Abstract
Since the recent onset of the economic slowdown, the LGA and ADASS have become aware that local authorities are reporting impacts across the whole system of social care. In order to have a more in-depth understanding of how the economic slowdown is affecting adult social care, a qualitative study was commissioned to examine the impact in some detail, by focussing on a small number of 'case study' councils.The aim of the research was to explore all effects of the economic downturn on social care and support services, both positive and negative.
