flag Norfolk’s adult social care scored "requires improvement" due to inconsistent care and equity issues.

flag Norfolk County Council’s adult social care services were rated "requires improvement" by the Care Quality Commission, scoring 56%—six points below the threshold for a "good" rating. flag The inspection, conducted from January 31 to July 3, 2025, found inconsistencies in care delivery, including delays in assessments, inadequate follow-up for unpaid carers, and prolonged stays in unsuitable placements. flag While frontline staff and leadership were praised, concerns were raised over safeguarding, equity, and low uptake of direct payments, especially in rural areas. flag The council expressed disappointment, citing reliance on anecdotal evidence, but emphasized ongoing transformation efforts, staff dedication, and initiatives to reduce inequality and improve care.
