Bexley Council is examining user feedback on adult social care services to address satisfaction levels that are below national averages.

In June 2026, Bexley's Adult Social Care & Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee heard that adult social care satisfaction levels in the borough are lower than the England national average. A report to the committee, based on user feedback, complaints, compliments, and a carer's survey, highlighted issues such as carer burnout and the importance of consistent care.

The topic of lived experiences refers to the personal accounts and perspectives of individuals who have directly experienced a particular situation or service. No further discussions or decisions on this specific topic are currently scheduled at Bexley Council based on the available information.
