Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

Proportion of Social Care Service users aged 65 and over with control over their daily life (11169) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the proportion of respondents to the Adult Social Care Survey aged 65 and over who felt they had control over their daily life by answering 1 or 2 to the question: Which of the following statements best describes how much control you have over your daily life', to which the following answers are possible:
- 1. I have as much control over my daily life as I want
- 2. I have adequate control over my daily life
- 3. I have some control over my daily life but not enough
- 4. I have no control over my daily life.
The measure gives an overall indication of the reported outcome for individuals it does not, at present, identify the specific contribution of councils adult social care towards the outcome.
The introduction of SALT in 2014-15 resulted in changes to the eligible population from which survey samples are selected. Previously, the eligible population of adult social care users for the ASCS had been those in receipt of CASSR-funded services following a full assessment of need (i.e. a snapshot of those eligible for inclusion in RAP table P1). However, with the introduction of SALT, the eligible population has changed to a snapshot of the most closely comparable SALT table, LTS001b, as at the chosen extract date. To be included in table LTS001b a service user must, at the point that data are extracted from CASSR systems, be in receipt of long-term support services funded or managed by the CASSR following a full assessment of need.
Furthermore, a change to the weighting methodology was made in 2014-15. A unique set of weights is calculated for each question by dividing the count of the target population by the count of usable responses to that question (the inverse probability of responding to that question) in each local authority for each stratum. This method is more robust and will produce more accurate results.
Only covers people receiving partly or wholly supported care from their Local Authority and not wholly private, self-funded care.
