensure that their comments have equal visibility.

Service users get together with a social care academic and a leader in the home care sector to discuss how excellence can be achieved in domiciliary care. We see examples of excellence in support offered to older people, people with learning disabilities and people with physical disabilities in their own homes. Much of the focus is on the relationship between staff members and the people they support because getting that right is fundamental to excellent care.
