SocCon reporting guidance for social care: assessing service pressures in a pandemic

This guidance outlines the need and process for social care services to report a pressures report (named Social care Condition, i.e., SocCon) to the Cabinet Office during the course of the pandemic. This reporting process is also intended to provide a legacy system for monitoring and reporting service capacity issues from social care services in any emergency - not just a pandemic.
