Help shape the future of adult social care

Consultation has concluded



The online platform closed for the first phase of the Big Conversation on Care on 23 September 2026. It will reopen again at a later date for the next phase where you will have another opportunity to have your say.

Thank you for your participation. What was heard online has helped inform the next stages of the Big Conversation on Care.




The Big Conversation on Care is a chance for everyone in England to have their say on the future of adult social care.

Adult social care affects millions of people across the country. It supports older people, disabled people and people with long-term health conditions with a wide range of everyday tasks, helping them to live independently and safely.

However, the reality is that adult social care is not working well enough for many people, and change is needed to ensure that those who need support can get it.

The Big Conversation is part of the work being undertaken by the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care, also known as the Casey Commission. This is being led by Baroness Louise Casey, who was asked by the Prime Minister to consider how adult social care should change to meet the needs of current and future generations, and to make recommendations for reform.
