Calling all NCF members, we are pleased to announce the launch of our 2026 Social Care Reward, Pay Terms and Conditions Study and Personnel Survey. This year, we have combined the two studies into a single survey, which we are delivering with our new delivery partner Acuity Research & Practice Ltd, a specialist research and benchmarking organisation with more than 28 years’ experience💙

By taking part, you'll be contributing to one of the sector's most valuable benchmarking resources, helping to build a clearer picture of workforce pay, reward, and employment practices across the not-for-profit adult social care and support sector. Your contribution will help identify emerging trends, promote good practice, strengthen sector intelligence, and ensure the experiences of not-for-profit providers are reflected in the evidence that informs future workforce decisions.
