Tameside’s Residents Encouraged to Feedback in National Adult Social Care Survey

ADULTS in Tameside supported long term by Adult Social Care may be randomly selected to complete a national feedback survey by post.

Each year all councils in England who provide adult social care services have the responsibility to conduct an annual survey. The Adult Social Care Survey (ASCS) is sent by post to a random selection of people who access long-term support from social care and asks them about their experiences.

The survey is sent via post from the 26 of January and a free envelope to return is provided; no stamps are needed.

ASCS is completely anonymous and aims to collect people’s unique feedback on their care and support, helping services to look at where they can improve.

The survey encourages transparency and accountability, making sure people can make better choices about their care and live good lives. The results are used to populate outcome measures in the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework and informs plans for Tameside Council’s adult services.

Executive Member for Adult Social Care Cllr John Taylor said: “Every year, we use this survey to understand what’s going well and where our adult services can improve. Your feedback is vital, it helps ensure we’re listening to your unique experiences when accessing care and support. If you’re selected, please take a few moments to complete the survey, thank you to everyone who takes part.”

The deadline to complete is Friday 13 February 2026 and contact details for support are included in the letter received with the survey.
