The majority of directors of adult social services in England are concerned about the sustainability of some of their home care providers.
ADASS has indicated a growing concern among council directors for funding complex care and support for working age disabled people.
Nearly 55,000 older people and disabled adults are waiting for an assessment of their needs, according the latest ADASS report.
The survey found local councils responsible for social services are facing sharply rising numbers of people coming forward for help.
Councils in the ADASS Yorkshire and Humber region will bring together market intelligence, quality and financial data to be accessed in one place, in real-time.
During his inaugural speech, Stephen Chandler said social care professionals have a “collective responsibility” to raise the profile of the sector.
A report found pockets of best practice, but concluded that social care initiatives are “rarely joined up” or turn into intelligence to prevent people reaching a crisis.
Leaders are calling for clarity about the way forward for the sector after the Chancellor said nothing about social care in his recent Budget.
