Fair Access to Care Services

Fair Access to Care Services (FACS) is a framework used in the UK to assess individuals' needs for social care. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their background, has equitable access to care services based on their level of need. FACS focuses on prioritizing support for people who are most vulnerable, such as those with significant health or social care challenges. By standardizing assessments, it aims to make the allocation of resources fairer and more transparent, ensuring that support is directed where it's needed most.
