Using focused analysis to fulfil local information needs with ASCS and PSS SACE data

The third in a series of four blogs which introduce the key elements of the MAX toolkit. The MAX toolkit has been developed to support local authority staff to make more use of data collected by the Adult Social Care Survey (ASCS) and Personal Social Services Survey of Adult Carers in England (PSS SACE or Carers’ Survey) for local performance improvement activities (e.g. service delivery, commissioning). The current blog discusses the potential benefits of conducting further analysis and provides a brief introduction to the analysis and interpretation element of the MAX toolkit.
