We recently launched our seventh annual review of Adult Social Care complaints.

In it we called for more to be done to help the sector capitalise on the valuable learning complaints can bring.

The Review details the trends from complaints we have received and investigated about adult social care in England during 2019-20.

Over the period we received 3,073 complaints and enquiries, but of those, only 430 were from people who arranged their care privately with independent providers.

In the report we say the disproportionately low number of complaints about independent providers we are receiving, means the independent sector is missing out on an untapped seam of valuable learning and potential improvements to their services.
