SCA membership is like nothing else I have had as a provider. I have worked in other counties and the support that SCA delivers for us in comparison is just brilliant.

Nicola’s Blog – The Local Government Settlement: What It Means for Adult Social Care Providers

The local government settlement brings greater funding certainty for councils, but adult social care continues to absorb a growing share of local authority budgets amid rising demand and costs. Without funding that reflects the true cost of care, independent providers face ongoing financial pressure, threatening market stability and choice for people who rely on care and support. Read Nicola's Blog for January 2026 to see my take on it.

What is adult social care?

Social Care is the support given to people who require assistance with daily tasks or to live independently. It can range from personal care such as washing and dressing to support with managing household tasks. Social care can be delivered in a person’s own home, at a central setting such as a day service or in a residential based service such as a care home. Everyone is entitled to a social care assessment through their local council, but only some people will be eligible for their support to be funded by the council or by the NHS.
