What happens when Adult Social Care colleagues from across England come together to compare approaches, challenge assumptions and explore what better insight could look like?

Our Summer Community Practice Network discussion brought together perspectives from leading councils across England.

The conversation went beyond dashboards and reporting. Councils explored how better insight could help them make prevention visible, understand changing need, anticipate future demand, and turn evidence into earlier action.

We've opened up that conversation in this new insight paper.

Inside the paper

You'll find insights and real examples from councils, alongside:

• Five priorities shaping the future of Adult Social Care insight  

• Practical examples of how councils are approaching prevention, forecasting and benchmarking  

• Five tests to challenge your own approach to insight  

• A model for turning individual evidence into collective intelligence and continuous learning  

• Emerging thinking on how AI could help unlock intelligence held within frontline practice
