National Care Service: Access and eligibility criteria co-design report - easy read

This easy read report sets out findings we have gathered through research and co-design that relate to access and eligibility criteria.


About access to care and eligibility

Our co-design work has focused on different themes. The themes cover:

  • how people access social care services
  • if a person is eligible, what services they can get
  • the eligibility criteria used by councils to decide if people should get a service

Eligibility criteria are a set of measures that allow councils to decide how much support a person can get.

Our work is looking to improve the ways people get social care support.

This includes big changes to eligibility criteria.

This will help people get the right care for them.
