Relevant to adult social care providers in Oxfordshire

The CPA is working with DHSC to understand how global events, including current developments in the Middle East, are affecting ASC providers, particularly through energy, fuel and supply cost pressures. 

Gas and Oil prices are now at their highest levels since 2022 and as we enter winter, DHSC has asked us to repeat our May 2026 survey so that we can identify whether pressures are changing and provide Government with current evidence from the sector.

The survey covers energy and fuel costs, travel and associated resourcing pressures, other operating costs, and any impact on fees or commissioning discussions.

Care providers will be asked to register and select their primary care association before being taken directly to the survey: please select Care Association Alliance.

Registering allows responses from different survey rounds to be compared over time.

If you are not a member of an association, select “I am not part of a care association”.

This is an official CPA survey undertaken for DHSC and hosted on the Jaguar Computers platform. 

Survey data will be available to DHSC in anonymised form and, where a provider is a member, to their care association, to support monitoring and resilience planning.

The ASC workforce across England is being invited to share experiences in the largest workforce survey of its kind, as ministers step up plans to reform the sector and build a National Care Service.

This Workforce Survey is the largest worker-level data collection in the sector in England.  The survey is seeking input from anyone who works in a care-related role in adult social care in England including, but not limited to:

• Care workers
• Personal assistants
• Managers
• Nurses
• Social workers

Seeking views on how we can comprehensively reform the pay discrimination framework so that it works better for workers, businesses and the justice system.

The Health Services Safety Investigations Body is seeking views from care providers, staff, residents, families and healthcare professionals. 

If you have experience of medication management in care homes, including examples of good practice, near misses or ongoing challenges, you can contribute to the investigation and help shape future recommendations for the sector.

This survey is designed to extract specific data on a range of issues faced by Care Workers, influencing policy decisions and ensuring Care Workers’ voices are at the heart of change. By completing this survey, you will be entered into a Prize Draw. 

The Commission on Adult Social Care wants to hear from you. You may want to tell us about your personal experiences of how the system works today – good and bad – and also ideas about how it could be improved.

This page is for anyone – whether you use care and support, work in care, are from an organisation that provides care or works to improve it or you just want to share your thoughts as in interested citizen. We’d like to hear your experiences in your own words and learn what matters most to you.

The Professional Standards Authority invites you to share evidence or insight to inform their assessment of the Care Professionals Register operated by the Care Professional Organisation (formerly NACAS) which has applied for accreditation as a voluntary professional register for care and support workers in England.

This study, led by the University of Southampton, is the first study conducted about live-in care when dementia is the primary support need. The study aims to research live-in care from multiple perspectives to improve clarity and provide evidence that will help  families navigate the long-term care system, and policymakers develop and improve this form of homecare. 

This project aims to understand sense of belonging and perceptions of unity and division in the United Kingdom. The study will involve completing a questionnaire with some interactive elements. It will require around 10-15 minutes of your time. You will be presented with questions about how you feel about your local area and the United Kingdom along with some basic demographic questions.

Open research

We want to understand what everyday technology is being used with and for adults with learning disabilities support. We are asking people who work within support provision, family carers, and adults with a learning disability to complete a short online survey.  The information gathered from this survey will help us understand which technologies are being used by and to support adults with learning disabilities, as well as the purposes they serve.
