State of the Nation Report
Each year we publish our State of the Nation report, a data collaboration project that spotlights the emerging themes in social care advice provision.
The report is based on data from a group of helpline organisations, which is larger than ever this year. Royal Mencap Society, Age UK, Carers UK, Independent Age, RNIB, Ealing Advice Service, Citizens Advice Bureau and Scope have all shared their data with us here at Access Social Care, allowing us to produce a comprehensive assessment of the complex issues facing our sector.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are changing the way we work at Access Social Care, whether that’s improving the quality of our written communications, speed up our tasks or helping us give people the right advice to help them understand their social care rights.
However, we remain responsible for the quality and accuracy of the content we produce. The use of any AI tool should therefore be seen as a supportive mechanism to create value and enable productivity, with the recognition that outputs from generative AI are susceptible to bias, mistakes and misinformation.
